You can generate
value-added service orders
(VAS orders) automatically or manually in
Extended Warehouse Management
(
EWM
), to document and monitor these value-added services.
VAS orders that are generated for a kit header item have a special structure.
You have made the required settings in Customizing for generating VAS orders automatically or manually. If you want to create a VAS order for kit items in the delivery, make the settings for the item type of the kit header only. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for
Extended Warehouse Management
under
.
An outbound delivery with kit items exists in EWM.
You have defined a
packaging specification
with a level of type
Kitting
. Note that a packaging specification (and therefore a VAS order) can only have one level of the type
Kitting
.
You receive an outbound delivery with kit items from the ERP system.
EWM checks whether it is to generate a VAS order for the kit header item automatically, and generates it where appropriate.
EWM
saves the number of the VAS order as a document flow for all kit items of the warehouse request.
If you have activated the
VAS Order
status in the status profile of the item type for the warehouse request item, EWM sets the
VAS Order
status of the kit items to one of the following entries:
Generated
If you have defined in Customizing that EWM is to generate the VAS order automatically.
Not Relevant
If you have defined in Customizing that EWM is not to generate the VAS order automatically.
You receive an outbound delivery with kit items from the ERP system.
You create a VAS order for the kit header item manually (see also: Create and Edit VAS Orders ).
EWM creates the VAS order. When you save the VAS order, EWM saves the number of the VAS order as a document flow for all kit items of the warehouse request.
If you have activated the
VAS Order
status in the status profile of the item type for the warehouse request item, EWM sets the
VAS Order
status of the kit items to
Generated
.
The system has created a VAS order for the kit header. You can use this VAS order for confirming services in the process Kitting at a Work Center with a VAS Order .
When you edit the VAS order,
EWM
changes the
VAS Order
status of the warehouse request item
(see also:
Updating the Warehouse Request Using the VAS Order
).
The VAS order for the kit header has the following special features. For example, you have defined a packaging specification with the levels
Oiling
,
Kitting
, and
Packing
. The VAS order for the kit header has the following special features:
All activities prior to the kitting activity (such as oiling) and the kitting activity itself have kit component items of the delivery as their items. This is based on the assumption that you perform all activities prior to assembling the kits and the kitting activity itself in the kit components.
All activities after the kitting activity (such as packing) have the kit header item as their item. This is based on the assumption that you perform all activities after assembling the kits in the kit itself.
