• Key Concepts: 
  Matching score is a feature of SAP PLM-INM Innovation Management that allows users to compare and evaluate ideas. It is a numerical value assigned to each idea based on its relevance to the criteria set by the user. The higher the score, the more relevant the idea is to the criteria. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use matching score, users must first set criteria for their ideas. This can include factors such as cost, complexity, and potential impact. Once criteria are set, users can assign a numerical value to each idea based on how well it meets the criteria. The higher the score, the more relevant the idea is to the criteria. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning matching scores, it is important to be consistent and objective. It is also important to consider all aspects of an idea when assigning a score, not just one or two factors. Additionally, it can be helpful to use a scale of 1-10 or 1-100 when assigning scores for easier comparison between ideas.
