Free goods pricing procedure

Hi,
I need to  configure the free gods functionality and I look for clarification from those who have configured it . My questions are.
1) how does the system determines while creating sales order that free goods are involved.
2) for main item,  if the item category is TAN, then for exclusive free goods the item category will be TANN ? Is the following combination ok for free goods item category detemination ?
OR + NORM+TAN(higher level) +FREE(usage)=TANN......where TAN is the item cateogry of main item
3) How is the free goods pricing procedure works. ?? I mean do we have to define  the basic price condition PR00 in the free goods pricing procedure so that the system applies the basic price to the main item  ? for example if the main billable qty is 10, and per unit price is 100, then the basic price will be 10*100=1000 for the main billable items in the free goods pricing procedure.
now if free goods are 2 (exclusive), then the system shows in the pricing line item a basic price of 2100=200 and then a condition R100 is shown as a negative amount of 2100= -200 so that net value is zero ??
4) I think when the material is entered, then the system reads the free goods master record and then determines the main item category for billable item and then free item category is determined and then pricing is carried out
pls validate my above points ?

Hi
Yes, there will be only one pricing procedure for free goods and normal goods.
Free goods procedure is to determine the free goods condition records (maintained through VBN1) and now way related to pricing.
Pricing procedure is to determine the price for each line item based on the conditon records (maintained through VK11).
As an example- there is free goods conditon record for a material as 10 + 2 exclusive and hence for an order quantity of 10 you can see a second line item for a quantity of 2 as a sub item with item category as TANN.
The pricing happens the same way for both the line items and you can check that in the conditions tab of each line item.
While carrying out the pricing, system goes to the first conditon type in the pricing procedure and if it satisfies the requirement then accesses the conditon records and picks if there is any valid conditon record. Like wise, it checks all the condition types in the pricing procedure. In this process it also checks the conditon type R100 and the requirement will not be satisfied for the first line item and hence will not determine any value. In the case of the sub item with TANN item category, the condition records will be determined as happened for the first line item and also the R100 will be determined. Because, the reqirement for R100 says, the pricing details(in VOV7) for the corresponding item category(which is TANN) should be B-Pricing for free goods(100% discount). TANN satisfies this conditon and it determines the total amount here, making the net value as zero. If there are any values below the R100 condition type in the pricing procedure, then the net value will not be zero. Hence positioning of the R100 condition type has importance in designing the pricing procedure. If you change the value for TANN in VOV7 from B to X, then R100 will not be determined even though the free goods are determined in the sales order as sub items. The pricing happens the same way to both main item and sub item (free goods).

  • Free Goods Determination Procedure

    Can anyone simply tell me free goods determination procedure with an example?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Free goods is something that the customer is given after he buys certain quantity of the product/material.
    Free goods is a strategy to increase sales volume by luring the customer that if he buys 10 products one will be absolutely free.
    Free Goods:Goods that are given as additional goods as part of the ordered goods are called as free goods.Here the unit of measure of free goods should be the same as standard goods.
    Example:If you are are ordering 10 maggi sauce bottle you will be paying for only 8 bottles 2 is given as freegoods.
    price will not be reflected in pricing or billing.this is inclusive freegoods
    Exclusive freegoods.
    wherein the freegoods are given as additional good to that of the ordered goods
    Example:For 4 coffee vending machine 1 kg coffee powder isgive as free goods
    Sample goods:these are the goods which are given as pert of the promotional activity to increase the sales.
    here the customer is not paying money.
    Free goods - In SAP there are two types Exclusive and Inclusive.
    Exclusive - Buy 2 and get 1 free. This means you have to buy minimum 2 pieces then on that you will get 1 piece absolutely free.
    Inclusive - Buy 2 get 1 free. In this case it means you are paying for only 1 item and the other item is absolutely free.
    Configuration:
    IMG - Sales & Distribution - Basic Functions - Free Goods - condition technique for free goods -
    1. create the condition table.
    2. maintain access sequence and assign the condition table to the access sequence.
    3. maintain condition type and assign the access sequence to the condition type.
    4. maintain the procedure for free goods and assign the condition type to the free goods procedure.
    5. Activate free goods determination. In this enter sales org., dis channel, division , docu pri pro, cust pri pro and the free goods procedure.
    6. now go to VBN1 - create free goods determination. Select your condition type, key combination and enter. Here you enter sales org, dis channel, customer no., Valid from and Valid to dates. Then you first select whether it is exclusive or inclusive free goods determination. By default it will be inclusive if you click on exclusive it will become exclusive and on top it will display inclusive. Here you enter minimum quantity for free goods and from what order quantity the number of free goods. You can control the delivery also in the second last column(free goods delivery control).
    Save the record. Go to VA01 create the sales order , enter the item and the minimum quantity for free goods to be applicable and observe the results.
    Hope this will solve ur problem.
    Plz reward Pts for useful answer.

