How to use BPs ranking?
Description of Solution / Details
Explanation:
In X3, you can enter marks on the supplier quality. The different marks are weighted as a function of the coefficients associated with the supplier category to obtain a general mark. It is just informative; there is no SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) in X3, so no tracking on the supplier ranking.
The following ranks and weightings can be entered:
- LT(field LTIMRK)
This is the factor used to evaluate this supplier's performance with respect to lead-time (i.e., how close the supplier comes to meeting his promised delivery lead-time.)
o field LTIMRKCOE
Coefficient applied to the assigned note for the lead-time adherence for this supplier. This coefficient is initialized by default to a value given to this coefficient in the supplier category table.
- Unit Price(field PRIMRK)
This is the factor assigned to the supplier with respect to pricing (i.e., how close the supplier comes to billing you the same amount that is present on your POs to him).
o field PRIMRKCOE
Coefficient applied to the assigned grade for price compliance for this supplier. This coefficient is initialized by default to a value given to this coefficient in the supplier category table.
- Quality(field QLYMRK)
This is the factor assigned to the supplier with respect to quality (i.e., how many rejects are experienced on receipts from this supplier, or how many QC failures).
The value is used only for informational purposes and has no effect on subsequent processing, but it could be used in conjunction with the tracking factors set generally for the related supplier.
When defining Product-Supplier cross references, a quality metric can be set for each supplier that can provide a given product, to allow for more informed sourcing decisions.
o field QLYMRKCOE
Coefficient applied to the grade assigned for quality compliance for this supplier. This coefficient is initialized by default to a value given to this coefficient in the supplier category table.
- Quantity(field QTYMRK)
This is the factor assigned to the supplier with respect to the quantities (i.e., how close the receipt quantities are to those that are ordered, or how many partial receipts have to be processed before a PO is fulfilled).
o field QTYMRKCOE
Coefficient applied to the grade assigned for quantity compliance for this supplier. This coefficient is initialized by default to a value given to this coefficient in the supplier category table.
- Free(field RSKMRK)
This is the factor assigned to the supplier according to a user-defined criterion.
You can rename this field to have more meaning to your company by carefully changing ATEXTE number 6419.
o field RSKMRKCOE
Coefficient applied to the grade assigned according to a criterion left free for this supplier. This coefficient is initialized by default to a value given to this coefficient in the supplier category table.
How to:
Select your supplier and go to tab “Ranking”.
You have now the “Ranks and Weighting” window with the fields explained above.
Enter your values and then a Total Rank will be automatically generated.
On the right window, a graph is generated too.
