Difference between Free goods and BOM (ERLA)

Hi,
Could any body throw some light on the Difference between Free goods and BOM(ERLA) to clarify my weired thought.
AS of what i know is Free goods is 1:1 ratio.
The main item will be prices and sub item will be free .
Than same thing is also With BOM (ERLA)
Regards,
Venksys

Hi Venksys
Please note as given below :
Free Goods : This function allows you to offer your customers a product free of charge in the form of free goods when a certain quantity of products is ordered. Free goods is a kind of quantity discount, and is granted in the form of a goods delivery that is free of charge when a certain quantity is purchased. There are Two types of free goods :
1.Inclusive : The customer only pays for part of the goods ordered. The rest of the products are provided at no extra cost. For example, a customer orders  for 3 bottels but pays for 2 bottels  and 1 is supplied free .
2.Exclusive - The customer pays for the goods ordered, and also receives additional products for free. The materials delivered as free goods will not be the same as that of ordered onces. For examples customer orders 5 bottels , but will receive 1 Bottle opener free.
BOM : It consists  of 2 or more items combined and sold as an package : Example : Combination of 1 Tooth paste  + 1 tooth brush  packed as BOM.
The Higher level Material ( BOM) is  not relevant for pricing but relevant for picking : The tooth paste and brush is relevant for pricing  and also can be sold independently : The Item cat group of the Header BOM material will be ERLA  and for Tooth paste and brush material the Item category group will have TAN.
For more details , please refer to the  link below:

  • Difference between Free goods and normal items

    Where we have to create free of goods?.Is it in MM or pricing.
    Is it necesssary to stock the free material.
    If free goods also manufacturing in a same plant,how to handle in sales order.Because this item already created in MM

    hi,
    Instead of giving monetary benefits, the company prefers to give the free goods for the customer in the ratio of 1:1 occasionally.
    in standard sap, normal pricing procedure will be assigned to ur sales area Doc. pricing procedure (A) Customer pricing procedure, where as free goods also will be assigning it to ur sales area,but the document pricing procdure will be as C- denotes free goods.
    In sap, the free goods condition type is NA00, and even access seq. also will be Similar to condition type (it's ur wish to maintain like that), and the pricing procedure as NA0000.
    the transaction code for freegoods is VBN1, where u can maintain ur condition records, here there will be a two option.
    1. inclusive and 2. exclusive. maintain the records and save it.
    kindly check the item category TANN, there pricing relevance should be B- free goods.
    u have to maintain the free goods stock in ur plant. (its juz for transaction purpose).
    i hope ur problem will be solved.
    reward points if it is useful.

  • In OSX Activity Monitor, what's the difference between 'free' memory and 'inactive' memory

    In OS X Activity Monitor, what's the difference between 'free' memory and 'inactive' memory. My daughters 2Gb MacBook Pro is very slow, it probably needs more memory but there is almost 1Gb of 'inactive' memory but no 'free' memory when an application is opened.
    Thanks

    Free RAM is the one that has not been used by any application since you started up your Mac, and inactive RAM is the one that was used by an application and it is not in use anymore.
    1 GB of inactive RAM is a lot, and it may be the cause of the slowness. There are a lot of apps that allows you to turn inactive into free RAM. I use FreeMemory, but have a look at the Mac App Store.
    If you are a developer, you can do that with a command you can type into Terminal:
    sudo purge

  • RE: Difference between Trading Goods and Finished Goods

    What is the difference between a trading good and a finished good?
    My business contracts the manufacturing of surfboard to third party manufacturers. We then distribute the surfboards out as our product to customers. Would you describe our surfboards as a trading good or a finished good?
    Thanks

    First of all, I am not sure which is the right forum for this question
    Coming to your query, a trading goods can be a finished goods or semi finished goods but not all finished goods can be treated as a trading goods.  Hope you got the difference.
    From manufacturers point of view, whatever they produce and sell, it can be treated as a finished goods.  Whatever they procure and sell, that can be treated as a trading goods.
    thanks

