VAS Template 

Definition

A VAS template is a template that defines the following:

·        Work instructions

·        Process control data, such as:

¡        Execution method for VAS (work center or during transfer order execution)

¡        Template sequence

¡        Instruction control

¡        Work centers in which the VAS can be performed

·        Business partner data, including:

¡        Purchasing information record

¡        Agreement

¡        Service material

¡        Billing control

·        Subordinate work items (which are themselves VAS templates)

 

Use

VAS templates enable the same instructions and other details to be re-used for different documents/items complying with the same conditions.

When a reference document or item complies with predefined conditions, the system creates one or more VAS orders, based on the relevant VAS template (and subordinate templates) that you have assigned to these conditions.

If no reference document exists, you can manually choose a template on which to base a VAS order.

 

Structure

A VAS template comprises of the following parts:

·        Work/packing instructions – includes materials, documents and short texts, dimensions, weight and volume.

For more information, see Packing Instruction in the SAP Library for Handling Unit Management (LO-HU).

·        Template data – comprises of the Template, Business and Sub Work Items tabs.
