Copa document for free of charge orders not relevant for billing

Hi all,
when we create the shipment costs of the samples goods the systems give us this error: ME083 "Entre Profit. segment".
The mistake is related to the missing profitability segment in the sales order of samples goods there are not valid for the billing.
How can we generate a profitability segment for free of charge sales orders not relevant for the billings?
The Item Category is not relevant for the billing and we can't modify it.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Matteo

Hi Sanil,
unfortunatly we can't create the billing. Due to fiscal requirements only sales orders and delivery exist.
We can't generate an invoice even with zero value.
The SD item category is not relevant for billing, so in the sales order no profitability segment is generated.
This is the standard functionalty of SAP, but we need to generate a profitability segment in the sales order because the shipment cost need it (transportation module of SAP).
All the other SD flow (sales orders with invoices) run already well.
Thanks
Matteo

  • COPA document for free of charge orders

    Friends,
    We are using free of charge orders (ZFD) with Item category ZKLN. I understand COGS will be updated during delivery and no accounting is posted during billing. Also I thought no COPA document is generated but in our case it is generating a COPA document posting COGS. Client doesn't want this.  Can you guide me where this setting is to make sure no COPA document is generated for  free of charge orders.
    Thanks in advance

    I agree with Ajay that this is not really a wise thing to do but, as it happens, my current client asked me to do the same thing recently. 
    I suggested to them that we keep the postings to CO-PA, but exclude them from reports by using the Item category as a report selection criteria (could even be hard-coded into the selection criteria so the user is unaware of it). That way you don't lose the data and it can still be reported if anyone ever requires it.
    Unfortunately, they didn't accept my suggestion so I had to exclude the CoGS postings from CO-PA. I did this by using the valuation enhancement  COPA0002 (EXIT_SAPLKEAB_001). The code in the exit just says that where the Item category is for a free sale (ZTANN in our case), set all value fields to zero.
    An alternative, if you can have a unique billing type for these "sales", would be to use the "Reset Value Fields" settings in config (KE4W). In that case, you wouldn't need to use the exit.
    Hope that helps.

  • Is it possible to create invoice for Free of Charge order

    Dear All,
    Is it required to create a Billing document for an Free of charge order as far as Indian scenario is concerned.
    We are not charging any value to the customer for Free of Charge. Free of Charge order value will be Zero only.
    In this case, is it required to abide with invoice while sending the materials to the customer.
    Regards,

    Dear Reazuddin,
    But in FOC orders value will be zero.
    PR00 value will be compensated with R100 condition type.
    But Excise condition type will be calculated on Basic price.
    When the basic price value, how the system calculates the Excise condition type values.
    Could you please clarify?

    hello, friend.
    i will still research the subject.  but the first thing that comes into my mind is t-code VA05.  with this, you have the option to change the Plant en masse.  so a possible workaround is for you to list a number of sales orders using VA05.  you then sort the line items by Plant.  choose all items with the same plant, change the plant via mass change... then change back to the original plant.  hopefully, the new settings should apply.
    do test a few sales orders by doing this for a larger scope.
    regards.

    Hi, my 4th generation 8gb white ipod charger port is broken, would apple replace my product for free if I'm not insured?

    I doubt it since that type of damage is caused by the user, not a defect. You can always make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and ask
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99.

  • How to do billing for Free of  charge delivery item

    Hello Gurus ,
    We have some requirement: The requirement  is this  company is  delivering the goods to customer in free of charge, but want to do Billing is it possible.
    But as per my knowledge it is not there in standard  , I checked in system .
    looking for your inputs .
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Venkat

    Hi Venkata,
    This is very usual in Brazil because we have a Legal Requirement that all goods must have a Eletronic Nota Fiscal issued and following along with the goods. And the Eletronic Nota Fiscal is generated along with a Billing. Also, usually companies want to account this billing for a give Cash account, so they can cost someone for the free goods later.
    Here is what usually changes. On sales order we require a Cost Center. This also may help modifying your OBYC for the free of goods material document (they will be set as consumption since there is a cost center associated with the transaction). We created a billing document type pointing to a z account document type (ie ZG) - to avoid mixing them along with the RV documents. Also, we inform a account key for cash allocation (the billing will not be accounted for a customer, but actually for a cash account). To do this you have to fool SAP informing an account determination cash settlement, which will allow you to inform the Acc.Key-cash alloc. field - after remember to blank the acc.det.cash settl.
    It is not that easy, but works fine.

