Different routes in free goods

Dear Experts,
Is it possble to have different routes in the items with free goods..?
Material B is given as free goods with material A. Both are from same plant and shipping point is also same. Both materials have different transportaion groups. In the sales order if I enter parent material (A) then it's free goods material (B) also get the same route. moreover this field for the B material is grayed out and i can not change it.
If i enter B material then it takes the route as per the customization done i.e. as per the transportaion group maintianed in the material master.
Is there any way to solve this..? or is there any enhancement point i can look out for..??
thanks in advance for your valuable inputs..
Regards,
Vaishali...

HI,
As my per assumption through Free goods, it is not possible either to determine or customize diffrent routes.
If It is essential business scenario try the following option, it will definitly work.
1. Instead of Free Goods please incoropoarte SD BOM in CS01 transaction.
2. Do the Item category determination accordingly and propose TANN for the second item i.e free goods. So that the price will not be charged and cost can accumulated at header BOM level.
3. During BOM explosion in the sales order system will determine the header route to line item routes. But the route proposed at BOM item level is in editiable mode.
4. You can incorporate the check in user exit MV45AFZZ at line item and propose the new route for the BOM line items.
Thanks & regards

Bonus buy free goods: 1 for free

Hi colleagues!
I could not find the way how to create a bonus buy representing such conditions as: buy 2 pcs of A get 1 pcs of B for free.
It is very easy to setup conditions like: buy 2 pcs of A, get 1 pcs of A for free.
So, the question is: how to create a bonus buy giving to customer 1 pcs of bonus article if e.g. he bought another article.
I using this functionality in Promotion Planning process, but the condition handling, I think, is the same for all bonus buy usage cases.
I would be grateful for help,
Igor Malyshev

Hi,
don't get confused with bonus buy. Bonus buy is basically like - you buy 1 product and get the other product at a lesser price. This is bonus buy.
Free Goods:
Inclusive - buy 2 get 1 free. The main item and the free goods item are the same.
Exclusive - buy 2 & get 1 free. The main item is different than the free goods item.
So if you want to give free goods item different than the main item use free goods determination - EXCLUSIVE only.
Reward points if solution helps.

Free Goods of different division

Dear Gurus,
our sales department announced following sales promotion policy i.e. Buy one LCD (Division 60) and get one cemra (DIvision 30) free
we have successfully configured SAPSD free goods scenario, but at the same time we process one order for one division only. please note that for control purpose we have made our each product as division and same as credit control area
now as mentioned above free good division deviates from main item division, how can we cater both in one sale order. please note that in VOV8 we have maintained check division indicator 2(Error) and can not convert it in o or 1
please tell me how can we implement sales policy in SAP
BR
Sajida

Hi,,
please note that in VOV8 we have maintained check division indicator 2(Error) and can not convert it in o or 1
Even you removed 2 from document type then it will no impact on material division as it is only check purpose for more divisions can not be included in one document.
If you don't want to remove then system will not process material from more than 1 division.

Free goods of different material

Hi Experts,
I have mapped free goods scenario in our system.Its working well for inclusive and exclusive free goods for same material. i.e. If I have a material M1 ordered for 100 units I will get 10 units of the same material M1 free(Exclusive) and two line items generated TAN and TANN.
Similarly for inclusive condition,We have a material A1. If one orders 100 units of A1 he has to pay for 90 units only(TAN) and the remaining 10 units (TANN) comes for free.
Now I want to set up the system in such a manner that If the customer orders a material R1 of 100 units he will get material R2 of 10 units for free.
How do we do this setting? In NA00 itself? If yes please tel me the steps involved.
Regards,
Randhir

Hi,
Please find the info below.
1.      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: 'With material 1, material 2 and material 3 are free of charge' or 'If material 1 and material 2 are ordered at the same time, then material 3 is free of charge'.
2.      Free goods are not supported in combinations with material structures (for example, product selection, BOM, variants with BOM explosion).
3.      Free goods are only supported for sales orders with document category C (for example, not quotations).
4.      Free goods are not supported for deliveries without reference to a sales order.
5.      Free goods cannot be used in make-to-order production, third-party order processing and scheduling agreements.
6.      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

Free Goods, Samples in COPA

Hello Friends,
I searched quite a bit on FREE GOODS,SAMPLES (Outgoing), and how to handle the same in COPA, there were lots of threads on same, and few good ones. But i had some specific questions on same:
1) For Free Samples in Billing, its planned to do a sort of zero amount invoice (with some tax postings), hopefully the material cost will then flow to COPA through the VPRS condition type. Is there a way to route the VPRS values of scenarios like FREE GOODS, FREE SAMPLES to different value fields, and not the same value field which is used for Material Costs in the common billing scenarios.
FREE GOODS are those that are tied to some mail billing item, basically in those scenarios we have normal GOODS as well as FREE GOODS where as in FREE SAMPLES scenario, we just have free samples in the billing item, and nothing else.
Thanks
Balla

Hi
What you want is not the right way of doing it, but still it is possible in SAP
Either create a new cond type ZPRS as a copy of VPRS and use it in the Case of Samples... This means your Pricing Procedure needs to be changed in SD
ANother option is to use a Separate Bill Type in SD and use exit COPA0002 to move the Value from Normal Val Field to another in the case of Samples

Invoice split with Free Goods !

Hi All,
I am having a invoice split when i am generating a sales order with free goods.
Item category i am using is TAN & TANN
Sales order -> Delivery -> Invoice (it is splitting to 2 deliveries) and 2 items are getting billed separately, i want in one invoice.
Need help Please.
Thanks & Rgds
Naveen

Delivery split can occur when the following are different:
1. ship-to-party
2. shpping point
3. route
4. incoterms
5. transportation zone
etc
Delivery split happens based on not only on different shipping points,but it depends on your business logic which supports thru order to delivery copy controll.
at item category level.if you do not have different shipping points for multiple line items ,but if you have for example business logic of say "any line items with 10 tons and above gross weight' can be split into multiple deliveries.

Pricing procedure of free goods

Could anyone please tell me the effect of pricing procedure in free godds?And what is the difference between pricing procedure in free goods(IMG->Sales and Distribution->Basic Funcions->Free Goods) and pricing procedure in pricing(IMG->Sales and Distribution->Basic Funcions->Pricing)

Hi Wei Zhang,
When there are more than 2 materials say material A which is of some price, and material B which is Free of cost, then the item category will be different for those. TAN for Mat A and TANN for materail B.
Pricing is depends upon the customer pricing procedure and document pricing procedure along with the Sales Area.
When there are free Goods, Again yu have two conditions
1. Give 100 % discount on free goods.
2. Or charge 0 value for that.
This pricing procedure you can do in free goods priocing procedure.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Raja

Concept of Free Goods in Scheduling Agreement ?

There are two line items with same material but different quantities.
The user has given a price for both and created a SA.
Then the user comes to know the line item 2. is free goods.
So then he/she wants the net price of line item 2. to be zero.
In order to do so, the user went to item conditions and entered PB00 condition type as Zero value.
This was saved but the user was unable to do GR.
I tried to use Net discount condition type and gave 100%, it din't help to do GR.
I tried to create a condition record with free goods, it din't flow in SA, but it works with PO.
So guys, help me with this !!
Warm Regards-
Bharath Anandan

Hi AKPT,
Its true, removal of IR indicator will lead the price to be zero.
But in configuration, account assignment takes care of indicator IR & GR.
In my project, there is no account assignment which has GR & IR without check.
But Thanks for your info.

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.

Free Goods on NET Value.... not by quantity

Dear All,
In our company there is a unique scenerio:
There are three Material Pricing Groups : MC , CD , MP3. Now a particular Bulk Buyer wants that if he orders any items from the above Mat. Pr. Groups... then for 15 and multiples of 15 he will get a value discount on the invoice value.
For ex: customer orders 5 MC, 30 CDs and 15 MP3. Total is 50 and value before tax is say Rs.2050. Now, 50/13 = 3. The pricing should be (2050/50) * (50 - 3) = 41 * 47 = Rs. 1927

Your question is about Value discount whereas your subject line says Free goods.
Can you be more specific?
In sales transactions, Discount and Free goods are completely different.

