Symptom
Supplier evaluation is configured using operational criteria such as Quantity, Delivery Date, and Price.
-
Relevant weighting and scoring methods are maintained and assigned to purchasing categories.
-
In the Supplier Evaluation by Quantity and Supplier Evaluation by Price apps:
-
Variation percentages appear as 0% for all documents.
-
Variation scores are missing or inaccurate.
-
The evaluation results do not reflect expected scoring behavior.
-
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Use the Supplier Evaluation by Quantity or Price app.
- Observe that the system shows 0 for all Variation % and corresponding scores.
Cause
-
The apps calculate average variance values across documents using predefined logic.
-
These averages are not directly comparable to the outputs from the Supplier Evaluation Weighting and Scoring app.
Resolution
- The Variance Score and Variance Percentage in the Supplier Evaluation by Price app are calculated as averages based on the number of documents and a specific calculation logic.
- This calculation approach is not directly comparable to the logic used in the Supplier Evaluation Weighting and Scoring app.
- For accurate evaluation, the variance values of individual documents should be compared between the two apps.
- A document-level comparison will yield meaningful and correct results.
