Enhancements for value-added services (release 2508)
In the context of Value-added services, it is often necessary to associate additional costs with

are defined as VAS Charge Codes, which are configured centrally and applied at the item
level in Purchase Orders and Sales Orders.

follow-on documents, such as billing or invoice, ensuring consistency through the process
chain.

• Increases revenue through premium pricing, as customers are often willing to pay more for
personalized services.

requested.
