Accessory Goods as Free Items

Dear All,
Pls suggest the SAP best practise for the below scenario.
We are suppling the material to the customer along with accessroies. As accessory material is not included in the sale order, stock for the same is not getting deducted. Neither BOm is configured not we want to configure the BOM.
Only parent material needs to be priced and accessroy material is not to be priced in the sale order. I want to use item category TANN for the same.....with revent for pricing as B - Pricing for free goods (100% discount) but still sale order taken the pricing after changing the item category.
Please suggest the best way to configure the above scenario so without carrying out pricing, stock should get deducted for the accessory material.

Hi
Since you are changing the Item Category for the accessories manually in the sales order, you assign the Line Item number of the main Item to which you are considering this as free items, in the column "HL ItCat'. This column is very nearer to the item category column.
Thanks,
Ravi

Force free item (TANN) in the sales order?

Is there any way to force a free item (TANN category) to be added to a sales order (VA01)? Standard configuration cannot be used because users want the item to be added after they have filled in an custom (Z) field on a line.
With standard free goods determination free item is added immediately after user hits [Enter]. But in this case they enter data for the line, hit [Enter], SAP goes through all its stuff and only then the field becomes available. After they fill in the field and hit [Enter] SAP doesn't go back to the same place where normally free goods are determined.
Could I use some flag to fool the program into going back or is there an FM that I could call? Does anyone know where exactly standard free goods determination is performed?
I've been debugging the whole day, so your help will be trully appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for your response. Basically yes, they want just to add a free item to the order, it's just not based on the material entered (otherwise standard would have worked fine) but on the custom "deal" field.
User expectations are along these lines:
1. User enters material, quantity, sales unit.
2. Use goes to the tab 'Additional data B' on the item
3. User enters 'Deal" and hits Enter (or goes back to the overview screen).
4. Free item appears.
The problem is that standard free goods determination happens between 1 and 2. Nothing happens between 3 and 4.

Divide discount of free goods between several items (SO)

Hi gurus,
I need to split the cost of the free good between the items generating it, i.e. if the customer buy 5pcs of Mat A and 4pcs of Mat B he gets 1pcs of Mat C for free. He will only see the original price for the "main" items and zero for the free good but intenally the profit margin of the "main" materials should be deducted with the cost of the free good and the free good should have full profit margin as if it was sold for full price.
I'm aware that this is not standard SAP functionality and that I probably need to change a user exit in program MV45AFZZ.
Please help me with this problem! Any advice or tips are highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Mia

Is it possible to solve this problem by modifying a user exit? I was considering creating a new pricing condition which should be inflicted between the net value and profit margin by the user exit so that the customer only sees the original values for the main materials but the profit margins are reduced with the price of the free goods directly in the order. Is this doable?

Free goods-more than one material as a free item in sales order

Hi,
We have a requirement for our client in free goods scenario in which the client wants to give more than one material(2or3 etc) as a free item in the sales order.I have already explored the slaes BOM functionality,anyother suggestions other than Sales BOM will be of great help to me.
Thanks

Hi Sam,
Check out my [post|Re: Free goods process requirement] wherein I had the same problem once upon a time.
We tried all possible things, however concluded that through std SAP functionality the same is not possible.
FYI: Free Goods doesnt support BOM, Sub items, Product selection. etc.

Multiple free goods for one item in standalone CRM

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to implement multiple free goods for one item in standalone CRM.
As per SAP.help.com, it says that we can configure multiple free goods scenario in standalone CRM system.
We tried to set up this in our system. Basically we want to implement the scenario, where a user wants to purchase item A, he should get a prompt for choosing between two free goods B and C.
We did the relevant IMG settings required for Free goods at IMG ->CRM -> Basic Functions -> Free Goods.-> Set up Free Goods
We also did the relevant item category determination where we have made an entry with
Item Usage = " Free Goods" , Main item cat. = "TAN' , Item Category = "TANN".
Now we went to create condition records in the path "SAP Menu -> Master Data -> Prices and Conditions -> SAPCND/GCM - Maintain condition"
We chose Application ="PRT", MaintenanceGrp="PRT_FGOODS", Maintenance context ="GCM"
Then while creating conditon records , when I try to create two condition records where the Main Product is same but free good product is different, the system is not allowing to save these two condition records.
it is giving error "Overlapping validity periods for two condition records".
Please advice, if i am missing something. Thanks in advance for your help.
thanks,
Randhir

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.
This answers your qn Not possible in R3
If you are on Retail scenario this is possible thro bonus buy schemes
But a lot of customizations needs to be done and you need a retail server to do that

Goods Receipt Not Possible for PO with Free Item Checked (Tick Mark)

Hi Team,
We have a PO with one line item where the free item check box is ticked and net price is blank.
When we try to make GR with respect to the PO via T Code MB01 we are getting error as " No goods receipt possible for purchase order xxxxxxxxxxx for item xxxx "
Thanks
Vijay

Hello,
You can find confirmaton control under following customization path;
SPRO>>Materials Management>>Purchasing>>Confirmations>>Set Up Confirmation Control
Execute and select 004 (Inbound delivery) and double click on confirmation sequence.
004 is inbound delivery.
Also make sure that you first need to go to ME22N and then in item detail of purchase order tick the check box of confirmation required. Once this this is ticked you can create inbound delivery.
You need to create inbound delivery with VL31N.
Go to VL31N >>Enter PO number and execute. and save the delivery.Now confirm the transfer order with LT12 which is created and do the post goods reciept.

