GR Inspection in Vendor Evaluation.

[Former Member]

Hi,

In Vendor Evaluation, under the main Criteria "Quality", there is a sub-criteria defined for "GR Inspection".

I just want to know from which transaction, the GR Inspection is triggered .

I am just exploring the T Code ME6H, I am able to understand/ test the logic for Delivery & Quantity. I am not able to get the logic for Quality.

Please guide.

Hi,

If QM Module is used and after GR against PO, stock gets posted to Quality Stock with creation of Inspection Lot.

Then this Inspection lot has been tested and quality user records the result of quality testing and give the usage decision (UD) as Accepted (A) and Rejected (R). These UD Codes have the scores assigned to it (Check in QS55) which get linkd to the GR Doc in QM Tables.

During Vendor evaluation (ME61), system reads all the inspection lots created during GR against PO and based on this scores are getting calcluated and proposed.

Hi Pankaj,

Thanks a lot for the reply.

Just to inform you that I am exploring the Vendor Evaluation for the first time.

Regarding the my Question, let me tell you that I created a PO, did the GR & given the UD, But when I executed the T Code ME6H, the nothing is coming.

One basic question I want to ask you us why & when we execute T Code ME61? And is this mandatory to run ME61?.

Please guide.

Hi,

ME6H is the report to see the Vendor Evaluation Scores.

First you have to run the Vendor Evaluation Transaction i.e. ME61 and Save the Scores.

If you are a beginer for Vendor Evaluation the refer following useful thread;

Thanks again for the reply.

I have studied about the Vendor Evaluation from help.sap.com documentation. I did the following as mentioned in the documents:

1. From the system menu, choose Logistics -> Materials management -> Purchasing and then Master data -> Vendor evaluation  Maintain. The initial screen appears.

2. Enter the keys for the purchasing organization and vendor and then press ENTER. An overview of the main criteria for this purchasing organization is displayed.

3. Maintain the mandatory-entry field Weighting key

4. From the menu bar, choose Edit  Auto. re-evaluation

5. Save the evaluation

Eval. criterion Score Weighting

01 Price 100 25.0 ; %

02 Quality 0 0.0 ; %

03 Delivery 88 25.0 ; %

04 Service 90 25.0 ; %

05 Service 0 0.0 ; %

07 Meeting Emerg. Req. 95 25.0 ; %

Here Scores for Price & Delivery was calculated automatically.

I put the Scores for Service (90) & Meeting Emerg. Req manually (95).

Request you to please explain/ confirm the following:

1. Here I could not see the scores for Quality, why?

2. Data in ME6H report is same , before & after saving the data in ME61. Is it correct?i

3. In ME6H, scores for Delivery is 80 where as in ME61 it is 88, why?

4. For evaluating a Vendor, as I understood, I need to run ME61 everytime for each Vendor. Here I need to enter Scores for criteria which is maintained manually.

Please guide?

Hi,

1. Here I could not see the scores for Quality, why?

--> Read my previous post carefully, it is not required to maintain the score for quality here, it comes from the Usage Decision of the Inspection Lot (If you are not able to understand or not aware of QM transctions of SAP then take help of your QM Consultant to understand the same)

2. Data in ME6H report is same , before & after saving the data in ME61. Is it correct?

--> Perfomr some transactions (GR, QM Inspection, etc...) and then run ME61 and analyse.

3. In ME6H, scores for Delivery is 80 where as in ME61 it is 88, why?

--> ME6H is period specific report and ME61 is till date, just chekc the selection criteria in ME6H.

4. For evaluating a Vendor, as I understood, I need to run ME61 everytime for each Vendor. Here I need to enter Scores for criteria which is maintained manually.

--> Yes.

Hi Pankaj,

Thanks a lot for the reply & support.

I tried create few vendors, and did the cycle for PO_GR_Inspection. For quality, I accepted one lot, and I rejected one lot. but I could not see any data in Me6H.

If possible, pls guide me where I have missed out anything ; As advised, I will discuss with my QM consultant on this,

Could you please tell me about the reports which we use frequently for vendor evaluation other than ME6H.

Thanks a lot again for your support, I am highly obliged.

Regards,

Pramod

After GR & Inspection, carry out ME61 and then check the Quality Scores in ME61. Also check the UD Codes in QS55 whether they have some scores assigned to it or not?

Vendor Evalaution Report: -

ME64 - Evaluation Comparison (Material or Material Group basis)

This report differs from others in that it provides a detailed picture of one specific vendor, without any other vendors being involved. In this report the overall score calculated from deliveries of all the vendor's materials is compared to the overall score the vendor would receive if only one specific material formed the basis of the evaluation. With this report, you can determine how a vendor performs with regard to one of your most important materials.

For example, the report will tell you that a vendor with a poor or average general evaluation actually has a much better score in relation to material X or Z than vendors with good general evaluations.

This information ensures that you do not overlook interesting sourcing options you may otherwise not consider when procuring the materials in question.

You cannot save this report, but you can regenerate it as required.

ME65 - Evaluation Lists

This report generates a list of vendors in descending order according to overall score. You can see which vendors received the best scores in the group, which have average scores, and which have below-average scores.

As well as the overall score, the scores for the individual main criteria are displayed. The system also calculates the average values for individual scores. You can then determine by how many points a vendor deviates from the average value.

ME6A - Changes to Vendor Evaluation

Changes in Vendor Evaluation details can be viewed

ME6B - Display Vendor Evaluation for Material / Material Group

This report also generates a ranking list of vendors in descending order according to overall scores. Unlike the previous ranking list of vendors, it is based on a certain material or material group. This allows you to determine which vendors received a good, average, or poor score for a particularly important material.

ME6C - Vendors without Evaluation

This report offers you the following options:

u2022 You can list all vendors who have not yet been evaluated.

u2022 You can list the vendors who have not yet been evaluated with respect to certain criteria. This will also provide you with an overview of those vendors who have no overall evaluation covering all main criteria, but only individual evaluations for certain main criteria.

ME6D - Vendors Not Evaluated Since...

This report lists all the vendors who have not been evaluated since a certain date.

ME6H - Standard Analysis: Vendor Evaluation

The data determined in Vendor Evaluation is written to a special statistics file (information structure S013) within the LIS and from there utilized for analysis purposes. The data (or key figures) are the scores for the following criteria:

u2022 Quantity reliability

u2022 On-time delivery performance

u2022 Compliance with shipping instructions

u2022 Quality Inspection (From UD)

u2022 Timeliness of external service provision
