Updating overall vendor ratingWhen you do a full update of the vendor ratings in the Update Vendor Rating (tdpur8850m000) session, the calculation of the overall vendor rating for each business partner is the fourth stage in the calculate/update vendor rating procedure. The following methods, which you specify in the Methods/Factors field of the Vendor Rating Parameters (tdpur0100m800) session, are used to calculate the overall vendor ratings:
The overall vendor rating is calculated in the Update Vendor Rating (tdpur8850m000) session and displayed in the Vendor Ratings by Period (tdpur8102m000) and Vendor Ratings by Criterion (tdpur8102m100) sessions. Before LN calculates the overall vendor rating, the period rating for the newest business partner/period combination is calculated. LN calculates the period rating for the business partner/period combination as follows:
Example The following criteria apply to a business partner in the newest period:
The period rating for this business partner/period combination is calculated as follows: Overall rating = (90 * 30%) + (80 * 40%) + (50 * 20%) + (70 * 10%) = 76% LN writes the results of this calculation to these sessions:
In this case, the Criterion Type and Criterion fields are blank in the Vendor Ratings by Period (tdpur8102m000) and Vendor Ratings by Criterion (tdpur8102m100) sessions to make clear that the displayed vendor rating is the overall rating for the business partner/period combination.