Free goods determination & Free of charge Delivery

Hello Gurus,
Actually I have couple of queries regarding free goods.
1) Can we manitain free goods for BOM
Business Scenario - I have created a BOM "ABC" at Main item level (ERLA) with components B, C and want to give 2 different Items X, Y as free goods other that sub components. So is it possible to assign TANN itm catg with TAQ, will it work ? what will happen with taxes for free goods?
Tool Kit, ABC----(TAQ)
                 B -
(TAE)
                 C-----(TAE)
                 X------(TANN)
                 Y------(TANN)
if not possible what will be solution to map the above scenario ?
2) How to maintain the Free of charge pricing procedure?
                       I maen what condition types should we maintain into the free of charge pricing procedure control data (V/08)? If there is a standard pri pro for Free of charge delivery plzz Suggest to me.

Hi,
1. Application of Free Goods in BOM is not posible. Moreover Free goods attract zero value only the material document is updated.
I can suggest you to use the process "Rebate of a Kind" where in you can manually enter the subproducts as free goods only thing is you will have to mention main item lineno in the higherlevel item categor of the sales order.
Though i tried long back the requirement you need, it will not work the best way is to give manually in SO.
2. Free sample maintain seperate process i.e, Document Type, item category Pricin Procedure.
For Configuration please check Img -->SD --> BF --> Free Goods --> Condition Technique free goods
-- Better you maintain "C" Document type while doing determination.

Free Goods Quantity

Dear SAP Guru's,
I have a query my user needs to prepare the report in that report he needs to identify actaul quantity and free quantity.
conditions are:
1. in free goods/ sales promotion scenario business offerd some free of cost materials to customer (free goods exclusion procedure) in this scenario business wants to prepare a report free goods quantity against actaul sales quantity.
Thanks,
Hussain.

Hello,
Item Category in Sales Documents for Normal Goods & Free Goods is different.
Thus with help of ABAPer you can develop a Z-Report which can fetch the required data based on Item Category of Sales Documents.
Hope this helps,

Tab Condition - Free goods in PO

Hi All!
I made all the settings to use "free goods" facility (tcode MBN1 - every time I buy one material I have to buy a second material, different from the first). The only problem I have is that in ME21N for the second material (the "free" one) the tab Condition is missing.
I understand that is the standard functionality - but there is no user exit/BADI/ customizing settings to make in order to:
1. automatically purchase the second material when the first is purchased
2. have the tab Condition both the first and the second (the free one) material.
Thanks.

Not a chance?
Let me know if there is no possibility to do this. Thanks allot.

Settling Rebate through free goods in R/3

Client is producing halogen and CFL lights for home and office use. Client is making sales through dealers and distributors in market.
Sales regions are: North, South, East, and West.
Sales Sub regions: Delhi, UP, Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal and so on.
Promotional Schemes:
1)     Monthly:
a.      Quantity targets are given for month on achieving free goods are given
b.     No Credit Memo
c.     For example, on sale of 1000 pcs of 20W CFL in one month, 50 pcs of 15W CFL free.
d.     Mostly product based schemes as to promote particular line item
e.     Different schemes for distributor and dealers (divided on basis of customer group)
2)     Quarterly:
a.     Similar to Monthly with difference in time frame which is of quarter
3)     Secondary (On basis of points)
a.     For each qualifying product, points are awarded. On accumulation of points free gifts or goods are provided for different level of points
4)     Annual:
a.     Annual discount on basis sales amount irrespective of which products sold.
Key Points:
1)     All calculations are done on excel sheet using sales report from SAP i.e. to find the qualifying customer.
2)     Later scheme is settled by creating free of charge sales order in SAP of zero prices.
3)     Same product can be part of two schemes one on distributor level and other on regional or national level.
4)     No credit memo is issued to settle schemes.
Question: Can we map this process through rebates or any way sales such that the schemes can be created and list of qualifying customer is calculated in system itself? Later, it can be settled through free goods rather then credit memo?

Already solved. Item Catgory settings and Downloading R/3 customizing to CRM
