# 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.

To create a VAS Item, go to **Menu > Admin > Item > VAS Item**

### 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

<table><thead><tr><th width="178">Field</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Taxable</td><td>Check this box if the item is subject to taxation.</td></tr><tr><td>Discountable</td><td>Check this box to enable discounts on this item.</td></tr><tr><td>Active</td><td>This checkbox is used to mark the item as "Active" or "Inactive". By default, the item will be marked as active. </td></tr><tr><td>VAS Item Name</td><td>This field allows you to enter a name for the VAS item. This acts as the unique identifier for the VAS item.</td></tr><tr><td>Income Account</td><td>Enter the income account for the item.</td></tr><tr><td>Expense Account</td><td>Enter the expense account for the item. </td></tr><tr><td>VAS Cost Type</td><td>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.</td></tr></tbody></table>

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

<table><thead><tr><th width="162">Field</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Country</td><td>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.</td></tr><tr><td>State/Province</td><td>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.</td></tr><tr><td>Item Number</td><td>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.</td></tr><tr><td>Item Tags</td><td>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.</td></tr><tr><td>Customer Tags</td><td>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.</td></tr><tr><td>VAS Cost Type</td><td>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. </td></tr></tbody></table>

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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xorosoft.com/xoroerp-1/admin/item/vas-item/creating-a-vas-item.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
