Basic Scoring Example

The appendix illustrates scoring using basic scoring and advance preference scoring.

This diagram shows basic scoring setup where the system assigns a score based upon:

  • Order Type = SO

  • Line Type = S

  • Customer Priority ranges from 90 to 500.

Basic Score setup

The system searches for a match of the criteria and assigns the score accordingly. For example, if today's date is October 1st and you enter a sales order today and the requested date is October 3rd, the requested date age is 2. The system retrieves the information from the line where the requested date age range begins at 999- and retrieves an order score of 160 because 2 is greater than or equal to -999 but less than 5 (Example 1). If the requested date is October 7th, then the requested date age is 6 and the system retrieves the line where the requested date age range begins at 5 because 6 is greater than or equal to 5 and less than 10. Hence, the system retrieves an order score of 85 (Example 2). If the customer priority is 250 and the requested date is October 31st, then the requested date age is 30. The system retrieves the line where the customer priority range begins at 100 and the requested date range begins at 10. The system chooses this line because the customer priority (250) is greater than or equal to 100 but less than 500 and the requested date age (30) is greater than or equal to 10 but less than 40. Therefore, the system retrieves an order score of 55 (Example 3).
