Free Goods Problem in Sales Order

Hello All,
The problem is related to Free Goods in Sales Order which is given with an example -
We have maintained Free Goods ( T Code - VBN1) in inclusive scenario which is as follows -
For 210 PAC (Pack) of Material A 18 PAC Free.
Where 1 PAC = 20 BT (Bottle) and 20 PAC = 1 CV (Case Pack)
In the material master of Material A the Base Unit Of Measurement (UOM) = PAC and Sales UOM = Blank so that we can use any conversion factor maintained for the material.
The conversion factors maintained for Material A are as follows -
1 BT = 1BT
1 PAC = 20 BT
1 CV = 20 PAC
Now when we are raising sales order for 11 CV the free goods are not generated in the Sale Order.
Again if we maintain the Sales UOM in CV and raise the sales order it is showing :
10 CV as main item and 1 CV as Free which is wrong because in the conversion factor we have already maintained 1CV = 20 PAC , Whereas in the inclusive scenario it is given 11CV = 210 PAC and 210 PAC = 18 PAC is free.So in any case it is taking into account 2 more PACs.
Please suggest what need to be done in this case in respect of SD / ABAP(if needed).
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra

Yes Priyanka
This is a very interesting and a challenging issue or question
I think because of the prorata calculation type the extra 2 units is coming
This logical error has happened to me too
Inclusive 210 units means we have defined as 192 + 18 in VBN1
But the system determines the free goods in sales order as 190 + 20 that means there are 2 units which are going free than what has been maintained as condition record
But system converts our logic into its own thro that calcultion type PRO RATA which is the main culprit here
So it requires ABAP help
This qn should be awarded points (unfortunately i am not able to do so)

Assorted Free Goods Problems in Sales Order

Hello All,
The problem is related to Assorted Free Goods Pricing in Sales Order.I have two queries which are provided below with example:-
In the sales order I am giving 2 Line Items. -
Material A & Material B of total quantity 10PC Then 1 PC of the Material C as 3rd line item
in the sales order is populated which is maintained as an assorted free good having Manual Free Item Category for eg. ZFV5.
Similarly line items A & B combined of 10 PC = 1 PC of Material C having Manual Free Item Category for eg. ZFV5.
Again if 10 PC of Material A or B are chosen respectively = 1 PC of Material C having Manual Free Item Category for eg. ZFV5 .
_Now I want to configure the following**_ -
1) The system will include the cost of the Assorted Free Good Item within the Main Item.
2) While raising a Sales Return Order for the above mentioned Sales Order it is observed that the manual free item category ZFV5 is changed to the Return Main Item Category whereas I want the item category to be picked up is Return Free Item Category against the Manual Item category .
Now considering the above scenarios please suggest solutions to attain my requirement.
Looking forward to some valuable suggestions.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka

Hi Priyanka
As far as what i understood from your post your requirement doesnt seem to be possible in standards
If you want the cost to be transferred to the main item then in VTFL at item level there is a check box of cumulative cost
That has to be ticked
Constraintsin free goods in R3
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: u2018With material 1, material 2 and material 3 are free of chargeu2018 or u2018If material 1 and material 2 are ordered at the same time, then material 3 is free of chargeu2018.
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.

Pro Rata Free Goods in Return Sales Order

Hi,
I would like to know if the system can automatically propose the Free Goods in the return sales order when created with reference to the billing document.
The Billing Document has a
Main Line Item -- 100
Free Goods -- 10
and when a returns sales order is created with reference to the above billling document, the system displays both the above line items in the returns order and if the customer is returning only 50 the requirement is the system must automatically propose 5 free goods once the mail line item quantity is changed by the user.
Regards
PJ.

Kindly let us know how you are giving free goods manually or you are using MATERIAL INCLUSIVE OR EXCLUSIVE
If you are doing it manually then in return order it will not determine it
If you are using MATERIAL INCLUSIVE OR EXCLUSIVE then it should determine automatically
*Free goods - In SAP there are two types Exclusive and Inclusive.*
Exclusive - Buy 100 and get 10 free. This means you have to buy minimum 100 pieces then on that you will get 10 piece absolutely free.
Inclusive - Buy 100 get 10 free. In this case it means you are paying for only 90 item and the other 10 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.

