MANUALS > Orders > Orders Module > Orders, Update Menu > Orders Creation/Update > Exchange Order > Exchange Order Header Buttons > Vendor Performance Button, via Exchange Order Header

Select the Vendor Performance button to view a graphical display of the Vendor Performance associated with the part on the Order.

Vendor performance is calculated based points that are awarded to the Vendor when they perform certain actions. The protocol that each organization uses for adding and subtracting points is defined in the System Transaction Code named Vendor Performance (Settings/Explorer/System Transaction Code/ Settings/Vendor Performance). The actions that are responsible for the points are also listed there.

Each action has its own definition of how points are awarded (added or subtracted). These points are summarized on a monthly basis and a graphical trend is built.

One example of an action is the length of time that it took to fulfill an Order that is placed with the Vendor (the difference between the date/time that the Order is created and the date/time that the Order is received). The system automatically subtracts points for late Orders and adds points for early/timely Orders. These computations are performed automatically within the system and a graphical display of the result can be found via the Vendor Performance button.

Once the System Transaction Code has been set up, and a history of transactions has been created, from the Orders header window choose an order then select the Vendor Performance button. The performance of the order Vendor will be displayed. This button is accessible from a number of locations such as the Quotes option and all Orders options.

Each of the peaks and valleys represents total performance of the vendor for a given month and year. By clicking on any of these points, the user will receive a Vendor Performance Order Summary which displays all of the orders for that month which were used in the calculation of the vendor performance graph as seen below:
