Example: Packing and Labeling  

You want to create templates for VAS orders involving the packing of one bike into a box and then the box being labeled. The bikes are to be packed into the boxes in work center PACK01, while the labeling is to be performed in work center LABEL01.

In order to accomplish this, you could do the following:

...

       1.      Define work centers PACK01 and LABEL01 in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Warehouse Management → Value-Added Services → General VAS Settings → Define VAS Work Centers. Ensure that PACK01 has a lower WCSequence number than LABEL01.

       2.      Create subordinate template Pack bike in box.

                            a.      Enter the following values in the Component tab of the Packing Instruction screen:

 

Item	Item category	Component	Target quantity
10	P	BOX	1
20	M	BIKE	1
30	T

 

                            b.      Enter text „ Pack bike into box and make sure box is firmly taped.“

                            c.      Save the changes.

                            d.      Fill the fields in the Template tab of the Change VAS Template screen as follows:

 

Field	Value
Execution Method	WCNTR
Template Sequence	1
Instruction Control	A
Header Template Work Center
Sep.Conf.for Subordinate Items

 

                            e.      Assign work center PACK01 to the template.

       3.      Create header template Label box.

                            a.      Enter the following values in the Component tab of the Packing Instruction screen:

 

Item	Item category	Component	Target quantity
10	P	BOX	1
20	M	BIKE	1
30	T

 

                            b.      Enter text „ Label the box as follows:

Part no: ________“

                            c.      Save the changes.

                            d.      Fill the fields in the Template tab of the Change VAS Template screen as follows:

 

Field	Value
Execution Method	WCNTR
Template Sequence	1
Instruction Control	B
Header Template Work Center
Sep.Conf.for Subordinate Items

 

                            e.      Assign work center LABEL01 to the template.

       4.      Assign template Pack bike in box as a subordinate work item of template Label box.

       5.      Create a determination record in which you link the template Label box to a condition record (in which material = BIKE).

 

Upon creation of a document that meets the conditions, the following VAS orders are created:

                            a.      VAS order based on the template Pack bike in box, to be performed in work center PACK01

                            b.      VAS order based on the template Label box, to be performed in work center LABEL01

After the VAS order involving the packing of bikes into boxes is executed and confirmed by a worker in work center PACK01, the boxes must be moved to work center LABEL01, where the VAS order involving labeling is executed and confirmed by a worker.
