Config of free goods?

I'm an ABAPer so forgive if my question is not clear to you SD guys. We are having an issue with creation of orders and the functional consultant might be new to this problem.
I read several threads here regarding the config.
1) I checked transaction VOV4 for OR-NORM-FREE-TAN-TANN. it's there
2) Checked material master MM03 / Sales Org. 2 for category group. Group of material is NORM.
3) Checked free goods determination in VBN3 for Customer-Material combination, there's a value there and is valid from 12/22/2008 to 12/31/9999 (valid indefinitely)
But when we try to create an order in VA01, using the same customer and material (from number 3) and set the item category of the material to TANN, the system automatically changes it to TAN.
(On the technical side) I checked the exits MV45AFZZ and MV45AFZB and there is no routine there that does the change from TANN to TAN so we're convinced that this is caused by some config.
Can anyone help? How can the item stay as TANN (without having to retype. When it is retyped, it's like the item category is being forced into the system, right?)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
What I undersatnd is , you want INCLUSIVE free good sdetermination.
For example, for every 10 units 2 units are free. That means 20% free goods.
If Customer has ordered for 10 units then he has to pay for 8 units and 2 units will be free of charge.
In standard, the free goods condition type is NA00 (with item generation).
So, you need to create the Condition record for NA00 in transaction VBN1 and specify the free quntity properly.
In standard, the Pricing Procedure for free goods determination is NA0000.
You need to assign this procedure to the Sales Area in which you want to create the Sales Order (V/N6).
Now, when you will create an order for the above material say M1 for 10 units, system will split it as two line items.
First line item, M1 -
8 units -
TAN (system will calculate price for this item).
Second line item, M1----
2 units -
TANN (no pricing, it is 100% free).
You need not have to specify the Item category mannually.
For the first item (Main item), system will automatically take the Item category as TAN and for the 2nd item (sub-item) item category will be TANN.

How to config Free goods process like rebate

Dear Masters,
I have a problem like this:
Our customer want using free goods by accrual sales volume. If in a period, sales volume can have exp 1000 m3, buyer will get a free goods. But as I know SAP std does not support like this! Is there anyway to solve problem?
Thks a lot for your support!
Regards,
Nguyen Pham,

Hi,
The process is not directly supported in SAP, however there is a suggestion not sure how far it solves your problem.
1. Seperate order type (if the volume of such schemes is high).
2. Using VA05 find the volume of sales for such scheme product.
3. Mainatian free goods procedure for scheme product.
4. In the new order type put in the quantity referenced from VA05, have the free goods determined with TANN for the free goods & for the higher level item make it non deliverable.
By this way you would be capture the quantity for which the free goods have been given away as well as useful for reporting purpose.
There is no direct rebate like set-up possible for free goods without any custom development to my knowledge.

Free goods with combination of material determination

Hi All,
I have Materil X for this free good is Y. But for material Y there is material determination with A. In this case what will happen while i am entering the material X in the sale order/
As of my knowledge freegoods don't support for any special function like BOM & vairant config. I don't know about the material det.
Please clarify this doubt.
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
You can see Material Determination and Free goods as two seperate issues.
For material X, Material Y will be a free good only when material Y is available in stock. The system will not substitute materiail Y with material A just because you have material determination configured for the same.
On the other hand, if you enter material Y on its own i.e. seperately at the line item level of the sales order..........then material determination will occur and the item will be substituted by material A.
See both of them as two seperate scenarios.
Hope its clear.............

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.

SO-Free goods found but not apply

HI everybody,
Please help me solve this problem:
I've finished free goods and tested OK 2 months ago. It doesn't work when I come back and check again.
I have configed and define master data VBN1, I use free goods analysis to check, system found condition record and display "Condition record has been specified", but when I click on that condition record "The condition record for use N can not be displayed". And no have any subsequent item under Main Item (system even don't warning when I input quantity smaller minimum quantity of free goods as in the past).
More Infor: I just use Exclusive for Free goods with the very simple way. And I still can input manually free goods by inputting higher level item no.
I have researched every topic and check config again and again but it doesn't seem to work. Please suggest me any way to continue.
Many thanks for your help.

Use Tcode VBN2.
Provide your Free Goods condition type - Discount type in VBN2 and click on Condition Information button.
This would take you to display condition record screen.
Don't provide/maintain any data in selection parameter & Execute.
But kee validity period/date in check.
If any condition record is maintain, then you will be able to see the result in List for Condition Type screen.
You can also follow Table KONDN - Conditions: Free goods - Data section to check whether you have any data maintained.
KONDN-KSCHL
Discount type
- Free Goods condition type
Say, NA00 - Free Goods SD

Sending multiple email for free goods item category??

Hi,
we have requirement to send email (Z report in smartforms) automatically when sale order save in tcode VA01/VA02.
we made reqd config in tcode NACE and we set access sequence on ORDER TYPE and it's working fine. but the problem is that when order booked for item category free goods it sends multiple emails. (i.e. no. of line items = no. of email) for one order no. All other item category is working fine. only problem with the free goods.
I am an abaper. all config are made with the consent of SD consultant.
pls help.
thanks
Radhashyam Sahoo.

If you are an ABAPer, then it sounds like you simply need to debug the processing to identify where/why the fault occurs. As for the NACE settings, you should understand the config as well as your functional counterpart. It will make you a better developer and help you understand the processing code.

