Free goods determination (Quantity Update)

Hi Experts,
Need your help in below scenario
Company wants if a customer buys 100 tons of cement in a month, 2 tons of cement is given to him free
Kindly suggest how to map this scenario in SAP
I have thought of free goods but donu2019t know how to update the quantity
For example if a customer buys 100 tons of cement in 10 days
10 tons of cement each day on 10th day he should get 2 tons of cement free automatically.
It means if he places the order for 10 tons of cement on 10th day he should get 12 tons of cement
As customer has completed the target of 100 tons of cement and we are giving 2 tons of cement free
Thanks in Advance for your help

hi,
create a schedule agreement to the same. say 100 bags of cement for 10 days = 10 bags per day and at the last day
basing on the quantity it has to pickup 10+ 20 bags as free.
In exclusive free goods access sequence there is a requriment field in which you can assign your own routine for your requriment.
logic:
create a Z table with maintaince view and the fields there inside maintaince view is:
1. line items, order quantity, order date, last day of the sales order creation for eg.
and make it to compare to the order quantity or according to no of line items split. here you need to consider some parameters & give logic to the system that when is the last date of your delivery. for that you need to take last line item or order quantity ends into consideration in that routine.
when ever the scheduling agreement is getting triggered from there only system understands that this is the last day and it will trigger the free goods as expected
then only the exclusive goods that is 10+20 bags has to trigger automatically.
please check teh same in teh system and confirm the fourm

Free goods determined in Delivery over Order Quantity in Sales Order Item

Hi Gurus,
I've a problem about using free goods determination.
First I created free goods master record with following information
ZG1010012060075 From 100 PC -> Free good ZG1040012060075 2 PC
Free goods Category = '2' (Exclusive)
Free goods delivery control = 'E' (Delivery proportional to quantity in main item)
Then I've created Sales Order with
Item 10 ZG1010012060075 4,000 PC.
Item 11 ZG1040012060075(Free good) has been automatically determined for 80 PC
Then I've splitted Item 10 into 4 deliveries. The result of free goods determine in each delivery are as follow:
Delivery#1)
Item10 ZG1010012060075 = 1,176 PC
Item20 ZG1040012060075 = 24 PC
Delivery#2)
Item10 ZG1010012060075 = 1,176 PC
Item20 ZG1040012060075 = 24 PC
Delivery#3)
Item10 ZG1010012060075 = 1,176 PC
Item20 ZG1040012060075 = 24 PC
Delivery#4)
Item10 ZG1010012060075 = 472 PC
item20 ZG1040012060075 = 9 PC
*Remark : Total quantity of 'ZG1040012060075'(free goods) = 92424+24 = 81 PC
(Greater than 80 PC)*
I think the system determined free goods in Delivery#4 correctly due to rounding up. But It might not be over the order quantity in Sales Order Item 11. Even though I've set the item category in delivery with Check overdelivery = 'B' (Situation rejected with an error message), the free goods are determined over order qty. BUT if I change delivery qty in delivery#4 Item20 from 9 PC -> 8 PC -> 9 PC, the error message occurred.
My point is to fix the system not determine free goods in delivery items over order quantity in sales order item.
Has anyone met this situation before? Do you have any idea about this issue?
Best Regards,
Prachya Lalitnorasate

Dear Sai,
Thank you for your advice, but it didn't solve my problem.
I would like the system to determine free goods with proportional to main item AND In the last delivery main item delivered completely free goods must be determined equal to remaining open delivery item.
Do you have any idea about configuration/customization?