  • Use of Number range in Free goods determination Procedure

    Hi,
    Can any body tell me that why we use number range in free goods determination procedure & where it was assigned.
    Thanks & Ragds......
    rashmi

    Hi,
    This facility is provided just to differenciate your free issues documents from normal sales documents and nothing much. This means if you want to make a report depending upon free issues number range then you can get the results as per the free issues number range. For example if you customer has been doing business in various countries and each county wants specific number range for their documents then you'll use an exit which will assign the required number range specific to the country.

  • Free Goods Pricing Problem

    In our pricing procedure we have R100 and NRAB condition types.In sales order we are giving free goods(Exclusive).Now in condition tab for the free goods line item the value is showing as followes
    PR00- Rs 150
    R100- Rs 150(-)
    Net Value - 0
    CST- 4.50
    Net Value with Tax 4.50
    Rounding Off   4.50(-)
    Total value - 0
    So for this line item Net Value is coming Rs  4.50(-) and Tax is Rs 4.50.
    In header this value is adding or subtracting from the value of main line item and showing the final value.
    So how can i make the net value and tax 0 for the free goods item, so that it will not affect the total value of the document.
    Regards
    Jyoti

    Hi Jyoti,
    In this scenario you can use below pricing procedure.
    Step 10- PR00.......................................................................100 Rs
    Step 20  Gross Price..............................................................100 Rs
    Step 30  CST (calculate on Step 20) From 20 to 20....................   8 Rs
    Step 40  Net Value( From 10 to 39)...........................................108 Rs
    Step 50- R100 (From 40 to 40)..................................................-(108) Rs
    Step 60  NRAB........................................................................
    Step 70  DIFF..........................................................................
    Total       .................................................................................   0 Rs.

  • Free Goods Pricing Error

    Dear SAP Gurus,
    I have configurde the Free Goods as Exclusive and accordingly kept the condition records. When I am creating Sales Order, I have given the first line item as 1482 and when I entered
    , the second line item automaticaly vame with item category TANN. Everything is fine up to this. I have kept price in VK11 for the material 1482 and 1483 is the free material.
    At the time of creating Sales Order, it giving the error as "Pricing error: Mandatory Condition ZPR1 is missing"
    I could not find out any solution for this. Please help in finding the solution for this.
    Thanks,
    Jans

    Hi Jans
    Your free goods configuration is something like buy 10 pens and get one pencil free
    Free goods are picked by R100 condition type with requirement 55 and aternate base value formula 28 in the pricing procedure
    Free goods are represented with item category TANN with pricing as B in VOV7 which measns 100 % discount
    This means the price of the pencil is to be maintained as condition record in VK11 for the condition type  ZPR1 (in your case) which will be picked by the system and nullifies it with 100 % discount
    This is missing from your end (this is my guess only)
    Without knowing the price of the second material 1483 how the system will give 100 % discount for it
    Soln is
    Maintain the condition record for the condition type  ZPR1 in VK11 for the free material 1483
    Hope this may help you

  • GATP in APO and Free Goods Pricing Records in R/3

    We have set up Free Goods in SAP R/3. These free goods are granted based upon a series of access sequences in pricing.
    We also have our Order Entry system using GATP on our APO box. In that APO instance, we have set up a large number of product substitutions to occur at order time.
    When an item is ordered that is NOT subbed to different item by APO and that item has Free Goods associated with it, the Free Goods are granted by R/3 and placed onto the sales order.
    When an item is ordered that IS subbed to different item by APO and that item has Free Goods associated with it, the Free Goods are NOT granted by R/3.
    Why are the Free Goods being ignored after the substitution? We have Free Goods records in pricing for BOTH items, and neither one is granting the Free Goods.
    Is this a bug, a feature, or an oversight ?
    Any help in this area will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

    Hi John,
    GATP in APO does not supports Free Goods.

