VE_IV_RULES
Use
You can specify evaluation rules for price and quantity variances and variances in the case of credit memos and subsequent-credit documents (automatic criteria PR_I, ME_I, and BE_I). The evaluation results at item level for the quantity or price variance are read out by the system with the aid of the scoring method 'E' or 'F' of vendor evaluation. The evaluation results for variances in the case of credit memos and subsequent credit documents represent additional, redundant information because, as a rule, the creation of credit memos is a consequence of variances in the invoice document and the variance is thus already evaluated via the first two criteria. However, you can use this additional information for SRM Vendor Evaluation (see also Note 4).
Note 1: You must maintain the evaluation rules for invoice documents separately because they must be maintainable per company code. In contrast, you can maintain the points scores for the other automatic criteria in vendor evaluation per purchasing organization.
Note 2: For the scoring methods 'E' and 'F', you can only use the evaluation results at item level. This is because vendor evaluation is performed per purchasing organization and a purchasing organization is only uniquely assigned to a document item.
Note 3: Evaluation records for all criteria at item level (ME_I, PR_I, BE_I, MEOW, MEVE, PROW, and PRVE) can be extracted to the SRM Vendor Evaluation content of SAP BW via the DataSource 0SR_VE_INT_IV supplied in the BI content. The evaluation records for the criteria MEOW, MEVE, PROW, and PRVE show whether a quantity or price error (identifiers ME and PR) due to your own logistics or to the vendor (identifier OW = "own" and VE = "vendor") is involved. You need not maintain any additional evaluation rules for this because the already calculated scores for the criteria ME_I and PR_I are assigned to the corresponding criteria by the system depending on the type of error. The system assigns the maximum points score to the complementary criterion.
Note 4: Because SRM Vendor Evaluation is more flexible, evaluation records are also generated at header level (automatic criteria PR_H, ME_H, and BE_H). You must extract evaluation records for the specified criteria to the SRM Vendor Evaluation content of SAP BW by setting up a generic extractor, for example.
If you also want to extract invoice document data for the evaluation records, use the DataSource 2LIS_06_INV, whose extraction structure you can enhance accordingly (LO cockpit, BAdI) and which contains all fields of the standard at header and item level and other subordinate levels. This approach helps to ensure data consistency in BW because an extracted evaluation result cannot point to a non-existent invoice document. In addition, it is better for performance to extract evaluation results and document data at the same time.
Requirements
The evaluation of documents from Invoice Verification must be activated so that the system takes the evaluation rules into account.