Free Goods Determination

Hello All,
 Can any one please explain the process of Free Goods Determination with both exclusive/inclusive and the config settings .
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hello Manoj
Please find the detailed explanation on Free goods below 
Free goods play a large role in price negotiations with your customers. As a result, free goods are determined to be placed in sales document automatically. In retail, chemical industry or consumer goods industry, it is common to provide discounts in the form of free goods.
a. Inclusive Bonus Quantities Free goods can be part of order quantity not included in the invoice (billing). This is called inclusive bonus quantity. The ordered goods and the free goods both involve the same material. The quantity units of the free goods and the ordered goods must be the same.
b. Exclusive Bonus Quantities Free goods that take the form of extra goods that are free of charge are called exclusive bonus quantities. In this case, the extra bonus quantities are not typically included in the invoice (billing). This can either be an additional quantity of the goods ordered or it can be another article. The exclusive free of goods appear in the SD document as an individual free of charge item.
Both types of free goods are treated in the same way in the sales order. The material that has been ordered is entered as a main item (TAN) and the free item (TANN) is automatically displayed as a sub item. The item category determines how the item is controlled later in the business process.
The system re-reads the free goods master record in the sales order if the quantities in the main item change or if the pricing date changes. The system then deletes the sub items and re-creates them. Any manual changes to the free goods quantity are lost.
Note: If pricing is re-run in the sales order, it does not affect the free goods determination.
The condition technique is used for free goods. Free goods are generally regarded as a supplement to the pricing agreement for a material. You can define master records for free goods at any level such as material, customer/material, price list category/currency/material or customer hierarchy/material. The transaction code is VBN1 and condition type NA00 which automatically gets converted into R100 during sales document processing.
You can restrict a free goods condition master record for one level in many ways
a. Validity period: the condition is only valid within this period
b. Lowest quantity: the condition comes into affect when this quantity has been exceeded.
c. Delivery control:
d. Calculation type:
e. Scales
You can process different master data with the same key for inclusive and exclusive bonus quantities at the same time. You only need to press a button to switch between two types of discount. When you enter an exclusive bonus quantity, an extra entry line appears where you can enter the free material if it is not the same as the ordered material.
When you specify a calculation rule, you decide how the system determines the free goods quantity in the sales order from the additional and document quantities.
a. The free goods quantity is the quantity that is calculated from the discount quantity (not the minimum quantity)
b. Additional quantity is the quantity delivered free of charge
c. Document quantity is the quantity entered by the person creating the sales order.
three calculation rules are provided by the system i.e.
a. Prorated the system calculates the free goods in right proportion to document the quantity. For example if 20 units are offered for free for 100 units in the condition record and the customer orders 162 units, then the system calculates 162 * 20/100 (rounded off) as free goods.
b. Related to units 20 units are given for free for every 100 units ordered. In the above case the customer would only get 20 units free as he placed an order for 162 units.
c. Whole units the customer would not get any free goods if he doesnt match the exact quantity proposed. That is, in the above case, the customer doesnt get any free goods as the ordered quantity did not match 100 units. Anything below or over the mark will not be qualified for a free good.
Calculation rules are stored in the system in the form of ABAP/4 code. You can also define your own rules by using transaction code VOFM (system modifications).
The free goods determination procedure contains a list of condition types for the free goods. One access sequence is assigned to each condition type and each access sequence contains one ore more accesses and each access contains exactly one table. This represents the search key that the system uses to search for valid condition records.
The free goods determination procedure is assigned to sales area + document pricing procedure + customer pricing procedure just as in the case of pricing procedure assignment as free goods are generally regarded as a supplement to the pricing agreement for a material.
If the search is successful, the system generates a sub item for free goods in the document. The item category is assigned with the item category usage FREE.
You can activate an analysis of the free goods determination in the sales document. The system then displays detailed information on how the free goods were determined.

Free Goods Determination - Exclusive

Hi All,
Am trying to enable Free Goods determination (exclusive). I have set up the free goods determination procedure and the condition record. However, when I create my sales Order for the original material, a new line is generated with the material that should be given away for free however the quantity field is not populated. Any idea as to what I may be doing wrong ?
Condition Record is as follows (VBN1)
Material - Material A (This is the material for which the SO is raised)
Min Qty - 2
From - 2
UnitFG - EA
add FG - 1
AddQtyUnit - 1
in % = 33 % (this is an auto field that is calculated)
Calc Rule - 3
Free Goods - 2
AddMatFrGd - Material B (This is the material that should be provided for free)
FGDelyCont - B
Your help is immensely appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Imran

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for your input. I did try your suggestion out, Calculation Rule 2, but it still does not work. I have attached the procedure to my document type.
When the SO is being created, an additional line item is generated with the free good material but without a quantity. how do i get it such that the quantity is also proposed on the new line item generated for the free good based on what has been defined in the condition record.
Regards,
Imran

How to restrict free goods determination based on item category

Hi All,
We have a process where when goods for a sales order are returned , we add a line item to same sales order with a return item category.
The issue is we have free goods determination activated for this document type and it works even for the returns item added to this order latter, whereas we don't want free goods determination to work for the returns item.
Can anyone please advise how this can be achieved.

Hi,
I can think of one of the probable solution for your requirement.
Your need to create new condition table with item Category as one of the key combination. I think you need to update the item category in field catalog as well as in Doc Structures. Then maintain free goods condition record all the item categories except for the Return item category. This way you can exclude free goods activation for return items.
Note : If the number of active item categories are more then it may be difficult to maintain condition records for the item categories.
Hope this will help

Sanjay

Stock validation of main position in Free Goods Determination

Good afternoon,
We are using Free Goods determination, but we are having a problem when there is no available stock in the main position, SAP is determining quantities of Free Goods; what we want is customize in SPRO to obligate that only we can generate Free Goods if there is enough stock in the main position.
Thanks.

Hello,
This can be controlled effectively in delivery. There is a filed
free goods delivery control in free goods determination which controls the free goods in delivery.
The rules which can be maintiaed are:
Blank : Independently of the main item
Free goods are processed fully independently.
A : only if the main item has been partially delivered The free goods are delivered only if at least part of the required sales material will, or has already been, delivered.
B : Only if the main item is partially delivered and the free goods are contained in the same delivery.
Free goods are only delivered if at least part of the material sold is delivered or has already been delivered and if the material sold is in the current delivery.
C: only if the main item has been partially delivered, only with main item.
The free goods are delivered only if at least part of the required sales material will, or has already been, delivered.
D: as a proportion to quantity the main item
The free goods are supplied as a proportionate quantity in relation to the delivered quantity of the order item.
But I don't think it is possible to have a control in the sales order to make availability of free goods depends on the maint item. But you can try with delivery group also.

Free Goods Determination Procedure

Can anyone simply tell me free goods determination procedure with an example?
Thanks

Hi,
Free goods is something that the customer is given after he buys certain quantity of the product/material.
Free goods is a strategy to increase sales volume by luring the customer that if he buys 10 products one will be absolutely free.
Free Goods:Goods that are given as additional goods as part of the ordered goods are called as free goods.Here the unit of measure of free goods should be the same as standard goods.
Example:If you are are ordering 10 maggi sauce bottle you will be paying for only 8 bottles 2 is given as freegoods.
price will not be reflected in pricing or billing.this is inclusive freegoods
Exclusive freegoods.
wherein the freegoods are given as additional good to that of the ordered goods
Example:For 4 coffee vending machine 1 kg coffee powder isgive as free goods
Sample goods:these are the goods which are given as pert of the promotional activity to increase the sales.
here the customer is not paying money.
Free goods - In SAP there are two types Exclusive and Inclusive.
Exclusive - Buy 2 and get 1 free. This means you have to buy minimum 2 pieces then on that you will get 1 piece absolutely free.
Inclusive - Buy 2 get 1 free. In this case it means you are paying for only 1 item and the other item is absolutely free.
Configuration:
IMG - Sales & Distribution - Basic Functions - Free Goods - condition technique for free goods -
1. create the condition table.
2. maintain access sequence and assign the condition table to the access sequence.
3. maintain condition type and assign the access sequence to the condition type.
4. maintain the procedure for free goods and assign the condition type to the free goods procedure.
5. Activate free goods determination. In this enter sales org., dis channel, division , docu pri pro, cust pri pro and the free goods procedure.
6. now go to VBN1 - create free goods determination. Select your condition type, key combination and enter. Here you enter sales org, dis channel, customer no., Valid from and Valid to dates. Then you first select whether it is exclusive or inclusive free goods determination. By default it will be inclusive if you click on exclusive it will become exclusive and on top it will display inclusive. Here you enter minimum quantity for free goods and from what order quantity the number of free goods. You can control the delivery also in the second last column(free goods delivery control).
Save the record. Go to VA01 create the sales order , enter the item and the minimum quantity for free goods to be applicable and observe the results.
Hope this will solve ur problem.
Plz reward Pts for useful answer.
Thx & regards,

