Maintaining user defined parameter indices – An overview
In this page, you can define index or rating values for the user-defined parameters, based on which the supplier rating can be computed. You can select the supplier location, type and category of the supplier and also the user-defined parameter for which you wish to set or modify the index or rating values.
If the index value is newly defined for the user-defined parameter for the specified supplier and parameter, you can enter the index value and remarks.