Delete Free Goods Item from Sales Order Return

Hi Gurus!
Could you help me with my question below?
Version 6.0
We created a sales return with reference to a billing document containing a standard item and an inclusive free goods item.
During sales order processing we are trying to delete the free goods item and system does not allow us to do it.
Example:
Item         Mat              Quant.
10            AAA            10 bx              (Standard)
11            AAA             2 bx          (Free Goods u2013 Inclusive) -> Try to delete this line.
In our business customer can return any box/quantity and we need this flexibility to create returns with reference to both and one separated item.
Do you know if it is missing any configuration o if there is any Note for this topic?
Tks in advance for you attention.
T.Guimaraes

Hi,
Free goods is determined automatically in the sales order so you cant delete it manually.
Generally free goods are determined on particular quantity.
Like for every 10quantity you will get 2free.
So if you reduce the quantity of the main item then you free goods will automatically go.
This is the one way in which you can do that.
Other way is that create the new document pricing procedure and assign that one your return document type in VOV8.
Then go to IMG u2013 SD u2013 basic function u2013 free goods u2013 condition technique for free goods u2013 activate free goods determination.
Over here check whether your free goods is activated for the newly created document pricing procedure or not.
If yes then remove that entry and save the setting.
Now create the sales order and check out whether free goods is coming or not.
Please assign the pricing procedure also for your newly created document procedure for your return document otherwise there will be no pricing the return document.
Regards
Raj.

Free Goods in Multiple Sales Orders

Hi,
I have one scenario, so please help me out.
If customer orders 10 items, he gets 1 item as free item. But if he orders those 10 items in more than one sales order not in single sales order then how the customer will get the 1 item as a free item?
Thanks,
Satya

Hi Satya
Your Qn needs clarity
If i have understood it correctly this cannot be mapped in SAP R3
Free goods like material A and B if bought together then Material C is free cannot be done in R3
Like that 10 different materials bought and 11 th material should be free and if this is what you are asking
not possible
OR
Normal 10 pens + 1 pen freee
But in a single order i will not put 10 units it will be spread out to 4 or 5 orders and when cumulatively the total fig becomes 10 units then 1free unit should trigger
If this is what you want and this cannot be mapped as Free goods in R3
Because free goods are sales order based or document based and you cant spread the qty to 4 or 5 documents or 4 or 5 orders and it is meaningless
But this can be handled as a rebate in R3

Raja

Alternative Free Good determination in Sales order

Dear Gurus,
We activated Free Goods determination. We are maintaining condition records in Tcode VBN1. We are creating the condition records using the fields Sales org, Distribution Channel and Sales Office. Condition record specifies the free good material and its quantity for main material with specified quantity. As of now, It is working fine and it is picking up the free good material correctly at Sales order if we create line item for main material.
As per the new requirement, if the free good material is not available in the stock, it should pick up other alternative free good material for the main material. Mean to say, we want to configure free good determination where we will specify two free good materials for one main material, then system will pick up one of the free good materials for main material in Sales order.
Ex: Main material : A
1st Free good material : F1
2nd Free good material : F2
If the stock for F1 free good material is not available then system should pick up F2 free good material automatically.
I have tried to map the another Free good material for main material in the same condition record, but system is not accepting to proceed further.
Kindly suggest what I need to do, what configuration is required. Please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks
Chandra Mouli

FYI - Neel & Chandra Mouli
Substitution strategy in Material Substitution: Reason (TCode OVRQ ) controls whether product selection should occur automatically in the background or whether the alternative materials should be offered for selection in a dialog box. So, this product selection in the background is performed on the basis of the availability check.
The substitution reasons are entered in the master records for material determination.
Kindly test & share your feedback.

Account Determination Error When Posting Goods Issue Against Sales Order

Hello SAP Experts,
We are currently experiencing a problem during goods issueance against sales order (VL02N). The system terminates the issueance and gives error:
"Account XXXXXX requires an assignment to a CO object".
We have tried maintaining the GL account in OKB9 and assign a default profit center there but i didn't work. The material master also contains the profit center. We were only able to post the transaction if we try to default the a cost center in FS00. However we dont want to assign a default cost center as cost centers differ by plant. We are wondering why it asks the cost center considering that it already contains the sales order assignment. We checked the field selection of the GL account, movement type and even the posting key and all showed that the cost center is not required. We are now in a dead end situation here. Please please help us.
Thanks in advance!