  • Free Goods Pricing Scale

    Hello SD gurus,
    We want to implement the following price model for our Client.
    Our approach is to include Base price and Free goods with it to achieve this
    Pricing Requirement:
    * As per the Business process of Client - the Material equipment is Wheelchair.
    * On the order of Wheelchair, First 4 wheelchairs are always free irrespective of the total ordered Quantity.
    *Price per wheel chair is 20USD
    *Brief Description is mentioned below in the tabular form-
    Units in Item
    Price (in USD)
    1
    0
    2
    0
    3
    0
    4
    0
    5
    0
    6
    20
    7
    40
    8
    60
    9
    80
    We tried to implement free goods determination with the help of NRAB and ZA00(copy of NA00) condition types , however, it was found that till first 9 ordered quantities, the basic price is calculating the ordered quantity with respect to 20USD, however, the deviation occurs in NRAB condition type (Reqt =59, Alt condition base=29) from the 10th quantity onwards.
    We already checked by maintaining Minimum quantity =4 , From=5,no. of free goods=4 in the free goods condition type.
    Still it did not worked and reflected the variation in terms of the net value (Basic price - free goods price)
    Finally we again created a negative condition type (Discount or surcharge) FREE with the calculation type -fixed amount, wherein the condition record  ,  we fixed the value as 80 USD (20 USD per unit price X 4 minimum free quantities) and found that the system is calculating -80USD for the free goods with respect to the minimum quantity of 4 or more - which is so far correct.
    Request you to kindly give suggestions for the scenario wherein -
    If the quantity is 0-3 ie less than 4 , the system should populate the price as ZERO as part of the first four free goods concept. Unfortunately our solution is not catering to this specific requirement.
    Request your inputs to implement this scenario.
    Thanks and regards,
    Tarun Jain
    SAP SD.

    Hi Tarun,
    This can be met by using free goods functionality itself.
    It will be an inclusive free goods scenario.
    The easiest way will be to have a new free goods calculation routine (in VBN1), the routine will have logic like, fixed 4 quantity free always when the free goods condition is triggerd.
    Try that, discuss with abaper for the routine creation.

    2.you need to maintain the condition records( tcode: VBN1) and maitain the data as mentioned
    above(check Notes 2 sheet)
    3. if you don't want the free goods item to be created, then you need to add the NRAB condition type to the pricing procedure(document pricing procedure not Free goods pricing procedure) and need to maintain the condition record for this

  • Usage in Free Goods Item category Determination

    Hi,
    I have configured the Free Goods and it is working fine and I had to utlize the SAP standard Usage "FREE" in the Free Goods Item category determination as per the below:
    Sales Doc Type    It.Cat.Grp.     Usage   HLevItCat.  DItemCat    MitCat
    ZOR1                    NORM           FREE        ZAN1         ZANN
    ZOR1                    NORM                            ZAN1         ZANN          TAX
    I know this "Usage" is available in CMIR and I don't find it in any other places. So, if any materila for which there is no CMIR, then in that case where should I use this "Usage"? Because I want to change the standard SAP Usage "FREE" to "ZREE". How can I change it and assign it? Please guide me.

  • 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,

  • Free goods return

    Hi,
    I have a typical problem while doing return of free goods.
    I made copy control settings from billing to order (free goods invoice into returns order),  it is working ok untill this time ,  it is copying all the free of charge items into returns order from the referenced invoice as it is.  
    1) As the customer returned freegoods the returned order also should have zero pricing and zero credit note billing.
    But in the returns order it is determining the returns order pricing procedure with value, but the business does not want this way.
    2} I also did in a different way this time in the copy control (billing to order) to reprice the pricing elements - now after this it picked up correctly the exact price conditions as it is from the free invoice  into return order with net value of the order becoming ZERO.  But as the item category determined was that of the returns,  it gave net value zero in the incompletion error for the order and could not move forward.
    3) I did in one more way,  In the item category determination for the returns order type - I gave the 'free goods item category' as Mnlcategory apart from the returns item category being the default. After this I went and changed the determined return item category in the sales order to that of free goods item category manually. After this automatically
    the pricing got changed to that of free goods pricing procedure. But after this the return order does not go to delivery at all saying order is not relevant for delivery. So this solution does not work.
    So can you please suggest me how this requirement can be achieved ?
    Hope I am clear if not you can get clarified again.
    Regards,
    Murali

