Consider a measurable space \((\Omega,\Sigma)\), a Banach lattice \(E\), and a vector measure \(\mu:\Sigma\to E\). Several conditions on \(\mu\) and \(E\) are known under which the modulus \(|\mu|:= \mu\vee (-\mu)\) of \(\mu\) exists; see e.g. \textit{K. D. Schmidt} [``Jordan decompositions of generalized vector measures'', New York (1989; Zbl 0692.28004)]. In the present paper, the authors study the existence of \(|\mu|\) in the case \(\mu= \int f d\nu\), where \(f:\Omega\to E\) is a strongly measurable function, \(E\) is an arbitrary Banach lattice, and the integral is the Bochner or Pettis integral with respect to the measure \(\nu:\Sigma\to\mathbb{R}_+\). They show that \(|\mu|\) exists and satisfies \(|\mu|= \int | f| d\nu\) whenever \(f\) is Bochner integrable or \(f\) and \(| f|\) are Pettis integrable.
