Value-Added Services (VAS)
You can use a value-added service order (VAS order) to perform value-added services (VAS) in the warehouse through VAS activities, and to document them. Typical VAS activities are assembling products, packing products, labeling, or kitting. Here, both the goods receipt process and the goods issue process in the warehouse change. In an ideal case, you can then use process-oriented storage control to execute interim steps before final putaway or before staging in the goods issue area. In these interim steps, the VAS order defines which product processing must be performed by warehouse employees in the work centers, for example. You can also use a VAS order in the goods issue process to assemble kits for your customers, and to pack them on a customer-specific basis using this VAS order.
You have made the following settings in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM)

Value-added services are integrated into EWM and the delivery.
You have created an inbound or outbound delivery, and a valid packaging specification that you can assign to the VAS order also exists.
You can use the VAS order to perform the following functions:
Value-added services in the goods receipt process (see Goods Receipt Process with VAS Order)
Value-added services in the goods issue process (see Goods Issue Process with VAS Order)
Kitting as a VAS in goods issue (see Kitting at a Work Center with a VAS Order)
Create VAS order automatically (see Autom. Generation of a VAS Order for the Warehouse Request Item)
Create VAS order manually (see Create and Edit VAS Orders
Process VAS orders (see Processing a VAS Order)
