Hello,
I have recently started configuring vendor evaluation for my company and have run into a couple questions. For the purchase org we are configuring, there are two weight keys that were requested, one for commodities (which weighs price as the highest) and one for special materials (which weighs price and delivery highest). The issue I have run into is that for commodities, we do not want to use the automatic criteria for delivery (on time delivery, quantity, etc) as our vendors send product by rail, and once they put it in the railcar they have no control over how long it takes to get to us, however, we want to use the automatic criteria for special materials. I have tried doing this a couple ways with no great solution...
The first thing I tried was creating a new main criterion called “Delivery (Manual)” with a manual subcriterion. Then, for the commodity weight key, adding only that main criterion instead of the normal “03 Delivery” sap standard criterion, and vice versa for our special materials. This resulted in an error of the weight keys not being maintained for the purchase org.
After, I added all of the criterion for both weight keys and added “0” as the weighting for the fields I don’t want, however, it still calculates, and shows in the vendor evaluation (but does not change the total score). This is confusing to the users, looks messy and would prefer to not have to do it this way.
The last thing I tried was only using the standard delivery criterion, and adding a manual field, but there is no way to distinguish between weight keys calculate what so that didn't work.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into the same problem or if anyone has a better cleaner solution to set up the vendor evaluation for this purchase org.
Any help is appreciated!
