Questions from the webinar

	Do I have to have all my suppliers defined for Supplier Performance to work?
No, typically you would start with most important suppliers/vendors and part numbers and then build the process to include more and more of your suppliers. Some suppliers will never fit into a Performance Measurement Process.
	What are the most important measurements for the 5.15 – Supplier Performance Module?
In the 5.15.24 – Supplier Performance Control module, the following elements would probably be the most important to measure and control: Acceptable Days Early/Late Acceptable Over/Under Shipment Quantities Percentage and Qty Which Orders to include PO/DO/Transfer/Returns Whatever you choose to measure and track, make sure that you and your supplier completely understand the parameters of measurement.
	For ASN timelines, a violation is reported if the ASN is submitted before the shipment is made. I know this is a standard automotive practice but can this type of violation be turned off in QAD?
Yes, you can turn this off in QAD.
