• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR501 - There are no evaluation views. Please set them up. ?

  SAP Error Message:
  VR501: There are no evaluation views. Please set them up.
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to perform an evaluation or analysis in SAP (commonly in the context of Vendor Evaluation or Source Evaluation), but the system cannot find any evaluation views defined for the relevant vendor or purchasing organization. Evaluation views are necessary because they determine the criteria and parameters used to evaluate vendors or sources.
  In other words, the system expects at least one evaluation view to be assigned and active for the vendor or purchasing organization, but none have been set up or assigned yet.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Evaluation Views are configurations that define which evaluation criteria (like price, quality, delivery, etc.) are used to assess vendors.
  Without these views, the system does not know how to perform the evaluation.
  This is common in modules like Vendor Evaluation (MM-PUR) or Source Evaluation.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Set up Evaluation Views:
