Most companies, especially those involved in manufacturing, have multiple suppliers for their products and services. When procurement processes take place at a large scale, purchase managers need to pick suppliers based on numerous criteria, including cost, quality, time and more.

A supplier scorecard is an evaluation tool in ERPNext that helps assess the performance of suppliers that work with an organisation. They can be used to keep track of the quality of items delivered, delivery, and responsiveness of suppliers across long periods. It calculates a score for each supplier based on this data and helps purchase managers make calculated decisions about which suppliers to work with.

Automating the complex process of calculating the effectiveness of each supplier based on multiple customised factors can prove to be immensely valuable and make the Supplier Scorecard in ERPNext a robust support system for decision-makers.
