In this Customizing activity, you define how a rating criterion contributes to the overall rating of the supplier. You control this behavior using a set of calculation rules. Every row that you maintain in this activity represents a single rule. The scope of a single rule can be at three different levels:

• The rule controls the calculation of the score of a rating criterion for a particular supplier, ship-from location, and ship-to location. Supplier, ship-from location, and ship-to location are explicitly specified for the rule.

• The rule controls the rating criterion calculation for a particular supplier, and any ship-from location and ship-to location. Whereas the supplier is explicitly specified for the rule, the ship-from location and ship-to location are set to the value .

• The rule controls the rating criterion calculation for any supplier, ship-from location, and ship-to location. Both supplier and ship-to location are specified by the value .

When the system starts to calculate the score of a supplier based on the chosen rating criterion, ship-from location, ship-to location, and period of analysis it searches for a matching calculation rule. According to the different scopes outlined above, m values is chosen. You can maintain multiple versions for each rule. Every rule has a field with name Valid From that defines the earliest period of analysis for which this rule is applicable. Every new version inactivates versions with an earlier start date.

You can only create rules for those rating criteria listed in the Customizing activity List Rating Criteria.

Specify settings for all fields of a calculation rule. Start with the rule's key that uniquely identifies a rule:

• First, specifiy for which suppliers, ship-from locations, and ship-to locations you want to use the rule.

• Then, specify the rating criterion for the rule.

• Finally, define the date of the earliest period of analysis for the rule.

Continue with the main characteristics of the calculation rule:

• The Rating Criteria Used field specifies whether you are using the rating criterion in the reporting.

• The Use Default Value if No Valid Data Exist field specifies whether you want to assign a default score if data that is required to calculate the rating criterion does not exist. If you set the value for the Use Default Value if No Valid Data Exist field to Yes, and there are no valid data in a certain period, then the system uses the score points from the Default Score Due to No Valid Datafield.

• The Default Score If Supplier Is Not Process Enabled field specifies if it makes sense from a business point of view to calculate a rating criterion. If this is not the case, the system uses the default score points entered in the Default Score Due to Not Process Enabled field. You can determine if you want the business rule to apply default values for those suppliers that you (technically) cannot measure for some rating criteria in the given period of analysis.

Note: In the following special cases the system calculates neither score points nor a default score. This means that the rating criteria does not contribute to the overall supplier rating for the given period of analysis:

• There is no valid data available for the supplier, ship-from location, and ship-to location for the given period of analysis to calculate the score of the rating criterion.

• The Use Default Value if No Valid Data Exist field is set to No.

• The Default Score If Supplier Is Not Process Enabledfield is set toYes.