Free item reference document number not populated in MIGO item screen

Hi
I have a requirement where in I would need to populate the reference document number in the MIGO item when I am cancelling a goods receipt in case of free items.
In standard SAP system we know that it would only be populated when GRbased IV is ticked in PO but in free item PO this is not ticked . So was enquiring if any body knows how we could populate the reference document number at GR cancellation in MIGO item level for free items .

Hi,
If you mean the field MSEG-SMBLN, then it is always populated at cancellation, no matter the GR-based IV flag.

Free items in automatically created POs

Hello gurus,
we would like to create POs automatically using MRP. The problem is that some of the materials are always free goods.
So if I created the PO manually, i would tick the free item checkbox. Can this be done automatically?
Thanks
Alicia

Hi,
yes , it is possible to get the free goods indicator automatically,
ask your ABAPer to develop a program to get the indicator automatically wrt to the document type,
related check box field is " UMSON " in the table EKPO,
here is the code, which may be helpful to you,
DATA: WA_EKPO TYPE BEKPO.
*TABLES ekko.
Making Free Item Checkbox Mandatory for IMF Doc. Type
IF SY-TCODE EQ 'ME21N'.
IF I_CEKKO-BSART EQ 'IMF'.
READ TABLE IT_BEKPO INTO WA_EKPO WITH KEY UMSON = ' '
EBELN = ' '.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
MESSAGE E033(ZMEG) WITH WA_EKPO-EBELP.
ENDIF.
ELSEIF I_CEKKO-BSART EQ 'IM'.
READ TABLE IT_BEKPO INTO WA_EKPO WITH KEY UMSON = 'X'
EBELN = ' '.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
MESSAGE E034(ZMEG) WITH WA_EKPO-EBELP.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Remove Free Item Check box in PO

Hi,
By mistake I have checked the free item check box in the PO, I have done goods receipt for this PO. Now I want to remove this check box in the PO and post the invoice. Please help me.
Thx

Hi
You cannot post the Invoice, since the GRN is posted with ZERO price.
Reverse the GRN first.
Modify the PO, Untick the free goods indicator
And then Post the GRN & Invoice

Free Item in Purchase Order Item

Hello All,
I would like to ask where in table level can I identify Purchase Orders which have "Free Item". Because on the screen field i saw from the technical definition that the "Free Item" is of field MEPO1211-UMSON, but when I go to EKPO I cannot find the corresponding field.
I have this idea but I don't know if it is right or not, in case I uncheck the "Invoice Receipt" in the Purchase Order Item details, the "Free Item" check box appears. So I am thinking is all Purchase Order Items which have "Invoice Receipt" (EKPO-REPOS) uncheck considered as a "Free Item".
Thanks.

Hi,
When we are talking about Free Items, in SAP terms, it means that we would not have any conditions/Gross/Net Price.
Also, Invoice Receipt will be unchecked because for free items, there would not be any invoice right?
So we can conclude that, once Invoice Receipt is unchecked + Free items is checked, this particular line item will be received as free goods.
Note that if the material is valuated, it will affect your MAP (moving average price).

Free Items in Import Purchase Order

Hi All,
How to handle a FOC materials ( No payment to Vendor) in Import PO.
I have an Import Purchase order (FOC items) with all the applicable Duties and i have to pay only the Duties to the Customs and not to Vendor.
How to handle this scenario in SAP????
Regards,
Kumar Rayudu

Dear Kumar,
Free of Cost (FOC) materials can be handled in two ways;
(a) Through PO using Free Items clicking ICON in transaction code ME21N
(b) Through manitaining condition records using transaction code MBN1
Using this, materials can receive free of goods...that means....you can make goods receipt....but not valuated....i mean.....no liability will create.
Hope this information will be useful.
Bye,
Muralidhara

Create a free item PO

Hi, Gurus,
I try to create a Free Item PO in account assignment category P,
so I put net price as 0 and I checked free box. But the system
always ask me to check the GR based IV box, also Inv receipt
box. However, once Inv receipt box is checked, the net price
should be greater than 0, that is the error msg I got. How to
set these check box? and is there a config to set?
I tried OME9, but seems not work.
thanks

Dear BIAO,
The scenario is good but you need to do this you have to maintaine small setting for this.
Go to OME9 and select your account assignment type click details and here maintain gr non valuated tick then your material non valuated so no need to any error will come doing MIRO
and also here remove check mark of invoice reciept
Hope this helps you

PO "Free Item"

Hi experts,
May I know how do I control the "Free Item" indicator default value?
Previously I managed to convert a PR into PO without a problem. But now when I convert a PR into PO, the "Free Item" indicator was checked as default. So there is no Net Price in my PO unless I unchecked the "Free Item" indicator. I'm not sure how this happened.
May I know how can I solve this problem?
Thanks and regards,
JT

Hi Murali,
I've done what you said. In our SAP system, there is no such setting, so I guess it is not related to what you have told me to check.
For the past 2 years, these type of PR was created from a customized program via BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE. All the PR created from this program, the Goods receipt, Invoice receipt and GR non-valuated checkboxes were not checked/ticked.
When I try to amend by checking/ticking the Invoice receipt checkbox and try to convert the PR into PO, the Net Price will be there and the "Free Item" indicator was not checked.
My another question is that why is this problem happen now instead of 2 years ago?
Thanks and regards,
JT

Auto PO - Free Item

When we are creating SO, an auto PO is being triggered. However, the free item in SO is not being copied to PO. Instead it is being saved as a regular item.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi,
As per my knowledge this can be controlled through item category,for automatic PR can be created through TAS item category with schedule line CS,so if the order have two line items like normal good and free good we can make difference through the item category,the PR will generate only for TAS item category for TANN it won't generate.
Thanks
Ram
