Vendor Evaluation

[Former Member]

Hi,

1. I have created 1st PO with price 94 and checked the ME63, system showed score for price level as 40. Then I made another PO with price 80 and checked ME63, system displayed the same score 40,

again I created new PO with the price 40, the also system is showing score 40. While there is change in price more than 5 %, so I was expecting score as 50.

2. How I can maintain vendor evaluation ME61 for all vendors at same time?? in single go.

Can anyone explain about this.

To evaluate price, you usually have to maintain market prices to enable SAP to calculate a variance between market price and your PO price.

Had you done that?

if yes, then see the explanation of the smoothing factors explained by another helper.

Hi Jurgen,

Thanks for the reply.

1. I have not maintained the market price as practically it is not possible with my customer to maintain it for all materials. It is also not necessary to maintain "Market Price" as system calculate it by averaging effective price, this is as per sAP help.

2. Can you please explain me what should be the score in case of example I have mentioned in my post.

Thanks

Can be done with transaction ME6G

Please define a variant for the selection of report RM06LBAT

first. This can be done in SE38.

Then you schedule the job in ME6G using report RM06LBAT with your variant.

1. I think you answered for my second point. I tried to run ME6G. But I am facing problem to understand the steps. Can you plz send detailed steps where I can maintain vendor evaluation ME61 for all vendors in single go.

2. If you can answer my 1st point it will be helpful to me.

Thanks

Hi Nilesh,

for the question regarding how the system is calculating the scores. see you have defined some parameters for getting the scores called as smoothing factors. if you ask me in statistical way its nothing but the standard deviation defined for the averages.

so what does this mean? i means that if the average is calculated then the variance will be fixed as per the smoothing factors. then system will only consider those data points which falls in this range. if you want more detailed explanation please go through the vendor evaluation settings and how the scores are calculated document.

please search for vendor evaluation in this forum and the thread by cherry kln there you will find the pdf file for the vendor evaluation which tells you in details about vendor evaluation. since i could not copy paste the thread link just telling you this way.
