The ACBUY Automated Scoring Solution

The ACBUY Spreadsheet TemplateVendor Performance Score. By assigning configurable weights to key metrics, it generates a clear, actionable score for each vendor.

Core Metrics & Automated Weighting

The system automatically calculates scores based on two critical data points:

  • QC Pass Rate (%):
  • Refund/Issue Rate (%):

You assign the weighted importance

How the Automated Calculation Works

The formula builds a composite score, rewarding high performance and penalizing poor results.

Performance Score = (QC_Pass_Rate * QC_Weight) + ((100 - Refund_Rate) * Refund_Weight)

Example: A vendor with a 95% QC Pass Rate and a 2% Refund Rate, using 70/30 weighting, scores: (95 * 0.7) + (98 * 0.3) = 95.9