Alternative Free Good determination in Sales order

Dear Gurus,
We activated Free Goods determination. We are maintaining condition records in Tcode VBN1. We are creating the condition records using the fields Sales org, Distribution Channel and Sales Office. Condition record specifies the free good material and its quantity for main material with specified quantity. As of now, It is working fine and it is picking up the free good material correctly at Sales order if we create line item for main material.
As per the new requirement, if the free good material is not available in the stock, it should pick up other alternative free good material for the main material. Mean to say, we want to configure free good determination where we will specify two free good materials for one main material, then system will pick up one of the free good materials for main material in Sales order.
Ex: Main material : A
1st Free good material : F1
2nd Free good material : F2
If the stock for F1 free good material is not available then system should pick up F2 free good material automatically.
I have tried to map the another Free good material for main material in the same condition record, but system is not accepting to proceed further.
Kindly suggest what I need to do, what configuration is required. Please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks
Chandra Mouli

FYI - Neel & Chandra Mouli
Substitution strategy in Material Substitution: Reason (TCode OVRQ ) controls whether product selection should occur automatically in the background or whether the alternative materials should be offered for selection in a dialog box. So, this product selection in the background is performed on the basis of the availability check.
The substitution reasons are entered in the master records for material determination.
Kindly test & share your feedback.

Inclusive Free Goods Determination ?

Hi,
   Can someone dend me the config. steps for inclusive free goods determination .
Regrds,
Binayak

