Vendor Evaluation

The Vendor Evaluation screen allows a corporate user to create a list of values and ratings that will be available to rate a vendor at certain stages of the vendor order process. Once this list has been defined, these evaluations will be available for users to select "Vendor Feedback" when consolidating, reconciling, or canceling a vendor order in Enterprise Manager or Net-Chef.

After users have assigned feedback options to vendor orders, they can be viewed for those orders in each vendor’s record (see "Vendor Details: Evaluations"). This information is also available in Bid Analysis on the Vendor Scorecard so that, in addition to the vendor bids, corporate users have performance data available to help determine which vendors to award contracts.

Under the Purchasing menu, click Vendors.

Click the Plus (Add) icon to create a new entry, or click on the appropriate row to modify an existing one.
Enter a Vendor Evaluation description – up to 40 characters.
Select a Rating option ('Positive', 'Neutral', or 'Negative').
The Active Flag box defaults to checked when creating a new evaluation; clear this check box if it should not be active.
When finished, click the Disk (Save) icon to save your changes.
To download and print these entries, click the Printer (Export) icon and select the desired options.

If necessary, you can click on a row and click the Trash Can (Delete) icon to remove it.
