Lieferantenbeurteilung in Infor LN: Supplier Evaluation and Rating
lieferantenbeurteilung infor ln
Also searched as

- infor ln supplier evaluation
- infor ln supplier rating
- infor ln supplier performance
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.
Applies to: Infor LN 10.x with Purchase Control and, for quality data, Quality Management. Session names differ by release.
How to set up supplier evaluation (Lieferantenbewertung einrichten)
- 1Decide the criteria: on-time delivery (Liefertreue), quantity accuracy (Mengentreue), quality (Qualitaet), price and service.
- 2Define the weights and the scoring scale, and agree the thresholds for approved, conditional and blocked suppliers.
- 3Search the Web UI for supplier performance or supplier rating sessions in Purchase Control and set up the rating parameters.
- 4Make sure receipts are booked on time and with correct dates, because delivery performance comes from receipt versus promised date.
- 5If you use inspection, connect rejects to the supplier so quality scores come from real data.
- 6Run the evaluation for a period, review the results with purchasing and quality, then publish the report.
Begriffe: German and English terms
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
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
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.

Common 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.
How an ERP-grounded AI assistant handles this
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.
Frequently asked questions
What is Lieferantenbeurteilung in Infor LN?
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?
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?
Yes for delivery and price. For quality you need rejection data, from inspection or manual entry.
Is the rating automatic?
The data collection is, the interpretation is not. Review results with purchasing before using them for decisions.

Infor LN item sales session, item purchase session and site data: where each lives
In Infor LN the item master is split by business function. General data sits in the Items - General table (tcibd001), sales data in Item - Sales (tdisa001) and purchase data in Item - Purchase (tdipu001). Site-dependent data such as ordering and planning parameters is held per item and site, so one item can behave differently in each site.
How-toMPN in Infor LN: Manufacturer Part Numbers, Items and Suppliers
Infor LN does not treat the manufacturer part number as a single magic field. You normally hold the MPN through the item code system (alternative codes tied to your own item code) and through supplier-specific item data on the buy-from business partner, so purchase orders can print the supplier or manufacturer number while stock stays under your own item.
How-toInfor LN integration document types and integration rules with ION
In LN, an integration document type ties an LN business object to a BOD noun and direction so ION can send or receive it. Rules and mappings then decide which LN data populates the BOD, which events trigger publication and how incoming BODs are converted into LN transactions. Set up the document type first, then the mapping, then test in ION Desk.
Error fixInfor LN bshell Process Stuck at 100% CPU: How to Diagnose and Fix It
A bshell process pinned at 100% CPU on the Infor LN application server almost always means one session is stuck in a 4GL loop, scanning an unindexed table, or waiting on a database lock. End the session from the Sessions Monitor first, then kill the OS process only if that fails, and check for a blocking database transaction before assuming it is a bug.
Error fixInfor LN Not Authorized to Run This Session: How to Fix It
Infor LN refuses to open a session with a not authorized message when the logged-in user's assigned role does not include that session, or when the session is blocked for the company they are logged into. Grant the session through Common > Authorization Management > Roles, or check the user's role and company context, and the session opens on retry. In most cases this is a permissions configuration issue, not a bug.
Error fixInfor LN DAL Out of Sync After a Custom Field: Cause and Fix
Infor LN throws a DAL, or table, out of sync error, or simply drops a new custom field silently, when a table's dictionary definition is changed but the generated DAL and dependent forms are not regenerated afterward. Running the standard sequence, table compile, DAL generation, then session/form compile, in Tools > Development after every dictionary change resolves it. Skipping any one of the three steps is what causes the mismatch.
