Road Map: Vendor Performance Inquiry

Use the Vendor Performance Inquiry (VVI) program to display a vendor's performance based on cost, delivery, and product quality by vendor number. See Background for more information.

Before you run this program each time

You should run these programs in this sequence:  

  1. PO Maintenance (VOE) to enter purchase orders.

OR

Requisition Maintenance (IRM) to enter requisitions and release them to create purchase orders.

OR

Order Release Selection (MRR) to release purchase requisitions that were created by the planning system.

  1. Receiver Maintenance (IRC) to receive a purchase order.

    AND conditionally

    Receiving and Inspection (IRI) to enter inspection results if items require inspection or to receive if you are using dock-to-stock receiving.

  2. AP Invoice (NE) to enter invoices and print the AP Invoice Register.

You may also have run these programs that affect Quality:

  1. (Optional) Rejected Material Disposition (MRB) to select the disposition of items rejected during inspection.

  2. (Conditional) Rejected Material Disposition Register (VBJ) to print a list of rejected and disposed materials and update the general ledger if you have inventory interfaced to the GL.

Before you run this program the first time

You should run these programs:

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Accounts Payable Options) to set the AP/Purchasing variance % and AP interfaced to purchasing? options.

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Enterprise Options) to select a date display format for your enterprise, Branch Maintenance (TBM) to select a date display format for your branch, or User Maintenance (UIM) to select a date display format for an individual user.

  • Branch Maintenance (TBM) to set up branches.

  • Branch Groups Maintenance (TGM) to set up branch groups.

  • Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) to set up inventory items for your enterprise.

  • Branch Item Maintenance (IMB) to set up inventory items for your branch.

  • Vendor Maintenance (VM) to set up vendors.

  • Vendor Price Maintenance (VMM) to set up vendor-item prices.

  • Output Device Maintenance (XDM) to set up the output devices that you plan to use.

  • Date-Output Device Maintenance (ZE) to select your default output device and set whether you can override that device.
