Hi,
The constraints for free goods in SAP are as follow
Constraints
Free goods is currently only supported on a 1:1 basis. This means that an order item can only be
the source of one free goods item. This means that agreements involving relationships such as
'Buy material 1 and get material 2 and material 3 free of charge' or 'Order material 1 and material
2 together and get material 3 free of charge' are not supported.
Free goods is not currently supported in combination with material structures (e.g. product
selection, bills of material, variants with BOM explosion).
Free goods is currently only supported for sales orders with document category C (not for
quotations, for example).
Free goods is not currently supported for deliveries without reference to a sales order.
Free goods is not currently supported for make-to-order production, third-party order processing
and scheduling agreements.
Hope it helps you.

Free goods by header net value not Quantity

Regards
My client wants to make a sales promotions as the free goods SD. The difference is that free goods should not be given by the bought quantity of certain material, they should be given from the header net value of an order.
For example:
If a customer have an order with header net value of 100$ from only materials that has certain material pricin group, it should receive one free good.( All the materials in the order have the same material pricing group)
If a customer have an order with header net value of 200$ from only materials that has certain material pricin group, it should receive two free goods.
If there are ways to make this happen please let me know i would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Hi ronald,
The userexit option is very tough to do.
You are using a right userexit, but how are you coding it? Whats your design and flow?
The BDC are programmable recordings of a standard transaction. Hence you will be able to record the way in which you add a line item to sales order. Ths recording is automatically converted into lines of code by SAP. Then you insert your checks and balances between these lines of code to make it behave the way you want the sequence of transactions to work.
My thought was to make a recording of adding a new line item, in change sales order transaction(va02), with item category as Free of Charge(FOC). Then in the code, I wanted to check for material pricing group, if found correct, then would go finding the net value of sales document. If the value is above the limit, calculate the target quantity. Then follow the rest of the recording and add a new line with FOC as item category.
But this was a seperate transaction, which could be applied seperately and not to be done automatically in sales order. This was becuase say if you switch off the promotion tomorrow, then you will not have to worry abt removing the same functionality from sales order, you just need to de-activate the transaction.
Then there would be issues of doing hardcoding the net value limits, free good quantity in the user exit which is not at all recommended.
Hope this helps.

Create Free Goods in CRM Standalone

This question is for Paul.
Thanks Paul for your reply to my other question yesterday and I did award points. However, since I am using a standalone CRM there is no way for me to replicate any free goods condition type from from ECC.
My question is, if I have a product A and product B in the CRM standalone system, what configuration I need to make so that when I enter product A in my sales order, product B will be added to the next order line as free goods?
Your input is appreciated.
Leon

Hi Leon,
There is no need to create separate free goods materials/products in CRM. You can make use of the existing materials/products as free goods by assigning appropriate free good condition records. In general free goods master data like materials and pricing condition records can be downloaded from R/3 into CRM. You need to do only the necessary free goods customizing activities under SPRO > CRM > Basic Functions > Free Goods > Setup Free Goods
Please refer to the below SAP help document on free goods for complete understanding : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/b7/4a893a8729337be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm

How to deal with the issue of craeting Billing for free goods

Dear All,
Now I met with a question for free goods, generally, it's not need to create billing for free goods. But I had used COPA and the profitable document is generated while creating billing. So my question is that how to create billing for free goods. Please give me some suggestions. Thanks a lot.

Dear Robert,
The following steps you can do for the Free Goods(samples).
1.Define new pricing procedure for Free goods through copying the existing procedure.T.Code V/08
2.If you don't want taxes remove the Sales tax related condition types.T.CodeV/08
3.Add R100 -100% Discount Condition type to make total value as "Zero" place R100 condition type after the total value.T.CodeV/08
4.Define new sales document type and billing type for the Free Goods process.T.codes VOV8 & VOFA
5.Assign document pricing procedure as C-Free goods for those sales document tyep and billing type.
T.codes VOV8 & VOFA
6.Define account key seperately for Free Goods and assign that account key to the pricing condition tyep and R100 condition type.
7.Determine the Free goods pricing procedure with the combination of sales areaDocument pricing procedure(i.e C-Free Goods)Customer pricing procedure.T.code OVKK
8.Do the G/L account assignment for that new account key(Single G/L account for price and R100-100% discount).T.Code VKOA
9.Maintain condition record for the R100 condition type as 100% with sales document type as one of the key combination.T.code VK11
Now when you create Free Goods order system will pick the Free goods pricing procedure(Value with zero)with refernce to that order you can create delivery then do the free goods billing ,and release to accounting with two postings one is credit-price second one is debit-100% dicount.
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

