To run this report, the Calculate Vendor Rating batch job must have already been processed (see Calculate Vendor Rating Batch Job).
Choose the Preview button to start the total rating calculation and view the Vendor Rating report.
The report calculates a respective result with an according score for the hard and the soft rating criteria. These two results are combined to an overall result based on the vendor-specific weighting (Vendor Rating FastTab on the Vendor Card). If no weighting has been specified for the vendor, the default weighting will be applied (see Weighting). Thus, a vendor-specific rating / weighting can be established without maintaining all vendors.
The hard rating criteria are consolidated and displayed per item. If using the Weighted Average option, then the specified weights are shown in the score headings (Appointed Time Score, Quality Score, Quantity Score, and Return Score). For example, if Appointed Time Score had a weighted value of .75, Quality Score had a weighted value of 1.00, the others had a weighted value of .50, then the headings would be shown as "Appointed Time Score x 0.75", "Quality Score x 1.00", "Quantity Score x 0.50", and "Return Score x 0.50".
In regards to the soft rating criteria, COSMO Vendor Rating determines valid data records for each type of soft criteria (audit, visit report, self-assessment) that are assigned to the vendor and is based on the validity date and weight of the criteria. For example, the period specified in the batch job is January–March and one of the soft criterion is valid starting in April; therefore, the criterion in April is not considered in this rating calculation. The weight of the criteria determines the importance of the soft criteria and therefore can increase or decrease a rating if the criteria within the period holds a greater/lesser weight than others.

This batch job will automatically process a re-classification of the vendor. The current classification is displayed in the New Categorization field on the Rating History page and the Categorization field on the Vendor Rating FastTab of the Vendor Card.
If the Vendor Rating report is run multiple times on the same day, only one entry will be displayed for that date with the most recent rating information in the Rating History page.
