Overview

Purpose

BE-terna Vendor Rating helps you evaluate vendors in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in a structured, objective, and traceable way. The solution combines automatically calculated operational indicators with manual assessments from audits and self-disclosures.

Business value

• Uses existing Business Central data for quantity reliability, delivery time, complaints, and PPM values.
• Complements automatic indicators with qualitative input from audits and self-disclosures.
• Evaluates vendors with a consistent scoring model and clearly defined criteria.
• Makes results transparent for operational analysis and management decisions.
• Supports continuous improvement of purchasing and quality processes.

Functional focus

Configurable rating model

You define main criteria, subcriteria, thresholds, grading logic, and classifications to match your requirements. This allows vendor evaluation to reflect different quality and purchasing strategies.

Combined operational and manual assessments

The solution automatically processes data from purchase orders, goods receipts, and complaints. You can also capture audits and subjective assessments to include qualitative aspects in the final result.

Transparent reporting and traceability

Rating entries, rating reviews, and the vendor rating report show how each result was derived. This makes strengths, deviations, and development potential visible for each vendor.

Outcome

• Vendor evaluation follows a consistent and traceable model.
• Operational and qualitative criteria contribute to one shared result.
• Results can be reviewed internally and used as a basis for vendor discussions.
