Trending Summary Vendor Scorecard Information

After you build the vendor scorecard file, you can inquire and view a vendor's high level scorecard in graph form, which establishes a visual trend for the vendor's performance.  If you prefer to view a scorecard data with individual purchase order detail, or a scorecard with data for more than one vendor, see Running the Vendor Scorecard File Report.

For information about the metrics that display for each vendor, see the What the Inquiry Shows.

Note: If you want to evaluate inventory metrics using a different cost basis, number of overstock days, or stagnant inventory days, you need to purge and rebuild the vendor scorecard file.

To trend the summary vendor scorecard information:

  1. From the Reports > End of Month Reports > Vendor Scorecard menu, select Vendor Scorecard Inquiry to display the Vendor Scorecard Inquiry window.

  2. Complete the selection fields to gather data about the vendor's performance.

  3. Click the graph icon next to the metric you want to display in graph format.

The system displays the graph in a separate window. Use the data selection options, which are the same options used in the Vendor Scorecard Inquiry, at the top of the window display different information in the graph.
