• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_MSG_CL_VAS118 - Item &1 of purchase order &2 is marked as return item. No redetermination ?

  The SAP error message FSH_MSG_CL_VAS118 indicates that an item in a purchase order is marked as a return item, which prevents the system from redetermining the value-added services (VAS) for that item. This typically occurs in the context of handling returns or when processing value-added services in logistics.
  Cause:
  
  Return Item Status: The item in question is flagged as a return item in the purchase order. This status indicates that the item is not intended for normal processing, which includes redetermining VAS.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to prevent redetermination of VAS for items that are marked as returns.
  Business Process: The business process may dictate that return items should not have VAS applied, as they are not part of the normal sales flow.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Item Status: Review the purchase order and check the status of the item. If it is indeed a return item and this is correct, then no action is needed. If it should not be a return item, you may need to change its status.
  Adjust Configuration: If the business process allows for VAS on return items, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in SAP to permit redetermination for these items.
  Consult Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the implications of changing item statuses or configuration settings.
  Manual Processing: If the item must remain a return item, consider processing the VAS manually or through a different transaction that accommodates return items.
  
  Related Information:

  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to make changes to purchase orders and related items.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP logistics and procurement processes.
