| Calculation of total scoring values per criterion |  |
| If you sent requests for quotations (RFQs) to buy-from business partners, you can rank the quotations that you get back from the buy-from business partners to decide from which buy-from business partner you will purchase. Before you can rank the quotations, ERP LN must calculate the scoring values for each quotation. The procedure that is followed to calculate the total scoring value for each criterion consists of several steps. ERP LN retrieves the RFQ data that is needed for the calculation, from the Purchase Request for Quotation Lines (tdpur1502m000) session and the quotation data from the Buy-from BP - Quotations (tdpur1506m000) session. Delivery dates In the first place a scoring value is calculated based on the delivery dates. The delivery date difference is calculated as follows: Delivery date is specified on the RFQ and the quotation Delivery difference = RFQ delivery date - quotation delivery date. Lead time is specified on the RFQ and the quotation Delivery difference = RFQ lead time - quotation lead time. Start date is specified on the RFQ and the quotation Delivery difference = (RFQ start date - quotation start date) + (RFQ end date - quotation end date). ERP LN retrieves the scoring value for the delivery difference from the Criteria Set - Scoring Schemes (tdpur1193m000) session. The scoring value is calculated as follows:
    Delivery date scoring value = DW * delivery difference SVAL
Quantity A scoring value is calculated based on the quantity. The quantity difference is calculated as follows:
    Quantity difference = (RFQ quantity - quotation quantity) * 100 / RFQ quantity.
ERP LN retrieves the scoring value for the quantity difference from the Criteria Set - Scoring Schemes (tdpur1193m000) session. The scoring value is calculated as follows:
    Quantity scoring value = QW * quantity difference SVAL.
Vendor Rating A scoring value is calculated based on vendor rating. ERP LN ERP LN retrieves the vendor rating percentage from the Vendor Ratings by Period (tdpur8102m000) session and the Vendor Ratings by Criterion (tdpur8102m100) session. The scoring value is calculated as follows:
    Vendor rating scoring value = VW * vendor rating percentage.
Subjective criterion A scoring value is calculated based on the RFQ criterion. ERP LN ERP LN retrieves the subjective scoring value from the Subjective Scoring Values (tdpur1193m100) session. The scoring value is linked to the RFQ in the Quotation - Subjective Criterion Scores (tdpur1195m000) session. The scoring value is calculated as follows:
    Subjective scoring value = SW * subjective criterion scoring value.
Price A scoring value is calculated based on the offered price. ERP LN retrieves the lowest price and the quotation price from the Buy-from BP - Quotations (tdpur1506m000) session. The lowest price is the lowest submitted price of all the selected buy-from business partners on a selected RFQ. The quotation price is the price of the specific buy-from business partner. The scoring value is calculated as follows:
    Price scoring value = PW * ((lowest price / quotation price) * 100)
