• Key Concepts: 
  Overall score is a feature in the SAP MM-PUR Purchasing component that allows users to assign a numerical value to a vendor or supplier. This score is based on criteria such as quality, delivery, and price. The overall score is used to determine which vendor or supplier should be used for a particular purchase. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the overall score feature, users must first define the criteria that will be used to evaluate vendors and suppliers. This can include factors such as quality, delivery, and price. Once the criteria have been defined, users can assign numerical values to each vendor or supplier based on their performance in each category. The overall score is then calculated by adding up the numerical values for each category. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning numerical values to vendors and suppliers, it is important to consider the relative importance of each criterion. For example, if quality is more important than delivery, then the numerical value assigned to quality should be higher than the value assigned to delivery. This will ensure that the overall score accurately reflects the relative importance of each criterion.
