• Key Concepts: 
  Scoring method is a tool used in the Purchasing component of SAP MM (Materials Management). It is used to evaluate and compare different vendors based on their performance. The scoring method assigns a numerical score to each vendor based on criteria such as quality, delivery time, and price. The higher the score, the better the vendor. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the scoring method, first define the criteria that will be used to evaluate vendors. This can include factors such as quality, delivery time, and price. Then assign a numerical score to each criterion. For example, quality could be scored from 1-5, with 5 being the highest score. Once all criteria have been assigned a score, vendors can be evaluated and compared based on their total score. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the scoring method, it is important to consider all relevant criteria for evaluating vendors. This will ensure that vendors are evaluated fairly and accurately. Additionally, it is important to review and update the scoring method periodically to ensure that it is still relevant and accurate.
