User-assisted data collection can happen in five areas:

When material is returned, a pop-up window lets you enter a performance event. This pop-up appears only if Supplier Performance is activated in Supplier Performance Control (5.15.24) and Enable PO Returns is Yes.

The vendor and order information defaults to the pop-up but cannot be changed. The Category, Event, Quantity, and Reason fields can be updated. Recording of the event is optional. The pop-up is intended to capture information regarding material quality. To continue without entering an event, click Next.

To correct an incorrectly entered receipt that creates a performance event, reverse the entire receipt. Reversing the entire receipt also removes all other performance events associated with that receipt. If you do not reverse the entire receipt, then you must remove any performance events manually. To remove a performance event manually, use Performance Data Maintenance (5.15.13).

The Supplier Performance Data pop-up lets you capture data when using any of the three inventory transfer programs:

This pop-up appears only if Supplier Performance is activated in Supplier Performance Control, Enable Inv Transfer is Yes, and the inventory is being moved from the inspection location:

You can use the pop-up to create a performance event. The pop-up screen works similarly in the three inventory transactions. Because the inventory transactions are generic and not PO/DO related, you must enter the supplier, order, and receiver numbers manually.

See Configuring Control Program Settings.

When performance data is generated for any registration, that data is saved for future reporting. The data is identified by a system-generated transaction ID.

Use Performance Data Maintenance (5.15.13) to access, add, and modify details of the captured performance data. Use this program to manually create performance data.

The system-generated transaction ID identifies specific events associated with the corresponding registrations and the particular performance details.You can use this program to search for specific performance records. Each time this program is accessed, the first screen appears without data. Enter the transaction ID, or browse existing IDs using the up and down arrows. Pertinent performance data is also displayed.

Modify captured performance data by adding performance weight factors or updating other fields.

You can manually create new performance data—for example, add a note about performance that is not captured by the system, such as bad telephone service or lack of professionalism.

Use Missed Shipment Event Generator (5.15.17) prior to generating performance reports. This program updates performance data with the most current results. It evaluates open POs, DOs, and scheduled orders, then creates missed shipment events for any orders not fully reconciled by the missed shipment as of date indicated.

Indicate the type of orders evaluated by specifying defaults in the control program or making changes in this program. Missed shipment events are created for valid registrations only.
