Config Smoothing factor in vendor evaluation

Dear MM experts,
Please let me know where I can config smoothing factor of score in vendor evaluation!
Thanks!

Hi,
what do you mean by smoothing factor. Normally the primary criteria used for vendor evaluation is
1. Price
2. Quality
3. Delivery norms
4. Service
based on 4 above points the evaluation is reveiwed.

Smoothing factor in Vendor evaluation

Hi,
I'm not able to understand the math underneath the "smoothing factor" used in vendor evaluation. Could someone throw some light in this?
thanks!

Hi
A score for a new goods receipt or the scores for a new service will change the existing scores for the current month.
The new individual score does not have the same significance as the previous composite score, because the latter was calculated from a number of individual scores. For this reason, the new individual score is given a lower weighting (that is to say, it is smoothed).
In carrying out this process, the system applies the relevant smoothing factors that you have defined for each individual score in Customising.
OMGL is the transaction to configure smoothing factor.
hope it helps.

Smoothing factors for Vendor Evaluation for Services

Hi Team,
How to apply smoothing factors for Quality and Timeliness of services in External Services. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
ANita.

Hi ,
I will try to explain with one example
Actually in vendor evaluation , we are going to get only one percentage say for a material A for example Qty reliability - smoothing factor is 0.20
Material A is ordered by so many purchase orders and many goods receipts are done in many times. Goods receipt is done 6 times till now and the score is 80% . Now GR is done for 7th time . If the qty reliability is 100 % for this GR
the score is calculated in the following way
80%0.8+100%0.2 --- this the score after the 7th goods receipt....
Hope now u understand .... If u still have queries please post your feedback...
If u are satisfied , please reward points

Weighting factor for Vendor evaluation

Hi gurus
we have configured evaluation like Quality-50%, Delivery-25%, quantity-25%
for all vendors it is picking the same criteria but donno for one vendor calculation criteria is picking like Quality-66.7% and Delivery-33.3% and Quantity-0%
What would be the reason and why this is happening for only one vendor.and how to come out of this
Thanks in Advance.

and the note said:
1. Question:
Why is my purchase order not considered when calculating a score for quantity reliability?
Answer:
Only closed purchase orders will be considered, as long as they fall within your given time range.
A purchase order is closed if:
the goods receipt quantity is greater than or equal the po quantity.
the delivery complete flag is set in the purchase order.

Vendor Evaluation Smoothing Factor an average

Hi,
We are setting up Vendor Evaluation and would like the Delivery scores to be closer to a true average of all of the scores. We are having difficulty getting to that number. Is there a way to do it in SAP?
Thanks.

Dear Sachin,
You can go to SPROMM-Purchasing-Vendor evaluationMaintain P.Organization data .
Then select the P.Org , then go to point score for automatic criteria.
You also can maintain the smoothing factor , min delv.var,etc, Just double click(go to detail) when you select the p.org.
The percentage score is define as per business req.

Delivery rating in vendor evaluation

Can I know on what logic system calculates the delivery rating, for schedule agreement which has more than one schedule lines.
Regards,
M.M

Dear Magesh,
This is for On time delivery:
===========================================================
At the time of a goods receipt against a purchase order, the system checks whether the delivery was on time or late:
GR date - delivery date = date variance
If the delivery was on time, the system checks whether a minimum delivery quantity is to be taken into account.
It checks the Minimum delivery quantity/standardizing value for delivery time variance from material indicator.
If the indicator has been selected, it checks whether a value has been maintained in the material master record.
If a value exists, it is used. If no value exists, the value from the Minimum delivery percentage field is used. If there no such value in this case either, goods receipts of fractions of the order quantity are included in the calculation of the score.
If the indicator has not been selected, the value from the Minimum delivery percentage field is used. If no value exists, goods receipts of fractions of the order quantity are included in the calculation of the score.
If the minimum delivery quantity is not reached, the system does not determine a score for the goods receipt.
If the minimum delivery quantity is reached and the delivery date adhered to, the variance is zero and the system awards the highest points score for the relevant goods receipt.
If the delivery is not on time, the system calculates the date variance in days and converts it into a percentage variance.
In the process, the system searches for the standardizing value as follows:
It checks the Minimum delivery quantity/standardizing value for delivery time variance from material indicator.
If the indicator has been selected, it checks whether a value has been maintained in the material master record.
If a value exists, it is used. If not, the value from the Standardizing value for delivery time variance field is used. If there is no such value in this case either, one of the following values is used:
in the case of goods receipts against scheduling agreement releases: the firm zone
in the case of goods receipts against purchase orders: the difference between the statistical delivery date and the order date
If the indicator has not been selected, the value from the Standardizing value for delivery time variance field is used. If there is no such value, one of the following values is used
in the case of goods receipts against scheduling agreement releases: the firm zone
in the case of goods receipts against purchase orders: the difference between the statistical delivery date and the order date
The system then awards the score you defined in Customizing for this percentage variance.
The new score is then included in the vendor's previous score for the subcriterion. To calculate the new score for the subcriterion from the already existing composite score and this new individual score, the system applies the smoothing factor Date variance defined in Customizing.
When you run a new evaluation, the system calculates the average of the individual scores for all materials. The result is the vendor's score for "On-Time Delivery Performance".
If a goods receipt covers several schedule lines, MM Vendor Evaluation performs this calculation for each schedule line.
This results in more than one score for the single goods receipt. Each of these scores is multiplied by the quantity delivered against the relevant schedule line and is thus weighted by quantity.
The sum of the weighted points scores is divided by the total goods receipt quantity. The result is the score for this one goods receipt.
The score for the goods receipt is smoothed and included in the existing score for on-time delivery performance for the vendor
Adherence to Conf. Date :
===========================================================
1. When a goods receipt is posted for an order item, the system checks whether open inbound deliveries exist for the order item, i.e. inbound deliveries for which no goods receipts have yet been recorded.
If open inbound deliveries exist, the system checks whether the date previously notified by the vendor has been adhered to or whether the goods receipt date differs from the date thus confirmed:
GR date - date confirmed by vendor in shipping notification = date variance
2. If the delivery was on time, the system checks whether a minimum delivery quantity has been defined in Customizing.
a. If you have not set a minimum delivery quantity, goods receipts representing partial deliveries will also be included in the calculation of the score.
b. If the minimum delivery quantity is not reached, the system does not determine a score for the goods receipt.
c. If the minimum delivery quantity is reached and the delivery is on time, the variance is zero. This means that the system awards the maximum score for the goods receipt.
3. If the delivery date is not in accordance with the notified one, the system calculates the date variance in days and converts it into a percentage variance.
4. The system then awards the score you defined in Customizing for this percentage variance.
5. The new score is then merged with the vendor's previous score for the subcriterion. To calculate the new score for the subcriterion from the already existing composite score and this new individual score, the system applies the smoothing factor On-time delivery performance/Timeliness of service provision (defined in Customizing for Vendor Evaluation under Purchasing organization data for Vendor Evaluation).
6. When you run a new evaluation, the system calculates the average of the individual scores for all materials. The result is the vendors score for adherence to the confirmation date.
If a goods receipt covers several schedule lines, MM Vendor Evaluation performs this calculation for each schedule line.
This results in more than one score for the single goods receipt. Each of these scores is multiplied by the quantity delivered against the relevant schedule line and is thus weighted by quantity.
The sum of the weighted points scores is divided by the total goods receipt quantity. The result is the score for this one goods receipt.
The score for the goods receipt is smoothed and merged with the existing score for adherence to the confirmation date for the vendor.

