• Key Concepts: 
  VAS material is a type of material in the SAP system used in the Sales and Distribution (SD) component of the IS-AFS module. It stands for Value Added Service material and is used to represent services that are provided in addition to the sale of goods. These services can include installation, maintenance, repair, or other services that are not directly related to the sale of goods. 
  
  How to use it: 
  VAS materials are created in the SAP system using the same process as any other material. The only difference is that when creating a VAS material, you must select the “Value Added Service” checkbox in the material master data. Once created, VAS materials can be used in sales orders and delivery documents just like any other material. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a VAS material, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included in the material master data. This includes pricing information, service descriptions, and any other relevant information that will help customers understand what services are being provided.