    Hi,
    This may be fine for this case,  but as explained earlier the same item category is being used when you are doing the normal returns without any reference (stand alone returns).
    So how this will tackle if you remove the pricing indicator totally?  I need to complete the return order as usual but with zero pricing- only when it is referred to free goods invoice and when stand alone returns (or) when referred to F2 value invoice, in these cases the returns will be with value.
    Please get back to me with your answers.
    regards,

  • New Access Sequence for Free Goods Determination

    Hi Guru's,
    I Have  a scenario wherein i have to maintain the free Goods Condition records in VBN1 with a new access sequence namely Customer/Distribution Channel/Plant/material.
    I have maintained all the necessary settings such as Free Goods Activation for Item Category, Assignment of free goods pricing procedure to my sales area,Positioning of R100 condition type in my pricing procedure with relevenat routines.
    At my Sale order level after maintaining the free goods condition record in VBN1 in new access sequence, my free goods determination is not happening and at the sme time if i maintain it in the standard access sequence i.e. in Sales Org/Dist.Channel/Customer/material the free goods are getting determined.
    Can anybody help me out in this..
    Regards
    Bhushan

    Hi
    There arew 2 things to be done or checked
    1. Position your access sequence before the standard one by giving step nos accordingly
    2.In the existing sequence check for the exclusive indicator in the standard sequence and i think that is ticked in your case
    Hence after getting the condition record in the standard sequence the system stops searching for the new records in your new access sequence
    If that is the casethen remove exclusive indicator from the standard one and tick the same in your new access sequence
    By this you can get the condition records of your new access sequence without positioning
    Pls reply whether mu suggestion has helped you

  • Free Goods and Excise

    Hi Friends,
    I have a scenario as
    My client gives some free goods as free items in order. But these free items are excisable....so how do configure this scenario.
    Where for customer it is free goods, but for company point of view, company has to pay the excise duty to authorities.
    Kindly guide on the same.
    Thanks in advance
    Shailesh

    Dear Shailesh,
    You can do like this,
    1.You can define different pricing procedure for the FREE goods.(T.code V/08)
       ->In the Free goods pricing procedure you maintain Excise related condition types(T.code V/06)
       -->You maintain R100 condition type for 100% discount after the total value.(T.code V/08).
      -->Maintain seperate Account key for R100-Condition type, also assign same account key to the Price condition type (in Free goods pricing procedure only)
    Maintain same account key for the Price condition type and R100 - condition type.(T.code V/08)
    2.You define Different sales document type for FREE goods processing. (T.code VOV8)
    -->You assign document pricing procedure C-Free of charge to this sales document.(T.code VOV8)
    3.You determine the Free goods pricing procedure in OVKK transaction for this combination.
    Sales areaFree goods Document pricing procedure(i.e C)Customer pricing procedure--->free goods pricing procedure.
    4.When you do the Free goods process customer account should not get effet to avoid this ,you ask FI people to create seperate G/L account to post the Free Goods process values.
    In VKOA transaction you assign free goods G/L account for R100 -->Condition type account key with other key fields(same G/L account For sales revenue and 100% discount).
    Maintain the Condition record for R100 condition type with 100% in VK11 transaction
    Now when you create Free goods sales order system will pick the Free Goods pricing procedure in that pricing Excise values and Price will come  but Total value will zero due to 100% discount.
    When you release to accounting
    Excise values will posted to the respective G/L accounts.
    Price and 100% discount will posted to the respective Free goods G/L account.
    Note:- Make sure that you have done the CIN configuration settings regarding Excise duty.
    I hope this will help you,
    Regards,
    Murali.