dear B B
please gothough this
FREE GOODS:
     It can be configure in SAP by following two methods
A)     Manually          B)     Automatically
A) Manually:
By specifying higher level item category for a line item, we can determine free goods as a free of charge items during sale order processing.
B) Automatically:
System proposes free of goods items automatically in the sale order. In automatic free goods configuration system follows two methods
     a) Exclusive          b) Inclusive
Exclusive:
System configures free goods in exclusive option by free goods quantity is going to be excluded in order quantity ex: 10 items, line item is free, then system configures free goods as a ten plus one.
Inclusive:
System configures free goods in inclusive option by free goods quantity is going to be included in order quantity ex: for 10 items, one item is free, and then system configures free goods as Nine plus one
Note: In exclusive method, other items can be given as a free of charge items for order item
Configuration steps:
Inclusive:
SAP follows condition techniques to configure free goods automatically
Maintain pricing procedure:
IMG  SD  Basic functions  Free goods  Condition technique for free goods  maintain pricing procedure
Choose standard pricing procedure NA0001-   free goods (SD) and click on copy as button and re-name it.
Condition type NA00; access sequence -- NA00
Step 2:     Activate free goods determination:
IMG  SD  Basic functions  Free goods  Condition technique for free goods  Activate free goods determination
Go to new entries and specify our sales area, specify document PP- as A, customer PP as one and assign free goods procedure ex: NA0001.
Step 3:     control free goods pricing:
Control pricing for free goods item category
Choose item category TAN and specify the pricing as a X (pricing standard)
Choose item category TANN and specify the pricing as B (100% discount)
Step 4: Maintain condition type for 100 % discount:
     Choose condition type R100 (100% discount)
Step 5: Maintain pricing procedure for pricing:
Choose our PP from position button , select it and click on control data icon and include condition type R100 between steps of discounts & specify requirement = 5 and specify item no: 28 as a 100% discount in alternative formula for condition base value (AltcBV)
The requirement = 55 can be assign to condition type R100. If the user wants to look both
Revenues and sales deductions for the free item since the product that we are going to give as a free of charge item can be sold separately in same sales order the item category of free goods (TANN) has the pricing value as a B then the system calculate value of free goods as 100 % discounts . As we discussed above the same material (that is going to be given as a free of charge item). Some times the same item is going to be given as a normal item, then system calculate price for normal item, system item ( free of charge item ) so here to perform this calculation we have to assign requirement = 55 for condition type R100
Alternative Condition Base Value   = (100% discount)
Condition type R100 should be taken as 0 value the formula 28 calculate condition type R100 values as a 0
Set Transfer of cost to maintain (copy and control)
IMG  SD  Basic functions  Free goods  Control free goods pricing  Set transfer of cost to maintain (copy control)
Copy control is a concept by which the system copies the data from source document to target document.
Choose billing type as F2 and delivery document type LF,
Select it & click on item icon & choose item category TAN, click on details icon and
Click on display-change icon and choose item category TAN again select it & click on details icon and check cumulate cost.
Cumulate cost controls whether the cost value (VPRS) is to be copied from relevant for sub-item into main items sub-item cost are not relevant for billing. Save & exit
Maintain copying control:
IMG  SD  Basic functions  Free goods Control free goods pricing  Maintain copy control
We maintain copying control at item level category for free goods. In this field, we can control whether the free goods should also be transferred when we copy from one document to another document.
Choose source document type as   a QT & target document type as a OR &
Select it & click on item control button under dialogue structure
Choose AGN item category from position button & click on display or change button, again click on AGN & click on details icon and
Checks re-explode structure/ free goods (this indicator controls whether the free goods are coped from source document to target documents or determined again.)
Save and exit.
Maintain condition records for free goods:
Logistics  SD  Master data  Conditions  Free goodsVBN1 (create)
--Specify condition type NA00 & specify sales org. distribution channel, customer number, valid     periods and
--Chose option as inclusive.
--Specify the material number and
--Specify the minimum order quantity,
--Specify the quantity from which the free goods should be applied
--Specify the unit of measure and
--Specify free goods (are free goods) as a one.
Calculation procedure:
We can specify the routines for calculation procedure as a A-   (1- pro- rata- proportionate)
A) Pro-rata:
Ex: if the customer places order for 100 cases of material A, that customer receives 20 cases of same material is free. That is the business can say that buy 100 and get 20.
If customer orders for 162 cases, then the system automatically calculate 32 cases as a free of cost. 162 *20/100 = 32.
B- Unit of reference:
When customer order for 100 cases of material A , then the customer receives additional 20 cases of A as a free of goods items that is the business can sign that buy 100 and get 20 free, by inventing 20 free for every full of 100 cases.
If the customer places order for 162, then system automatically grants only 20 cases.
Formula:     100*20/100 = 20
C- Whole Units:
When customer places order for 100 cases of material of A, then customer receives additional 20 cases of material A that is business can say that buy 100 and get 20 free of charge items.
If customer order for increment of 100 that is ex: for 152 items, he get only 20 . If place the order 200 items, the he gets 40 that inclusive.
Condition records for exclusive:
--Specify the discount type NA001 &
--Click on exclusive option and
--specify the sales organization, distribution channel, customer number, validity periods and materials, minimum quantity, order quantity, unit of measure, and calculation procedure, free goods and
--Specify additional material free goods (if other goods are going to be given as free of charge item) save it and exit.
--Go to VA01 and raise the sales order for inclusive and exclusive and see the free goods effects
Condition Type: NRAB free goods; requiremet-55; AltCBV-29(only for inclusive)
When the customer doesnt want physically fee goods and the free goods price should be deducted from total price ten we can use condition type NRAB, which hides free goods line item in the sales document
Settings:
Pricing for inclusive free goods w/o item generation
--Choose our pricing procedure
-- Include condition type NRAB with requirement 59 and alternative formula for condition base value- 29 between discount condition steps.
--Go to VBN1, maintain condition record for free goods with Inclusive method and make sure that free goods category should be 3( inclusive rebate w/o item generation)
--save it
--Go to VA01, raise the sales order and check NRAB condition type effect.
Requirement 59:
We have to assign requirement 59 to the condition type NRAB. If the customer buys 100 cases of product A then we receives 10 cases of product free.
If the user would not like the additional like items in the sales order for free goods rather than he discount of 10 cases be represented in the same line item as the other 90 cases. If the free goods discount should not applied as credit for return that doesnt make reference previous discounts.
Alt formula for condition base value-29:
The condition type NRAB is to be assigned with 29 formulas to support inclusive free goods agreements where the user would have to apply the discount to the order item rather than having a sub-item generated for the free quality. Ex: the customer having a free sub-item generated by the system to represent the 10 free cases. The user could like to have a discount applied to the 100 cases like item equal to the value of the 10 cases.
Note: Free goods can only be configuring on only document type C that means. We cant configure free goods inquiries in quotations.

