Rate in the purchase order (Contracting)

Question: What does the yellow triangle in the rate column in the purchase orders list mean?

Answer: 

The Rate column in the Purchase Orders list refers to a rating/evaluation score and the yellow triangle indicates that document has not yet been rated.

Based on the Rating Form, it appears that the system has a supplier evaluation feature enabled, allowing Purchase Orders or suppliers to be assessed according to predefined criteria, such as:

• Quality
• Delivery

Users can assign a rating from 1 to 5, and the system calculates the Total Rate.

Purpose of this functionality

This feature is typically used for:

• Evaluating supplier quality
• Monitoring delivery performance and lead times
• Selecting the best suppliers for future purchases
• Building Supplier Rating / Vendor Performance metrics

For example:

This helps identify suppliers with quality issues or delivery delays.
