How Assessments Are Evaluated

Once you have evaluated and finalized all the qualifications, you can evaluate the assessment.

Assessments Evaluation

You can begin evaluating an assessment, by clicking the Assessments option in the Ready for Evaluation infolet. On the Manage Assessments page, you can view and evaluate the assessments. On the Evaluate Assessment page, you have the same options as on the Evaluate Qualification page. Note when you're entering the start and end dates for the assessment, they must cover the total time spans for all its qualifications. Also, it can't overlap any other assessment for the supplier or site in the same Procurement Business Unit.

Automatic Assessments Evaluation

As soon as you accept the supplier's responses, the assessment status changes to ready for evaluation. At this point, the application uses the scoring information defined to the questions to assign scores for any automatically scored questions in any automatically scored qualification areas contained in the qualification model. If you have any manually scored questions, you can also enter scores now. The application constantly maintains the overall score of the assessment as the sum of scores assigned to individual qualification areas. The assessment outcome is derived based on this overall score.

If knockout criterion for one or more questions is applicable, the assessment outcome will be set to the knockout outcome. The assessment score will be automatically set to the lowest score mapped to the knockout outcome.

You can override the assessment outcome by adjusting the assessment score manually. In this case, the application also keeps track of who performed the override, when was the override done and the reason for the override. You can also override the knockout criteria. Once the assessment is finalized, the assessment score outcome are fixed and can no longer be updated.

If the qualification model that was used to create this assessment allows sharing of evaluation decisions, this assessment is automatically shared with suppliers. You can overwrite the sharing decision here.

For assessments used to evaluate the supplier's eligibility to participate in sourcing, the supplier's sourcing eligibility is automatically determined from the assessment outcome. The supplier's sourcing eligibility in the procurement BU is recorded when the assessment is finalized.