Free goods determination with Free of charge delivery

Hello
After maintaining the Free goods Determination Record for a material using VBN1, when I create the order with order type OR, the free goods gets determined, where as when I create the order with order type FD, the free goods does not get determined. Can somebody let me know the reason for this happening and the solution please
Thanks in advance
Anoop

Hi
Free goods can only be supported on a 1:1 ratio. This means that an order item can lead to a free goods item. Agreements in the following form are not supported: u2018With material 1, material 2 and material 3 are free of chargeu2018 or u2018If material 1 and material 2 are ordered at the same time, then material 3 is free of chargeu2018.
Free goods are not supported in combinations with material structures (for example, product selection, BOM, variants with BOM explosion)
Free goods are only supported for sales orders with document category C (for example, not quotations).
Free goods are not supported for deliveries without reference to a sales order.
Free goods cannot be used in make-to-order production, third-party order processing and scheduling agreements.
If you defined a free goods for variants in a generic article (only SAP Retail), you can only process the variants in the purchase order and goods receipt individually (as single articles). In other words, you cannot process them using the generic article matrix.
Moreover your doc type FD has sales doc category as I in VOV8 in standards
Hence it is not working and wont work also
These SAP library statements answers your qn and the constraints of free goods in R3
As long as document category is not C in VOV8 for your order type you cant get free goods in sales order

New Access Sequence for Free Goods Determination

Hi Guru's,
I Have a scenario wherein i have to maintain the free Goods Condition records in VBN1 with a new access sequence namely Customer/Distribution Channel/Plant/material.
I have maintained all the necessary settings such as Free Goods Activation for Item Category, Assignment of free goods pricing procedure to my sales area,Positioning of R100 condition type in my pricing procedure with relevenat routines.
At my Sale order level after maintaining the free goods condition record in VBN1 in new access sequence, my free goods determination is not happening and at the sme time if i maintain it in the standard access sequence i.e. in Sales Org/Dist.Channel/Customer/material the free goods are getting determined.
Can anybody help me out in this..
Regards
Bhushan

Hi
There arew 2 things to be done or checked
1. Position your access sequence before the standard one by giving step nos accordingly
2.In the existing sequence check for the exclusive indicator in the standard sequence and i think that is ticked in your case
Hence after getting the condition record in the standard sequence the system stops searching for the new records in your new access sequence
If that is the casethen remove exclusive indicator from the standard one and tick the same in your new access sequence
By this you can get the condition records of your new access sequence without positioning
Pls reply whether mu suggestion has helped you

Re: Free Goods Determination

Hi all
I am currently trying the work on Inclusive free goods determination.
Currently if a customer orders 4 items he gets billed only for 3.
So i have setup a condition as:
Material/Min q/from/unit/are free goods/unit for free good/calc. rule/free goods category/FGDelvCond/
Mat.A/--1/4/-EA/1/EA/2---/1/ -blank/
I have 2 questions:
1) when i keep the free goods category as 1 - (inclusive with item generation), another item getss added with item category tann. this seems quite logical. But when I keep it as 3 - (inclusive rebate without item generation: only for sales). In this case no item is added & also all the 4 items are priced.
Can anyone explain what is the result of using free goods category = 3, & when is it used.
(Note: the pricing procedure is having R100 with req=55,Bastyp=28)
2) I wanted to know if what i think is correct. the item category determination for free goods is happening due to the following assignment present in the system:
Order typ/Itm Cat. Grp/Usage/H.Lvl. Itm Cat./Default. Itm. cat

-OR/NORM/-blank-/--TAN--/--TANN--
Finally my actual motive is to use free goods determination for a configurable item. So does the same concept apply for configurable items(0002 - item cat grp & item category - TAC) ?
Thanks