Hi,
I have logged similar request before and never got a satisfactory solution. My recommendation is to check the attached link, it details how the scores are calculated with reference to the config you have created. Just rolled out vendor evaluation in my organisation and this document was very useful.

Confirmation date in vendor evaluation

Hi Gurus,
Can you please let me know the settings to be maintained to get a score for the sub criteria Adherence to confirmation date during vendor evaluations.
I've already maintained the purchasing org config settings like weighting and point scores for the automatic criteria.
But when I run a vendor evaluation there is no score coming out for the sub-criteria Adherence to confirmation date.
I'm using the confirmation control key One day acknowledge and confirmation category AB (Order acknowledge). Please let me know if anything is missing out

Ashwin.

Our company has the same issue, did you find a solution to this problem?

Vendor Evaluation in Background

Dear Gurus,
For vendor evaluation in Back ground, Do i need to maintain weight keys? then where can i see the output report once after running vendor evaluation in background.
Please advice
Thanks
RS

Dear,
Weighting Key is an identifier under which weighting factors for a number of main criteria can be grouped together and saved. If you know that you want to carry out an evaluation with certain main criteria and certain weighting factors, you can save this combination under a weighting key.
When you carry out the next vendor evaluation, just enter the relevant weighting key instead of entering a weighting factor for each individual criterion. The stardard two keys available are 01, 02.
If you do not have the weighting key, use the possible entries facility.
Next, in the background processing, usually evaluate vendors belonging to the same group (that is, vendors who have the weighting key). However, it is possible that you have selected an interval that contains different groups of vendors. For this reason, you may not enter a Weighting Key.
However the evaluation with weighting keys are preferred (basing on your organizations requirements and client performance, these may not be required). If you have enough time and interested to review the subject please have a look at: http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/EN/data/pdf/MMISVE/MMISVE.pdf?bcsi_scan_DAD819A53026B58E=0&bcsi_scan_filename=MMISVE.pdf

Help...Vendor Evaluation Websurvey not showing

Dear All,
Im facing a problem in Vendor evaluation. I've done the following steps:
1. Create Questionnaire and assign it to Survey
2. Define Event for survey
3. Activate SRM_VE_SERVICE and UWS_FORM_SERVICE in SICF
When I create confirmation for PO, the survey page should appear automatically so I can fill the questionnaire. But it only show a blank page. Does anyone has ever experienced the same problem?
Rgds,
Aleluya.

Hi Aleluya ,
you nee to perform this config steps
1.To create surveys and questionnaires, make the necessary settings in Customizing for Supplier
Relationship Management (SRM) under SRM Server Integration with Other mySAP Components
Data Transfer to the SAP Business Information Warehouse Settings for Application-Specific DataSources (SRM)
Web Survey Cockpit for SRM Supplier Evaluation .
or you can use this tcode BBP_EVAL_SURVEY
2. To create a Web survey, choose Survey Create from the menu. The name and the identifier
can be chosen freely. The survey credentials are not used for calling up the questionnaire later on,
but are helpful for categorizing the different questionnaires.
3. After having saved a survey for the first time, you can add a new target group for mass data to its
target group hierarchy. No additional user information (e-mail, user) is needed here, because user
information is added to the questionnaire at runtime.
4. To create a questionnaire, choose the Questionnaire pushbutton.
Note
Thanks & Regards
