• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR206 - Enter an evaluation ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR206 - Enter an evaluation
  
  Cause:
  The error message VR206 - Enter an evaluation typically occurs in the context of SAP Vendor Evaluation or Source Determination processes. It indicates that the system expects an evaluation or a selection criterion to be entered, but none has been provided.
  This usually happens when:
  
  You are trying to execute a vendor evaluation or source determination without specifying the required evaluation criteria.
  The evaluation key or evaluation method is missing or not maintained in the transaction.
  The system requires an evaluation variant or evaluation key to proceed, but it has not been entered.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During vendor evaluation (transaction ME61, ME6B, or related).
  When running source determination or vendor selection processes.
  When setting up or executing evaluation steps in purchasing or vendor management.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the required evaluation criteria:
  
  Check the transaction or screen where the error occurs.
  Make sure you have entered the evaluation key or evaluation variant.
  For example, in vendor evaluation, you need to specify the evaluation method or evaluation variant that defines how vendors are scored.
  
  
  
  Maintain evaluation keys or variants:
  
  Use transaction ME61 (Maintain Vendor Evaluation) or ME6B (Display Vendor Evaluation) to check if the evaluation keys or variants are properly maintained.
  If missing, create or assign the appropriate evaluation keys.
  
  
  
  Check configuration:
  
  In customizing (SPRO), verify the vendor evaluation settings under:
  Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Vendor Evaluation -> Define Evaluation Criteria
  Ensure that evaluation criteria and keys are properly configured.
  
  
  
  Consult documentation or SAP Notes:
  
  If the problem persists, check SAP Notes or documentation related to vendor evaluation for your SAP version.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Vendor Evaluation is a tool in SAP MM to assess and rate vendors based on various criteria such as price, quality, delivery, etc.
  The evaluation key or variant defines the criteria and weighting used in the evaluation.
  Without specifying an evaluation, the system cannot proceed with scoring or selecting vendors, hence the error.
