Common Elements Used to Understand Supplier Scoring for PeopleSoft Services Procurement

Field or Control	Description
Performance Level Codes	Determines various levels at which suppliers perform. Use the Performance Level Codes page to create specific performance codes to help evaluate suppliers' performance. Each performance code has four levels that are used to determine a range for evaluation. For example, you might create the performance level code RESPONSE_TIME to determine the average response time of suppliers. Or, you might create performance level CAND_SUB_PER_REQ to determine the average number of candidates that suppliers submit per requisition. The performance range for the CAND_SUB_PER_REQ level code might include the following levels: Level One = 2, Level Two = 4, Level Three = 6, and Level Four = 8, to represent the number of candidates that are submitted per requisition. Note: Reverse performance levels as needed. The combined level amount can equal more than 100 percent.
Supplier Scoring Rules	User-defined rule that calculates supplier performance metrics, level codes, weight, and performance-level ranges.
Supplier Performance Element	Essential performance factors (such as total candidates submitted, total positions filled, or total work orders rejected).
Supplier Performance Metrics	Measurement of supplier performance based on specific predefined elements.
Services Supplier Score	Overall supplier score. Note: This score is the supplier total weight (or score) divided by the total weight of the supplier rule.