Item category for free goods that does not require extra free goods

Hi all,
I have created 3 item categories (ZM1J, ZM0J and ZMFJ)
ZM1J is standard item for sales
ZM0J is free goods
ZMFJ is also free goods
I have setup VBN1 for free goods "buy 10 get 1 free" and my order is including these 3 item categories
ZM1J 10 EA and ZM0J 1 EA. These 2 lines are correct as I need.
Then I give other free goods which is ZMFJ 10 EA and system is asking me to give free goods 1 EA but I don't want to give free goods for ZMFJ. I will deliver only 21 EA (10 for sales and 11 for free)
What config it should do for this case?
Another question, ZM0J is selected by default. How to manually change it to ZMFJ in sales order? This is because some case, I still need to use ZM0J.
Please advise. Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Darin

Hi,
Item category is determined by the four combination
Sales order + item category group + usage + item category at higher level.
Now you are using free goods determination procedure.
So that does not depend upon item category determination.
You have to define the item category determination so that proper delivery and proper pricing happens.
Now if you are giving 10more free item for which you have maintain free goods determination master data.
Then system will automatically give one more free goods for that material.
but if you giving some other material as a free goods then please let me know.
Give your requirement that in which way you want to process your ZMFJ then we can give you better suggestion.
To define alternative item category go to
IMG u2013 SD u2013 Sales u2013 Sales documents u2013 sales document item u2013 assign item category.
Over here you can assign alternative item category for your combination.
If you assign over here then you can change manually in the sales order.

Presently free item of preceeding billing document is not getting copied to my return order. Please inform us the config steps for the same.
Thanks in Advance,

Free goods scheme

Dear ALL,
First let me tell you, i have searched the forum for the clue to the below topic. Could not find any clue. That's the reason am posting this question.
and also know in sap std only 1:1 is possible. but would like to know, if anybody has encountered this type scenario and what is work around.
Issue is in free goods determination
Example:
1. material bottle belongs to one division and bottle cap belongs to another division
2. different types of bottles are defined
3. Each type of bottle has a material group. and in each type there are different colors of bottle with separate material code for each color.
Example:
Material Group A bottle
Material B white color, material c blue color, material D green color etc.
Issues is if customer buys all colors then we need to issue 1 free goods.not necessary that should buy all colors. colors may vary and quantity also vary.
Hope am clear in explaining the scenario.
Thanks in advance

Free goods in consignment and excise in consignement?

Hi gurus...
Please let me know how does free goods be configured in consignment process & Where does excise invoice created in consignment process pls tell config steps in these two scenarios its an interview question...
good points if get a right answer..

Hi,
For free goods in consignment we can do it manual at enduser level by using TANN. and at
consultant level u can determine pricing proc .. change
consignment document type Pric Proc.. remaining normal.
In consignment fillup - the excise will be charged but not the taxes. Since the material leaves the plant it attracts the excise. SInce the ownership still lies with us, it is not considered as sold and hence the taxes are not applicable.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Raja

Complicated Free goods scenario for Beverage

Hi
These are scenario for F&B business - mostly they have complicated promotion on free gifts which I think SAP standard cannot cover it. If any of you has the similar cases, please share how you handle it, thanks.
1. Buy soda water size 10 oz regardless of soda taste for 1 pack (1 pack consist of 24 bottles) then get 1 bottle free.
2. Buy soda water size 10 oz regardless of soda taste for 1 pack, then get 1 bottle free - maximum at 2 sets.
3. Buy soda water either size 10 oz or 15 oz for 1 pack, get 1 bottle of 10 oz free
4. Buy soda water regardless of soda taste as set i.e. for every 36 packs of combine size 10 oz, 15 oz and 1 lt - get free items of 10 oz/15 oz for 2 bottles per pack and free item of 1lt for 1 bottle per pack
5. Similar to 4 with additional condition that 1 soda taste must be more than 50% - for example, it must be coke at least 50%
6. Sales quota - Buy 1 pack, get 1 bottle free - maximum 100 bottles for each customer
Please kindly share your experience or ideas. Thank you

HI Chanchana,
I had a similar problem while configuring Free goods in Ceramic Industry(Sanitaryware division).
For Eg: In the case of wash-basins, basins of different colors are defined as different materials, an the requirement was to
2 Black & 2 red = 1 tap free
or
1 red, 1 white & 1 black = 2 taps free.
We did a lot of R&D considering std SAP free goods scenario, out of which I can conclude the following:
1) Std SAP allows only 1 + 1(Same material, inclusive) or 1 + 1(different material, exclusive) to be configured as free goods.
In your case if the main material and the free goods are defined as two different materials and there is no 3rd material coming into picture only then free goods config will work.
For Eg: For 10qty Material A, 1 qty of material A free - possible
For 10qty of material A, 1qty of material B free - possible
For 10qty of Material A, 5 qty of Material B, 1qty of Material C free- not possible in std SAP.
You can convince this to your client, but if they still insist on having the same, you will have to develop a custom 'Z' application which will control the same. However, the same might turn out to be very complex, since pricing, COGS of the free material has to be taken care of along with a lot of other factors. Also the delivery and billing has to go through std SAP, mapping of which will be complex again.
All the best.
Regards,
Amit
