Configuring requirement : ordered item to absorb cost of free goods

Hello Friends,
I need to configure this in SAP SD.
The main item should accumulate the cost of the free goods.
I have set the cumulative indicator and deactivated pring for this item.
Do i still need to configure the stock value for the free goods as cost free item? Or is this step only applicable for
another scenario, like,
If I were to activate Pricing such that free goods is displayed as subitem and VPRS configured as cost and discount set to 100%
1. Set Item category to TANN using FREE usage AND
2. use condition type RL00 with requirement 55.
3. use pricing type B.
regards
Ravi

Ordered item to absorb the cost of the free goods

We have created an exclusive free goods agreement and we would like the ordered item to absorb the cost of the free goods. In order to transfer the correct information to CO-PA from SD billing, what should we do? Can anybody explain briefly?

Hi Yasar,
we do the setting for this in copy controls from delivery to billing.
pl go to t.code VTFL, select the item which is required to abasorb the cost.
there you will find a check box " cummulate cost ". Tick it here, this will make the cost of the free item to be transferred to the main item. This can also be used even incase of BOM's.

How to configure Sales order item text copy to Purchase requisition item

Hi,
How to configure sales order item text copy to Purchase requisition text then copy to PO item text.
Regards
Jack

Hi Rajesha,
Thanks for your reply, some of the items in sales order are procured externally by us and our customer maintains text related to price and specification in the item details of the sales order, MRP creates planned order for these materials and these planned orders are always converted in pur requisition, we want that text from the sales order item details should be copied in to the purchase requisitions converted from planned orders.
is there any user exit which can be called at the time of saving a purchase req or user exit for converting planned order in to pur req.?
if there is any such exit available, then I think I can read the pegged requirement of the planned order where sales order item will be found then read the text in the item then copy this text in pur req then save pur req may work.
but this will be a bulky development, please let me know if we can shorten the development.
Thanks again

Cost of free goods in header

dear all
i have configured free goods,in the order the cost is coming for free goods at item level and it is not adding to the header cost total.
for eg:i have 2 items and 1 free item.costs r 300,400,500 respectively.
in the header it is showing only 700 as cost.
i observed the inventory doc is posting correctly with 1200(which includes free goods cost).
can anybody tell weather it should add up or not and how it can be done??
thanks
reddy

Dear Yugandhar
Check
SPRO->Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Free Goods->Control Free Goods Pricing->
Control Pricing For Free Goods Item Category you will find statistical value
or in VOV7 below pricing you find statistical value
Statistical values
Indicates whether the system takes the value of an item into account
    when it determines the total value of a document.
There are three options
      System will copy item to header totals
X     No cumulation - Values cannot be used statistically
Y     No cumulation - Values can be used statistically
Check if it is initial for your item category
Standard for TANN is initial and pricing is B     Pricing for free goods (100% discount)
Do give your feedback

Configured Sales Order Items using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATE

Hello
I am trying to use the BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 to create a Sales Order for a Configured Item .
I get my item on the Sales Order but no Configuration Data behind it .
I am populating the the order_items_in & order_items_inx tables and linking using po_itm_no fields .
I am also populating the order_cfgs_ref , order_cfgs_inst , order_cfgs_value fields with the relevant Characteristics data .
I have looked at the SAP Note 549563 and can see no differences between the info on that and what I am doing .
Does anyone have any advice or experience of doing this ?

Hi all,
I managed to create a dummy sales order in SAP R/3 using the DCOM Connector and Borland Delphi 7.0 Professional.

Assorted Free Goods Problems in Sales Order

Hello All,
The problem is related to Assorted Free Goods Pricing in Sales Order.I have two queries which are provided below with example:-
In the sales order I am giving 2 Line Items. -
Material A & Material B of total quantity 10PC Then 1 PC of the Material C as 3rd line item
in the sales order is populated which is maintained as an assorted free good having Manual Free Item Category for eg. ZFV5.
Similarly line items A & B combined of 10 PC = 1 PC of Material C having Manual Free Item Category for eg. ZFV5.
Again if 10 PC of Material A or B are chosen respectively = 1 PC of Material C having Manual Free Item Category for eg. ZFV5 .
_Now I want to configure the following**_ -
1) The system will include the cost of the Assorted Free Good Item within the Main Item.
2) While raising a Sales Return Order for the above mentioned Sales Order it is observed that the manual free item category ZFV5 is changed to the Return Main Item Category whereas I want the item category to be picked up is Return Free Item Category against the Manual Item category .
Now considering the above scenarios please suggest solutions to attain my requirement.
Looking forward to some valuable suggestions.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka

Hi Priyanka
As far as what i understood from your post your requirement doesnt seem to be possible in standards
If you want the cost to be transferred to the main item then in VTFL at item level there is a check box of cumulative cost
That has to be ticked

Not all Sales Order can be used for free goods determination. You have to check the SD document category if it does not work. Only category 'C' are supported. Check transaction VOV8.
Assume that you want to configure an inclusive FREE goods routine. Customers must order a minumum quantity of 5 before any free goods can be assign. For every quantity of 3, the customer will be given 1 free goods.

In this example, if you create a Sales Order for a quantity of 10, SAP will prompt you 7 as the customer order qty and 3 will be free. Customer only pay for the 7 quantity.
Free goods
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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

- 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.
Not all Sales Order can be used for free goods determination. You have to check the SD document category if it does not work. Only category 'C' are supported. Check transaction VOV8.
Assume that you want to configure an inclusive FREE goods routine. Customers must order a minumum quantity of 5 before any free goods can be assign. For every quantity of 3, the customer will be given 1 free goods.

In this example, if you create a Sales Order for a quantity of 10, SAP will prompt you 7 as the customer order qty and 3 will be free. Customer only pay for the 7 quantity
Hopefully this will help to resolve the answer.

Issuing more then one item in free goods

Hi SD gurus,
My client is asking to issue more then two items as free goods along the main item. Example material A is sold along with material B and C as free goods.As far as my trails, I'm able to configure only one item as free goods but not the second one. Can any one suggest to configure the above scenario?

Hi Ravi krishna,
Free goods can only be supported on a 1:1 ratio. This means that an order item can lead to a free goods item. if you want to give free goods X & Y for material A, then you need to enter material Y in order, simply change the item category as TANN.
As of my knowledge there is no alternative to it.
these are the constraints for free goods:
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 from Quotation to Contract to Sales Order

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have questions regarding Free Goods. This is the scenario.
Doc flow as:
Quotation 123
     Contract 456
           Sales Order (zmor) 789
           Sales order (zkal) 101
In the quotation 123 & contract 456, the quantity of the item is 50pcs. However, when creating sales order (zmor), if we input 50 pcs as the quantity, the free goods were not determined. What we did was, we lessen the quantity to 30pcs. From there, Free goods were now shown. And then we created another sales order (zkal) for the remaining 20 pcs.
Questions:
1.- why is it on the 1st sales order w/ same quantity(50pcs), free goods were not determined?
2.- i believe that in standard SAP, free goods were not determined in quotation or in contract. Is there a way to determine the free goods on those doc types?
3.- how about free goods determination in:
A. Stock transfer order
B. Product diversion
C. Consignments
D. Virtual return
I am really hoping for feedback on this. Thanks in advance!

hi,
BOM is not supported by free goods funtionality in standard SAP.
please just go through the constraints of free goods funcitonality.
