PURCHASING > Reports > Supplier information > Supplier performance

 

This report is used to rate the performance of a supplier relative to all other suppliers, based on purchasing activity (volume), billing accuracy, on-time delivery, quality of items supplied and the number of canceled POs.

The report provides a high level view of how a supplier is performing and is often used when deciding between multiple suppliers for large purchases, contract renewals, etc.

The "Overall Performance" value listed at the bottom of the report combines the supplier’s performance in each of the 6 individual areas of performance (focus) taking into account how important each area of performance is to you (the Weighting Factors) to provide  an indication of the supplier’s overall performance. This is the most common piece of information used to compare suppliers.

However, in addition to comparing the overall performance of suppliers, in some cases it may also be beneficial to compare results in the individual areas of performance, such as when a buying decision will be impacted more heavily by certain areas of performance. For example, if on-time delivery is critical to the success of a large project, you may put more emphasis on that one area.

Supplier performance values are estimates and are rounded to the nearest dollar when calculated.

The information on this report is updated automatically as POs and other related transactions are processed.