  • Difference between free slack and total slack

    Hi
    I am using MSP professional 2010. I have a doubt in it how can differentiate free slack and total slack.
    While scheduling the project total slack is always same as the free slack in Activity. And always 0 at summary task level

    Free Slack is the number of days that an activity can have before it starts delaying the next (successor) activity.
    Total Slack is the number of days that activity can have before it starts
    delaying the whole project.
    If you look at the snapshot below ID 4 have Total Slack of 4 days but no Free Slack (as it doesn't have any intermediate Successor other then the last task of the Project which is driving the Project Finish Date) but Total Slack of 4days.
    Total Slack of 4d is showing that it has buffer of 4 days before it finally delay the over-all project finish date.

  • Difference between Condition: Good and Condition: Normal?

    I just got my Macbook in June, and it has already changed in my Power options from Condition: Good to Condition: Normal. The stats are:
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 4230
    Fully charged: Yes
    Charging: No
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 4262
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 59
    Condition: Normal
    I am trying to calibrate my battery for the first time thinking it may help, but is this something I should be worried about at the number of cycles I have?

    Hi cedowner: I beleive there has been a change in the wording from Leopard (10.5) to Snow Leopard (10.6) My MacBook Pro has the same wording, and it did change with the upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    Hope this helps

  • The difference between system restore and last good known configuration

    hi,
    what is the difference between system restore  and last good known configuration.
    in which situation you use system restore ,and in which situation you use last good known configuration.
    very short answer wil be enough.
    thanks
    johan
    h.david

    Last Known Good Configuration deals only with Starting Windows eg. a bad registry or incorrect driver is preventing Windows to start.It recovers the registry settings of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet
    While System Restore uses restore points to return your system files and settings to an earlier point in time without affecting personal files. Restore points are created automatically every week, and just before significant system events, such as the installation
    of a program or device driver. You can also create a restore point manually.You can undone system restore but there is no such option in Last Known Good Configuration.
    Last Known Good Configuration is disabled in Windows 8 or,Windows 8.1 by default.
    Try using Last Known Good Configuration if you can't start Windows, but it started correctly the last time you turned on the computer.
    Try using System Restore to return the system to an earlier point in time when things worked correctly.

  • What is the difference between delivery date and actual goods issue date?

    Hi ,
    Can you please tell me the difference between Delivery date and Actual goods issue date ?
    Delivery data can be be greater than goods issue date?
    Thanks,
    Ajay

    Hi Ajay,
                  Delivery date means its the original date on which the delivery should be done.Actual goods Issue date is the date on which goods to be delivered according to the purchase order.There can be delay in the delivery so we maintain 2 objects.
    Yes delivery date can be greater than Goods Issue date.
    Hope this clears

  • Difference between inbound delivery and Goods Receipt

    Can any one explain difference between inbound delivery and goods Receipt??

    Hi dear,
    Inbound delivery is one confirmation used to indicate the expected goods receipts in advance, so that the related process partners like warehouse personnel , planning personnel can utilise this data for initiation of actions and planning. Also , we can make this confirmation relevant to Planning in the customisation, to enhance the performance.
    In general , we need confirmations only as a kind of assurance/information , in absence of the goods.
    But if the goods are received physically , obviously we do not need any confirmations , we would perform the goods receipt .
    When working with Inbound delivery , the goods receipt is done with respect to specific inbound delivery( though not compulsary to do so) , so that the integration done in the system works to the advantage of the users.

