VAS Template Determination

Use

Value-Added Services uses the conditions technique to determine which VAS template corresponds to particular delivery or TR data. For instance, if you have defined a VAS template for a certain material and ship-to party, when a reference document item containing the material and ship-to party is checked, the system automatically creates one or more VAS orders based on the template.

Prerequisites

You have done the following:

  1. Created VAS templates. For more information, see Creating a VAS Template .

Activities

  2. The system selects one of the following, based on the determination records:

    • The VAS template, when only one template is specified

    • The highest-rated VAS template, when more than one template is specified

  3. The system repeats steps 1-2 for every document item.
