Free Goods at group level

Currently Free Goods is only working at the line item level (per SAP only line item level). Is there a way that Free goods are determined based multiple line item quantities?
Example scenario: Free goods issued based on product hieracrchy.
Master condition: 2 units free, if customer buys 10units product line XX
Item: 10 with Material YY, Product line XX, Quantity 8 Units - No free goods determined
Item: 20 with Material ZZ, Product line XX, Quantity 7 Units - No free goods determined
However, the both items above belong to the same Product hierarchy. SO customer is eligible for 2 Units free.
SD experts, advise how this can be configured in standard R/3.
Heard that this functionality is available in IS-Retail. Can IS-Retail be switched on just for this purpose? What R/3 functionality gets affected if IS-Retail extension set is activated?

Hi,
The way IS retail works itself is different to a normal SD process. In IS Retail in a single screen we can determine how we want to give the free goods , Bonus buys, variants which is not the same way in SD. It helps, to go through the documentation for the merchandise category, aritcle masters to understand it further in IS retail. In standard SAP, this is however not flexible.
Pl reward if it helps.

Free Goods : Category/Group wise

Hello Experts,
Greetings.
I have a sincario where by we give the freegoods on category basis.for ex.combination of (5-6) material codes will make one category/group.Our condition is that if customer pickes 25 cartons of that particular category,he is entitled to get 1 free carton as a free goods.
As per the sap standards,it works 1:1 ration only.
Is their any other way whereby we can give free goods based on category/group basis?
Help would be highly appriciated.

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for the response. What's being used as amount in my free goods condition type is not the selling price but the total discount. Please see example below.
ZR02     Price-Regular     777.50
     Price                 777.50
     Total Parity                 0.00
     Net of Parity                 777.50
Z006     ML Disc 1                 5.000-%
     Value 1                 738.63
Z007     ML Disc 2                 1.000-%
     Value 2                 731.24
     Value 3                 731.24
     Value 4                 731.24
     Value 5                 731.24
     Value 6                 731.24
     Discount 1                 38.88-
     Discount 2                 0.00
     Discount 3                 7.39-
     Net Value for Item     46.26-
NRAB     Free goods                          46.26
Instead of having an amount for free goods equal to -777.50 what's being used as amount is 46.26 (positive)

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

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

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 for QT order Types

Can I use automatic Free goods determination for QT order types.
however i am using it for OR right now and i have done the related configuration for QT as well but system is not detmining Free Goods for QT order types.
I have also maintained the below entry in "Determine Item Category for Free Goods Item"
Sa Type ItCGr Usg. HLevelItCa DfltC
QT NORM FREE AGN AGNN

Hi
Std SAP itself doesnt support Free Goods at quotation level
Standard SAP supports Free Goods at quotation level and hence the item categories AFNN and AGNN are provided in the standard SAP. But, the Automatic determination of Free Goods is not possible for SD documents under category other than 'C'.
In your scenario...since the automatic determination is not possible, think about handling the functionality manually or through user exits.
Thanks,

Free Goods Determination in Sales Order
Free goods has the following limitations:
- 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.
- 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.
4.6x
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.
WC07 - Maintain Number Range Intervals

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.

We need to maintain the fields of Item, Free Goods Item, Min. Qty, Buy Qty & Free Qty. When the customer buy item A, the item B is free of charge. It's apply to all customers.
But now, the management want to skip some customers that they don't need to give the free goods.
Where can we maintain the setting of the Free Goods in Customer level?

Dear Jack,
(1) You can transaction code VBN1 with condition type NA00
(2) Goto Key combination
Here you can select relevant customer and material / article.
Hope this info will be useful.

Free Goods not getting Determined at the Order Level

Dear All,
I have activated free goods settings and also maintained free goods master record for exclusive free goods.However when I am entering the main line item the second line item in the sales order which should contain the free qty is not coming,please advice what needs to be done.
Kind Regards
Atul

Hi Jelena,
Thanks for your post with this I could find out what was happening.The following is the analysis once I switched on the free goods determination at the order level and below was the system response.
Diagnosis
 There are certain business transactions where it is not possible to
 determine free goods in the SAP standard system: reason 3
 Explanation of reasons
 1 Document category is not from sales order category (VBTYP <> 'C'
 2 Lower-level item
 3 Bill of material
 4 Product selection
 5 Configurable item
 6 Scheduling agreement/forecast delivery schedule
 7 Item with active ingredient management
 8 Item without schedule lines
I had found that in my item category the structure scope was marked as A where it was exploding the single level bill of material.Once this configuration was turned blank which is no explosion the free goods were getting determined.
Kind Regards
Atul

Hi,
if you want to give free goods from other group it can be possible only for EXCLUSIVE free good type
In exclusive free goods, a material different from the orignal material can be specified as the free goods.
Example: A customer who buys 200 crates of beer, gets 5 boxes of glasses free.
In VBN1 >> Exclusive
See column ADD FREE MATERIAL
While creating Sales Order what Quantity (Gallons/No./Ltr) to be put?
Maintain alternative units in material master >> Additional data >> Material master,BUT it is only main item
Those item u want to give free that items unit is derived from free goods condition record and it CANNOT be change in order

Free good item proposal by considering material group

Hi,
I have some requirement to set up free goods by material group.
For example:
Material 1 - Drink 1 1500 ml.
Material 2 - Drink 2 1500 ml.
Material 3 - Drink 3 1500 ml.
If customer buy either Material 1 or Material 2 or Material 3 10 Each, they will received free goods 1 Each. How can I do this?
As I have maintain customized key combination for free good condition record material group wise i.e. in "NA00" and maintained condition record for free goods master by material group but in sales order entry, system will consider free goods by Material Code not Material Group.
Like the above scenario, is it possible that a sales order of
Material A1 - 3 pieces
Material A2- 5 pieces
Material A3- 2 pieces
will propose me a free goods item for 1 piece since the qty sums up to 10.
Can the above requirement be configured in SAP??
Please help with your valuable inputs and suggestions in std SAP.

Hi carlos
I think in free goods it is not possible . we can fulfill your requirement through bonus buy functionality.
But bonus buy works in IS -RETAIL . It doesn't work in SD .
If we have to fulfill our requirement then we have to go for enhancements

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?

Standard and free goods item category

Hi
I have created one standard materia XYZ. in MM01( for Sales org 1000/ Dist. channel 10/ plant 1000.) and i have assigned TAN to this . Now i also need to process XYZ as free goods in some transactions.If I extend this material for the same organizational levels and assign TANN to my material XYZ. then at the time of creating sales order how the system will respond?
Or should i have to change the item category in VF01 every time when i want to give XYZ as free goods?
what should be the right procedure?
Regards
Jyoti

Hi Jyoti,
You mentioned that some times you send it as free item for this you better to enter TANN item category manually in the sales order no need of enter the item category in the VF01.
Before entering the TANN in the sales order for free item you do the itemcategory determination in VOV4 transaction with TANN as like this
Document typeItemcatogory group-->Default itemcategory(DfltC)as TANManual item category as TANN(Mltca).
Now you can able to enter TANN itemcategory manually in sales order.
I hope it will help you,
Regards,
Murali.