  • Difference between varient configuration and super bom

    hi gurus
    i want to know the difference between varient configuration and super bom??
    i think as per my knowledge it is same.
    but my friend says  both are different.
    award points
    enjoy

    hi,
    Variant Configuration : You do not need to create a separate material for each variant of a product in your company. You can use one configurable material to cover all variants. You create a super BOM and a super routing for this material, containing all the components and operations for producing all variants of the product.
    Super BOM : The bill of material (BOM) of a configurable material contains all the components that are required to manufacture the material. The BOM contains components that are only used in specific variants (variant parts), as well as components that are used in all variants (non-variable parts).
    <b>This is why BOMs for configurable materials are known as super BOMs.</b>
    Thanks

  • Is there any difference between an unlocked and sim free iPhone?

    Is there any difference between an unlocked and sim free iPhone?

    I think in the context you're using, they are pretty much the same thing. The only carrier on the planet as of this writing with the CDMA iPhone, which does not use SIM cards AT ALL, is Verizon in the U.S.
    There is a difference between an unlocked iPhone and an iPhone sold without a contract, but still locked to a carrier.
    This list details all of the currently supported iPhone carriers. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
    Some carriers sell phones that are NOT carrier locked (i.e. SIM FREE). Some sell locked phones, but offer unlocking services for their subscribers. In SOME countries, unlocked phones can be purchased directly from Apple. Apple also sells locked phones, that do not require a term commitment with the carrier at what is usually the same price as an unlocked phone.

  • Difference between repetative manufacturing and discreate manufacturing

    Hi,
    Guru's
    What is the difference between repetative manufacturing and discreate manufacturing in product costing.

    Dear Manish,
    Repetitive Manufacturing 
    In repetitive manufacturing, master plans are typically created on a period and quantity basis (reduction in individual lot and
    order-specific processing). A quantity of one product is manufactured over a certain period. The product is processed in a constant flow and interim products are generally not stocked. In repetitive manufacturing, you usually find that the effort required for production control is significantly less than is required for single lot and order-based production control and the recording of actual data is kept simpler. Repetitive manufacturing can be used for various industries, such as the
    consumer packaged goods industry, the electronic industry, packaging industry, for example.
    You can use Repetitive Manufacturing purely for make-to-stock production, or in a sales order-oriented environment, such as found in the automotive industry.
    Discrete Manufacturing
    Discrete manufacturing is characterized by requirements that occur on an irregular basis and a workshop-oriented process.
    The Discrete Manufacturing scenario can be used in different variants, production by lot size, make-to-order production and assembly processing. The variants differ mainly in the type of planning conducted before-hand and in the relation to the sales order. Production by lot size is identified by the grouping of requirements into lots during requirements planning, and by planning with existing basic data. Production by lot size is independent of a particular sales order. Make-to-order production describes the production of a material with reference to a particular sales order. The manufactured quantities are managed, in terms of stock, directly for the individual sales order. They cannot be exchanged with the stock of other sales orders. Starting from the sales order, single-item planning can be allowed as far down the bill of material (BOM) structure as you like. Assemblies and
    components can also be procured for the sales order that generates the requirements, and managed in stock for this sales order. If the product is a configurable product, the system chooses a variant for the customer based on the characteristics that he or she selects. A sales order BOM can then be generated for the sales order. This BOM is used to produce the product.
    Assembly processing is a form of make-to-order production, in which the production order (assembly order) is created together with the sales order. In assembly processing the components for the product have, in general, already been produced. They only need to be assembled. The advantage of assembly processing is that an availability check is carried out for the components when you create the sales order. This increases the reliability with which dates can be confirmed
    considerably. Changes to the sales order are automatically also made in the production order and vice-versa.
    And also you can follow the below link to know more about REPITITIVE MANUFACTURING its a pdf document from help.sap.com
    http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/PPREM/PPREM.pdf
    One More Example
    Repetive is usually a continuos flow, good example is making 5000 tv dinners you know how long it takes to make qty1 very little defects or fall out and you always have everything on hand to start the run, you may also make the same run 2-3 times per month so a cost collector is ok all cost go to top level.
    Discreet, You do have falls out reworks and move into production missing materials, long lead time its essential to know what and where it is at in production, cost may vary a little but each production order will be costed independantly for review.
