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.

       2.      Defined conditions for VAS template determination in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Warehouse Management → Value-Added Services → VAS Template Determination. This involves defining the following:

¡        A key or combination of fields on which VAS templates will be determined

¡        Access sequences

¡        Determination types and determination type-access sequence assignments

¡        Determination procedures

¡        Number ranges for VAS template determination records

For more information, see Defining Conditions for VAS Template Determination.

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

 

Activities

...

       1.      The system takes one document item and runs it through the determination conditions.

       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.
