Purpose

VAS orders with reference to an inbound or outbound document are created when you create a delivery or transfer requirement (TR) that fulfils conditions in a previously created determination record.

You can also create VAS orders without reference. For more information, see Creating a VAS Order Without Reference .

Prerequisites

You have done the following:

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

Defined conditions for VAS template determination in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Warehouse Management → Value-Added Services → VAS Template Determination . For more information, see Defining Conditions for VAS Template Determination .

Created determination records, which establishes links between conditions and VAS templates. For more information, see Creating Determination Records .

Process Flow

You create a delivery or TR.

If the document has already been checked for VAS, the system updates all of the document’s VAS orders, if necessary, provided that the VAS orders are of statusA

If the document has not already been checked for VAS, the system creates VAS orders based on the appropriate templates, with the work center of each order being based on the work center priorities specified in the corresponding VAS template (except in the case of supplementary VAS orders, where no work center is determined).

a. If each document /item corresponds to a different header VAS template, the system creates per document item one of the following, depending on whether you set one or both of the Header Template Work Center and Sep.Conf.for Subordinate Items indicators when creating the header VAS template:

One VAS order to be performed in the header template’s work center

VAS orders for the header, as well as subordinate templates, to be executed in the header template’s work center

VAS orders for the header, as well as subordinate templates, to be executed in the templates’ respective work centers

For more information, see Creating a VAS Template .

b. If the same header template applies to more than one document item, the system creates one header VAS order for all of these document items. Subordinate templates may also be created, as described in a. above.
