Goods Issue Process with VAS Order 
Purpose
The goods issue process changes when used in connection with value-added services. You can perform the required VAS activities for a VAS order at special work centers in an interim step, before shipping the products to your customers. You can use this process to pack products for your customers on a customer-specific basis, for example.
In goods issue, you can also use the VAS order to assemble kits at the work centers (see Kit to Order).
Prerequisites
An outbound delivery exists, as does a valid packaging specification, meaning that the system can create a VAS order.
If you want to map automatic creation of warehouse tasks as an interim step in the system for the work centers where you are executing value-added services, you must have already configured process-oriented storage control in Customizing for value-added services (see also: Process-Oriented Storage Control).
Process
Depending on how you use storage control, the following options are available to you in the goods issue process for performing value-added services using a VAS order:
...
● You are using process-oriented storage control:
a. The system creates a VAS order based on the outbound delivery.
b. For each outbound delivery item, the system determines the corresponding packaging specification.
c. The system then creates handling unit warehouse tasks that contain a work center as the destination storage location in accordance with the VAS order. Here, each VAS activity represents a separate process step with a corresponding warehouse task. You can define as many interim steps for the products as you require. All of these interim steps are of the type VAS possible.
d. After completing all value-added services, the products reach the goods issue area.
● You have only defined the individual process steps, and are not using process-oriented storage control:
...
a. The system creates a VAS order based on the outbound delivery.
b. For each outbound delivery item, the system determines the corresponding packaging specification.
c. The system then creates product warehouse tasks that contain a work center as the destination storage location in accordance with the VAS order. Here, each VAS activity represents a separate process step with a corresponding warehouse task. You can define as many interim steps for the products as you require.
d. After completing all value-added services, the products reach the goods issue area.
● You are not using process-oriented storage control, and you have not defined any process steps:
...
a. The system creates a VAS order based on the outbound delivery.
b. For each outbound delivery item, the system determines the corresponding packaging specification.
c. You print out the VAS order and the warehouse employees undertake the VAS activities in the work centers manually.
d. As soon as the VAS activities are completed, you can enter a confirmation in the system. The products then reach the goods issue area.
● You are using the VAS order for kitting.
...
a. The system creates a VAS order with corresponding kit components based on a packaging specification for the kit header and the kit items in the outbound delivery.
You can use the VAS order at the work center provided to assemble the kit components into a kit (see Kitting at a Work Center with VAS Order).

The following figure shows you a schematic overview of the goods issue process with VAS order:
Result
The products are prepared for stock removal following your requirements.
Example
The following figure shows you how the system forms the VAS order from the outbound delivery item and its related packaging specification in the goods issue process with VAS order. In the following example, the system determines the same packaging specification for the delivery items. The system therefore creates one VAS order only. The system maps the packaging specification levels in the VAS order as VAS activities.
