Use

You can use this Business Add-In (BAdI) in the procurement process to evaluation external suppliers on the basis of previously defined criteria.

SAP provides four evaluation criteria. In addition, you can use new evaluation criteria. The interface for this external vendor evaluation is provided by the SUPPLIER_EVALUATE method.

You are still able to modify the selection of the suppliers taken for evaluation and displayed in a list (method: SUPPLIER_DETERMINE).

Requirements

Before you can create an implementation for this BAdI, you must have performed the following IMG activities:

  1. Define a new evaluation criterion in IMG activity Define Evaluation Criteria.
  2. Define weightings, priorities, and so on, for this new evaluation criterion in IMG activity Define Transaction Types for Procurement Process.

Standard settings

Activities

After you call the IMG activity, the system displays a dialog box where you enter a name for the implementation.

If implementations of this Business Add-In have already been created, the system displays them in a dialog box. You then choose one of them by choosing Create, and continue as follows:

  1. In the dialog box, enter a name for the implementation of the Add-In and choose Create.
    The system displays the initial screen for creating Business Add-In implementations.
  2. On this screen, enter a short description for your implementation in the Implementation Short Text field.
  3. If you choose the Interface tab, you will notice that the system has populated the Name of the Implementing Class field automatically, by assigning a class name based on the name of your implementation.
  4. Save your entries and assign the Add-In to a package.
  5. To edit a method, double-click its name.
  6. Enter your implementation code between the method <Interface Name>~<Name of Method>. and endmethod. statements.
  7. Save and activate your code. Navigate back to the Change Implementation screen.
    Note: You can also create an implementation for an Add-In and not activate it until later. If you want to do this, do not perform the following step:
  8. Choose Activate.
    When the application program is executed, the code you created is run through.

Example

Calls for the standard supplier evaluations provided by SAP are stored in function module ICL_SUPPLIER_EVALUATION.

Function module ICL_SUPPL_SEARCH_2 is an implementation of the BAdI for supplier selection provided by SAP.
