Creating a VAS Item
Creating a VAS item involves entering the item name, associated accounts, and the cost type for the item. You can further create item rules for the VAS item. By doing so, the VAS item will be automatically applied when the specified criteria are met, leading to an effective handling of VAS in the system.
Entering the VAS Details
When creating a VAS item, you'll begin by entering the details such as the name of the VAS item, income account, expense account, and defining the cost of the item.
VAS Details Fields
Taxable
Check this box if the item is subject to taxation.
Discountable
Check this box to enable discounts on this item.
Active
This checkbox is used to mark the item as "Active" or "Inactive". By default, the item will be marked as active.
VAS Item Name
This field allows you to enter a name for the VAS item. This acts as the unique identifier for the VAS item.
Income Account
Enter the income account for the item.
Expense Account
Enter the expense account for the item.
VAS Cost Type
Use this field to choose the cost type and input the item's cost. You have the option to choose either an absolute amount or a percentage of the item. Alternatively, you can opt for the custom cost type, and you will be guided to establish the rules for the item.
If the cost type is 'Custom', you will be prompted to add the VAS Item Rules. These rules are determined by five parameters: Country, State/Province, Item Number, Item Tags, and customer Tags. Once you establish these parameters, you can then specify the cost for the respective item.
VAS Item Rules Fields
Country
Select the country to implement the rule. So, if you are placing an order for this country, the VAS item will be applied to the item(s) added to the order.
State/Province
Select the state or province to implement the rule. So, if you are placing an order for this state or province, the VAS item will be applied to the item(s) added to the order.
Item Number
Select the item number to implement the rule. So, this item is added to the order, the VAS item will be applied to the item.
Item Tags
Select the item tags to implement the rule. So, if the item included in the order has this tag, the VAS item will be applied to it.
Customer Tags
Select the customer tags to implement the rule. So, if the customer for which the order is being placed has this tag, the VAS item will be applied to it.
VAS Cost Type
Use this field to choose the cost type and enter the cost for the item rule. You have the option to choose either an absolute amount or a percentage of the item.
After selecting the required parameters, click on "Add VAS Item Rule" to create the rule. The rule will be added to the section below.
You can establish multiple rules for a VAS item by selecting different parameter values, and the rule will be implemented based on priority.
Once the rule(s) is added, click on "Save" to create the VAS item.
All the VAS items created in the system will be listed in the VAS Item Centre.
