a scorecard is NOT a collection of KPIs as suggested here but rather threasholds defined regarding the KPIs.

If for example. I have a KPI of the number of products sold by a vendor over a month. A scorecard can be defined as 100 products sold and so if this KPI for the last month is 90 then the related scorecard will indicate a negaive alerts (e.g. red icon).
