Use

In this Customizing activity you create rating procedures and assign ratings.

You can rate business partners by different means, such as their credit standing and payment history, or according to other criteria. Ratings can be carried out according to your own rules, as well as through specialist service providers, such as Standard & Poors or Schufa. Several rating procedures are offered as standard. You can define others according to your requirements. You can set one of the rating procedures as the standard procedure, and indicate rating procedures as internal.

The rating procedures control various functions:

  • You can implement special rating rules for each rating procedure.
  • You can assign all rating procedures to a business partner role.
  • Rating procedures are time-dependent in business terms.
  • You can also create rating procedures that are differentiated.
  • Different values can be given to the results of a particular rating procedure (ratings). You can set these values separately for each rating procedure.

Requirements

You have determined the rating procedures and ratings that are used by your customer and implemented the BAdI: Calculate Rating if necessary to store your own rating rules and regulations.

Standard settings

You can use all namespaces except for "SAP*" to set up rating procedures and ratings. This namespace is reserved for SAP.

Activities

  1. To define a rating procedure, choose New Entries.
  2. Enter the name of the rating procedure. The name can have a maximum length of 10 characters.
  3. You can also enter a more detailed description of the rating procedure. The description can be up to 60 characters in length.
  4. You control whether the rating procedure can be used within differentiation.
  5. If the rating procedure is only to be valid for a specific business partner role, select this role.
  6. If you set the required entry indicator, you control that a rating must be created for the rating procedure you have entered when you process the business partner.
  7. The function for storing a function module to define special rating rules in the rating procedure is obsolete.

Note

We recommend that you implement BAdI: Calculate Rating instead of storing the function module. This BAdI is SAP's future solution for calculating ratings.

  1. If you want to further classify the rating procedure, select the term for the rating procedure.
  2. Set the indicator if the rating procedure is accepted within the supervisory framework.
  3. If you want to create an internal rating procedure, set the Internal indicator.
  4. If you set the Calculated indicator, you do not need to enter any values in the Ratings view. This means that activities 13 # 19 listed below are not required.
  5. Save your entries.

For every rating procedure you create, you also need to enter the corresponding ratings:

  1. To define a ratings, choose New Entries.
  2. Enter the procedure for which you wish to create ratings.
  3. Enter the corresponding ratings.
  4. Arrange your ratings in a ranking. Amongst other things, this ranking enables you to compare different rating procedures.
  5. You can enter an additional short description for the rating. The description can be up to 20 characters in length.
  6. You can enter a more detailed description for the rating. This description can be up to 60 characters in length.
  7. Save your entries.

Example

To set up a customer-specific rating procedure called Rating1: You have gathered detailed information on the structure of the procedure.

Create the rating procedure Rating1 with all the necessary settings.

Define your ratings: + for very good credit standing , / for average credit standing and - for poor credit standing and determine the ranking + = 1, / = 2, - = 3 .