Unable to cancel Billing due to cleared accounting document for Free Goods

Hi,
I have a case as described below:
I.                    SALES ORDER CREATION
Transaction VA01 à Sales order is created for the following details:
1.       Material Normal (TAN) : 100 CAR
2.       Free Goods (TANN) : 10 CAR
II.                  Subsequent processing of sales order
a.       Delivery(1) and Billing (1) creation for the SO with the following details :
Material Normal (TAN) : 100 CAR
Free Goods (TANN) : 5 CAR
Status of accounting document after releasing billing document to Accounting: Not cleared
                Accounting Journal:
                A/R                                                                     xxxx
                Sales discount                                                     xxxx
                                General Domestic Sales                                        xxxx
                                VAT u2013 Out(TAX)                                                    xxxx
b.      Delivery (2) and Billing (2) is then being made for the leftover item of the Sales Order:
Free Goods (TANN) = 5 CAR
Status of Accounting document after releasing billing document to Accounting: CLEARED
Accounting Journal
Dr. Sales Discount                                        xxxx
                        Cr. General Domestic Sales                  xxxx
III.                Reversal of Billing (2) needs to be done
Activities conducted:
a.       Go to VF11 and enter Billing (2) document number
b.      Execute!
System response:
Error Log:
1)      Data inconsistency during processing of document xxxxxxx
2)      The Billing Document xxxxxxx is already cleared
From the error found, we tried to reverse the cleared accounting document by using t-code FBRA:
System response:
Document xxxxxx IS NOT a clearing document
Question:
We have to reverse the clearing document first in order to cancel the related billing document but we keep finding this error, do Anyone have any advice to solve this issue?
We have simulated similar transaction in IDES and no problem is found, is there any specific setting in customizing that can allow cancellation of billing document regardless of its accounting document status (Cleared or Not Cleared) ?
Thanks in Advance,
Indro

Thanks a lot for the reply,
It answers my question, I found the copying requirement using routine 029 was defined in the cancellation document section of the Billing type to be cancelled
After removing, the billing document can be cancelled
Thanks,
Indro

Billing Split for Free goods.

Hi,
The free goods functionality combines the line items( normal material and the associated free good) in the SO as one delviery group.
My requirement is that once a SO is created which could be a mix of free goods and normal items, we should be able to split the invoice for these items. The SO and delivery should be done as the standard process only and no splitting should happen for SO and the delivery but only for invoice.
I checked the VTFL screen but with no success.
So the basic question is : can we add splliting rule for billing based on Delivery group present in delivery. (LIPS- GRKOR).???
thanks.
Edited by: jatin pahwa on Jan 13, 2009 3:22 PM

Hi,
You can do it in copy control creating your own copy routine from delivery to invoice at header level in VOFM. In the new routine you have to fille tke field VBRK-ZUKRI with the field GRKOR and the system will combine all the items withe the same value in VBRK-ZUKRI and split the items which have different value in VBRK-ZUKRI to second invoice. You have to assign the routine in VTFL in Data VBRK/VBRP at item level. You can base your routine on standard routine 001 Inv.split (sample) which has example of filling the field VBRK-ZUKRI.

Marcin

Free Goods Billing & Posting

Hi
Anybody can help me to configure the Free Goods Sales Order, Delivery and Billing. For Indian operations due to VAT the free goods value should be displayed in the invoice. But it shouldn't post to accounts.
How can I do that ?
Thanks
Christine

hi
1.Run trans. VBN2 to first create master record for free goods as follows:
Enter following information in selection screen:
- Free goods type: NA00
- Sales org, distribution channel, customer # and execute.
Now in next screen create the record as follows:
- First select the exclusive button and verify that you are in exclusive view.
(that is if you want exclusive)
- Material#, Min qty - Say 34 cartons. (check in what units you want to manage)
From: 34 cartons
unit of measure:
Free goods: 12 Pcs
Unit of measure: Pcs
Calcualtion type: 1 or try the other options
Deliver control: Blank or any of the other options suitable to you.
Now save and exit.
Now run VA01 for 34 cartons and press enter. The system will automatically propose the free goods
item at no additional charge. Try higher order qtys and see if the free goods qty are scaling up.
If not adjust the calculation parameters in the master record screen
It should be transaction VBN1. Sorry for the error.
VBN2 is to change the record. VBN1 creates it.
Rewards point it helps

Free goods with materials having BOM

I have defined a free goods procedure and assigned it but get a warning message as below. It doesn't give free goods at the sales documents because the paid material has a BOM. How can I come over this problem and give free goods with the material including the ones with BOMs?
Thanks in advance.
Message no. V1684
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

hi,
Go thru this details
"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."

Dear All,
Need value suggestions in business scenario.
While issuing Free goods to customer in excise billing ,Net value of ZTNN item showing negative
Inserted R100 % condition type above Tax condtions.
MRP is statistical and accessable value is calculated on MRP.
How to solve the above issue.
Due to the Net value showing negative for Free of charge in excise billing,qty value displaying twice the unit price value in printing
Thanks & Regards
H V Kumar.

Hi
It is depends on your pricing procedure how you defines.
Kindly check once again in your pricing procedure.
Test the cycle once again without entering the R100 condition type in sale order line item and check the next value.
After enter the R100 condition type check the base value to calculate the Amount.

Free goods intercompany but appear under non billed shipments list

Hi Expert,
I've created an interco PO, GI and DO for a free good item. By right it shouldn't appear under non billed shipment list as it is FOC but it appears. When we try to create invoice, system doesn't allow says, it is not relevant for billing.
i'm not sure why it appears under non billed shipments list in the first place. by right it should stop at DO. How to solve this?
Thanks,

Free goods against multiple materials

Hello
I have a customer who would like to do the following;
if a customer orders any of the following materials
material(1)
material(2)
material(3)
material(4)
in multiples of 3 for example;
1 x material(1)
2 x material(4)
or
1 x material(1)
1 x material(3)
1 x material(4)
Then the customer should receive a free product.
1 x material(1)
2 x material(4)
1 x FREE PRODUCT
Is it possible to do this in Create Free Goods transaction in SAP R3
Thanks
Jamal

What is the purpose of giving the same material as second line item.
specify in the first line item itself.
or els the condition record which you have specified that for 100 material of A gives 10 material of B modify it to 10 of A should give 1 material of B
The first you will be useful for you.