Hi
Suppose for e.g take a pen if it is priced Rs 10 and if you apply Free for that take10%
Exclusive means 10 +1 free
means in your sales order ther will be 2 line items one with TAN for 10 units and another one with TANN with one unit
first it will be 10 qty which will be priced each Rs 10 and total will be 100
second will be 1 qty which is free
By paying Rs 100 we will get 11 pieces here
Inclusive means 9 + 1free ( free item is included in the order qty)
means in your sales order ther will be 2 line items first it will be 9 qty which will be priced each Rs 10 and total will be 90 second will be 1 qty which is free
In both these cases there will be two line items will get generated in sales document
first will be chargeable item with item category TAN
The second will be item category TANN
By paying Rs 90 we will get 10 pieces here
Both this inclusive and exclusive are picked by R100 condition type
Now coming to NARB
Means free goods inclusive without item generation
Means in your sales order there will be only 1 items with qty 10 the free goode cost will be distributed among the whole of qty 10
Means the order value will be RS 90 only
There will not be any extra item generated with TANN
Here also by paying Rs 90 we will get 10 pieces
But there will be only one line item in sales order
Ultimately inclusive and inclusive without item generation the nett effect is the same_Hope this answers your point_
For first two cases we use condition type R 100 with requirement 55 and alternate base value 28
Inclusive and exclusive are picked by R100
For the third case we use condition type NRAB with requirement 59 and alternate base value 29
Inclusive without item generation is picked by NRAB
The basic difference between R100 (inclusive or exclusive) and NRAB (inclusive without item generation) is with R100 you will find 2 line items in a sales order TAN and TANN and with NRAB you will find only one line item in sales order that is TAN and there wont be TANN
While creating condition record in VBN1 there is a control on left top which tells inclusive or exclusive
Actually you have to choose exclusive here to do NRAB
In the line item while creating condition records you need to specify whether inclusive/exclusive/inclusive without item generation at a column
Here you need to specify inclusive without item generation
Actually what you specify here that is in the line item inclusive or exclusive or inclusive without item generation takes the control in the sales order
If in the left top if it is exclusive you have to choose inclusive or inclusive without item generation in the line item
If in the left top if it is inclusive you have to choose exclusive in the line item
If you understand and practise the concept will be clear to you
I have tried to explain you to the best of my ability and if you reply after understanding this will give a lot of satisfaction to me
For your qn no 2
One way of determining free goods is thro item cat determination as you mentioned
Another way is thro maintaining condition records in VBN1 and doing the entire free goods customization in spro
Constraints in free goods in R3 taken from SAP library
Free goods can only be supported on a 1:1 ratio. This means that an order item can lead to a free goods item. Agreements in the following form are not supported: u2018With material 1, material 2 and material 3 are free of chargeu2018 or u2018If material 1 and material 2 are ordered at the same time, then material 3 is free of chargeu2018.
Free goods are not supported in combinations with material structures (for example, product selection, BOM, variants with BOM explosion).
Free goods are only supported for sales orders with document category C (for example, not quotations).
Free goods are not supported for deliveries without reference to a sales order.
Free goods cannot be used in make-to-order production, third-party order processing and scheduling agreements.
If you defined a free goods for variants in a generic article (only SAP Retail), you can only process the variants in the purchase order and goods receipt individually (as single articles). In other words, you cannot process them using the generic article matrix.

Free goods determination is not working

We are on CRM 7.0.
I'm trying to configure Free goods determination in CRM sales order TSA. We have
done all the relevant customizing under CRM -> Basic Functions -> Free Goods.
Free Goods Procedure: 0NA001
Condition Type: 0NA0
Access Seq.: 0NA0
Table: SAP010
We have created the condition master data under transaction /SAPCND/GCM
with the following parameters:
Application: PRT
Maintenance Grp: PRT_FGOODS
When we create a sales order which uses the free goods procedure 0NA001 the system doesn't determine the right product. I would expect a sub item being added automatically under the main item which is part of the offer but nothing happens. Is that the correct expectation?
As part of the configuration settings, we use TAN item category for main item and I have configured item category TANN for sub-item with item usage "FREE" (not sure this is the right setting).
I have debugged the process and in FM FGD_DETERMINE_FREE_GOODS_MULTI, IPC does not return any results or any error messages.
Has anybody gone through the same issues/pain? What point am I missing?
Thanks for input.
