      <Paragraph>The calculation of vendor ratings takes place after purchase
		orders are created and processed. You can use objective and/or subjective
		criteria in the calculation. Objective information comes from processed orders
		and subjective criteria information is entered.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>Before you start the calculation procedure, use the following
		  sessions to enter subjective criteria information:</ListIntro>

         </ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>To assign subjective values to subjective criterions, you need
		  your employees who work with your business partners to give feedback on how
		  they rate them. You can print vendor rating questionnaires to give to employees
		  to fill out. This information can be compiled and entered into LN and used in the vendor
		  rating calculation. The employees of your company can also enter the
		  information directly in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur8193m000" role="session">Questionnaire Results (tdpur8193m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
