## Short answer

Die Lieferantenbeurteilung in Infor LN (supplier evaluation) bewertet Lieferanten anhand von Liefertreue, Qualitaet und Preis. In LN you define the criteria and weights, let the system collect delivery and quality data from receipts and inspections, and report the scores per buy-from business partner. Exact sessions depend on the release and installed modules.

## Steps

### How to set up supplier evaluation (Lieferantenbewertung einrichten)

**Items:**

- Decide the criteria: on-time delivery (Liefertreue), quantity accuracy (Mengentreue), quality (Qualitaet), price and service.
- Define the weights and the scoring scale, and agree the thresholds for approved, conditional and blocked suppliers.
- Search the Web UI for supplier performance or supplier rating sessions in Purchase Control and set up the rating parameters.
- Make sure receipts are booked on time and with correct dates, because delivery performance comes from receipt versus promised date.
- If you use inspection, connect rejects to the supplier so quality scores come from real data.
- Run the evaluation for a period, review the results with purchasing and quality, then publish the report.

### Begriffe: German and English terms

**Body:**

Lieferantenbeurteilung and Lieferantenbewertung both mean supplier evaluation or rating. Lieferant is supplier, Liefertreue is on-time delivery performance, Reklamation is a complaint or rejection and Wareneingang is goods receipt. In LN the supplier is the buy-from business partner.

If your users work in German, check that the LN language pack supplies the menu and session texts, otherwise users see English labels with German documents.

### Where the data comes from

**Body:**

A rating is only as good as its source data. Delivery scores depend on the promised date on the order line and the actual receipt date. If buyers overwrite promised dates to hide lateness, or receipts are booked days after arrival, the score misleads.

Quality scores come from inspection results and rejection records. Without them the quality criterion stays empty, so agree who feeds it before the first run.

### Reporting and action

**Body:**

Use the rating in supplier reviews and for sourcing decisions, not just as a number on a report. Set clear consequences: a corrective action request below a threshold, a conditional status, review of preferred supplier lists. Track trends over several periods, because a single period is noisy.

## Pitfalls

- Rating on delivery dates that buyers keep moving.
- Leaving the quality criterion empty and calling it a full rating.
- Ranking suppliers with very few orders as if the sample were reliable.
- Treating the score as the decision rather than an input.

## Ai Angle

A grounded assistant can answer in German or English which suppliers were late over the last six months and what share of lines was rejected, citing the receipts behind it. It reads ERP data; the decision on supplier status stays with purchasing and quality.

## Faq

### What is Lieferantenbeurteilung in Infor LN?

**Answer:** It is the supplier evaluation: a structured rating of buy-from business partners based on delivery, quality and price data held in LN.

### Where does LN take delivery performance from?

**Answer:** From the comparison of promised or planned dates and actual receipt dates on order lines. Accurate dates are the prerequisite.

### Can I rate suppliers without Quality Management?

**Answer:** Yes for delivery and price. For quality you need rejection data, from inspection or manual entry.

### Is the rating automatic?

**Answer:** The data collection is, the interpretation is not. Review results with purchasing before using them for decisions.