  • Cost center valorization for free of charge item

    During sales order entry I need to have some
    - standard item that have to be invoiced to the customer
    - free of charge items; these items have not to be invoiced and for them I need to value a specific cost center ( for the standard price stored in material master data).
    I know there is a customizig setting I can use to manage the relationship between the order reason and the cost center but this value is valid at header level (VBAK-KOSTL) while I don't know how I can set different cost center at item level (VBAP-KOSTL).
    Thank you in advance,
    Alessandro

    Hi,
    in NewGL I am sure that its not possible as there is no accounting document created (which contains the PRCTR information as well) if the revenue is zero.
    And I am pretty sure that its not possible too in old PCA (Ledger 8A).
    CO-PA docs. can be created for free of charge items (otherwise the cost of these items are missing in costing-based CO-PA).

  • 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.

  • Free of charge Order Process/ Release Delivery block

    hi all,
    i am new to Workflow.
    i have a issue to be done in wrokflow.
    The work flow has to be incorporated with Free of Charge order process.  The work flow process will allow a delivery block / credit block to be released only based on  authorized user.
    Can any one guide me in doing this.
    Waiting for your response.
    thanks in advance.
    Suki

    Hii Suki...
    As I am still not clear with ur requirement, so provide these details...
    1)  When should ur workflow trigger..?
    2) Do u want the credit/delivery block to be released by a particular person??
    For (1), U should look for an appropiate Business Object related to ur scenario, which u can find in SWO2 (BOR) and thus by using a particular event of ur BO, u can trigger ur WF.
    For (2), U should assign that particular user as the Agent for the step so that  he only receives the work-item in his Inbox and thus process it.
    Hope this might help you.......
    Plz rewards points.......

  • Use Tax for Free of charge items

    Here is the scenario:
    In our Business, there is a process to give a Free item with mostly all the products sold online. In SAP, we will create regular sales order with 1 line item as TAN and other item category as TANN.
    The Business wants to calculate Use tax on the 2nd line item where Net value=0. As we use the same Pricing procedure, we cannot charge different taxes based on line item.
    The other option was to send the cost details to Vertex, so that they can store it in Vertex and use for Tax calculations. The technical issue is that whenever the Net value=0, Vertex RFC is not called.
    We have proposed to create a report in SAP which will tell them the order details with Free items but this is not acceptable to Business.
    Has anyone worked on such scenario where Use tax is calculated on the Sales side for Free of charge items.

    The basic concept in tax is seller can levy the appropriate tax on the items which they are billing.  This being the case, I am not sure, why for a free of charge item, tax should be levied.  Can you please share in which Business process, this is being followed.  Needless to mention, if at all you want to achieve this requirement, have a separate condition type for this free goods, set as statistical, so that, only tax portion would be posted to FI.

  • Updating the Item category in a Free of Charge order

    Hi all,
    I am currently working in a requirment on Free of Charge orders.
    Existing scenrio is : In Free of Charge orders, if there is a BOM material is associated in the sub item, then the particular product's item category is not editable, so we can't alter it manually. SAP Note : 796926 says there are restrictions for usage of free of charge transaction types when the sub item involved is BOM.
    Requirement: To make this item category editable in this scenario.
    So we are currently looking for an option to make an enhancement to SAP standard program for this.  I tried to debug standard modules from the point where we open an order. But not able to find any significant place which deals with disabling this item category.
    Any suggestions on the SAP CRM program which deals with this will be very helpful.  Thanks in advance.

    hi
    Once the BOM is created it is not possible to change the item category,either you have to delete the material and re-enter the material with different item category
