Turn purchase history into defensible vendor scores
Weighted scorecards, purchase-derived metrics, an approval workflow, and proactive alerts give procurement one place to rank, compare, and act on supplier performance.
The problem
Procurement teams juggling 20+ suppliers have purchase order history sitting inside Odoo but no way to turn it into a defensible scorecard. Native tooling stops at pivot tables, so buyers fall back on fragile spreadsheets or third-party apps that bury results in scattered reports with no side-by-side comparison, visual scorecards, or proactive alerts.
The solution
Vendor Evaluation turns existing purchase history into weighted scorecards on one purpose-built dashboard. Score suppliers on configurable criteria, route evaluations through an approval workflow, compare shortlisted vendors side by side, drill into the source orders behind any score, and get notified automatically the moment a vendor slips below threshold.
Everything procurement needs to rank vendors
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Weighted Scorecards
Define what matters — price, delivery, quality, responsiveness — and their relative weight, combining every criterion into a single defensible overall score.
Visual Kanban Scorecards
See every vendor's rating badge, priority stars, overall score, and spend at a glance, with a below-threshold ribbon flagging suppliers that need attention.
Side-by-Side Comparison
Pick two or more shortlisted vendors and compare them across identical criteria on one screen — no manual re-filtering or re-grouping required.
Approval Workflow
Evaluations move from draft to submitted to approved or rejected, with full chatter tracking, so results carry organizational authority before they influence sourcing.
Purchase-Derived Metrics
Total spend, order count, and average order value are pulled automatically from each vendor's confirmed purchase orders — no manual data entry.
One-Click Drill-Down
Jump straight from a summary score to the purchase orders, prices, and history that produced it — full traceability, no digging.
Below-Threshold Alerts
The moment an approved evaluation drops below your configured score, an activity and chatter notification fire automatically — no one has to go looking.
Trend & Forecast
Track each vendor's trajectory across evaluation periods and see a directional forecast, so improvement or decline is visible before it becomes a problem.
Landed-Cost Analysis
Record freight cost alongside spend to produce a landed total, so suppliers are ranked on true delivered cost, not just sticker price.
How it works
Configure criteria
Set your weighted criteria — price, delivery, quality, responsiveness — once from Settings.
Create an evaluation
Pick a vendor and period; purchase metrics pull in automatically from confirmed orders.
Score & submit
Score each criterion, add freight cost for landed-cost accuracy, then submit for approval.
Approve, compare & track
A manager approves, then you compare vendors side by side, drill into orders, print the scorecard, and get alerted if a score slips.