Dear,
Message no. KI235?
GO TO T-CODE FS00 AND EDIT COST ELEMENT AND THEN YOU ASSIGN COST CENTER
Please check this link,

I have a problem regarding sales order line item with confimed quanity

Hi Experts,
I have a problem regarding sales order line item with confimed quanity with '0' with delivery block but confirming the sales order quantity once the order is released from credit check.
The situation arises as per the below scenarios.
Scenario - 1 - When the sales order has two line item - one line item with confirmed qunaity in the schedule line and for the 2nd line item there is no available stock for the Material xxxxxx.
Initially the sales order is created for the line item 2 with confirmed quantity = 0, and having the delivery block = 01 for the Material xxxxxx and the order is set with credit check. Once the order is relased from the credit check. The quanity for the item 2 where the confirmed quantity will be = 0 ( Where it is not changing the confirmed quantity)
Scenario -2- Updating the order qunaity for the line item 2 as (9Pcs) it will goes to credit check and save the order.
Maintain the stock for the line item 2 ( 5 Pcs).
Once the order is released from the credit check. Then for the line item 2 the confirm quanity will be seting to 5 Pcs with Delivery blcok 01.
This should not happen, When the credit check is released even though if it has stock based on the delivery blockl it should set the confirmed quanity to Zero.
Can you please help me how to solve this issue.
Looking forward for your reply.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
I agree with your point. In the sales order When the complete delivery check box is enabled where the confimed qty is set to zero, it is fine but when we save the orderr it goes to credit check. Once we release the order using VKM3 where in the sales order the confimed quantity is setting to 5, But it should set to Zero quantity. Quatity should not be get confirmed it should be Zero Quantity.
Further in SPRO - customizing in the deliveries blocking reasons - It has a tick mark in the confirmation blcok. But we dont want to remove the - Confirmation Block tick mark
Please any one can help me if you have any solution to solve this problem.
Thanks and Regards.

Condition Period Problem in Sales order - Need help

Hi Gurus
I am testing Sales Order back dated
Condition period Problem in Sales order
example for you to understand
Sales Order where PO date is 17.12.2007
Del Date & Price date is 13.02.2008
Then it is not calculating IN: A/R BED %IN A/R BED totalN A/R CESS [1621]
But if i do it after 14 feb 2008 then it is calculating IN: A/R BED %IN A/R BED totalN A/R CESS [1621]
When I do it with current date it is calculating IN: A/R BED %IN A/R BED totalN A/R CESS [1621] say date is 9-5-2008
I am not able to trace out problem, kindly help me from where I do I check and why this is happening.
Rajesh Chalke

Hi,
I am not sure if this solves your problem, but I am suspecting that this might be due to the 'valid on date' of the condition records created for the relevant duty condition types.
Since it was a recent regulation and VK11 usually defaults current date as the valid date, that condition record may have been valid only from the recent date on which it was created.
Check the date in VK12 (To find the exact selection parameters, check the pricing analysis in the sales order which will display the exact condition record which is being selected as of current date.) Check for the same parameters; change the date to relevant date in the past and recreate the sales order. Hopefully this should solve the issue.
Cheers,
KC

Problem in Sales Order with specific condition type.

Hello Experts,
I'm facing a problem in sales order creation for a specific condition type.
the actual scenario is as below,
We have created a new condition type for special discount.This condtion type is applicable only for specific sales channels.Also the discount percentage has to fetched from a custom table.
To achieve this I've written a user exit "RV64A999"
In the FM, i've calculated the subtotal and fetched the discount percentage and calculated the discount amount. After implementing this, the SO were been created properly. for all the line items the discount amount was getting calculated properly.
But then I added a condition at the top of code in exit that the calculation for the new condition type should happen only for selected sales channels.
But after adding this condition in code, i'm facing problem. Now when I create/ change any SO, the discount amounts are getting calculated incorrectly. I'm getting discount amount even if the line item subtotal amount is zero (0).
Any help or pointers reagrding this issue will be very helpful and highly appreciated.

Hi ..
Check your config. again or debug the routine code with your ABAPer and find the problem area.

Rounding off value problem in sales order

Hi All,
This is related to a rounding off value problem in sales order.
The problem is described by an example which is as follows -
Selling Price of Material A = Rs. 176.76
Excise charged = Rs. 21.80
Total Price = Rs.176.76 + Rs.21.80 = Rs. 198.56
On this total Trade Discount (ZDTD) having access sequence,is calculated at the rate of 4% = Rs. 7.94
But the condition base value after the discount is showing Rs.198.60 instead of Rs.198.56
I want the system to reflect the value as Rs.198.56 intact and it should not round up to the nearest value i.e. Rs. 198.60
Why is this happening? Is it possible to reflect the exact value? If yes what is needed to be done?
The commercial round off is activated for the DIFF Condition Type.
Looking forward to some valuable suggestions.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Ramesh,

How to do Goods Issue from Sales Order Stock?

Dear All,
we are doing a trading Scenario & based on customer requirement we procure the goods from our vendor & we receive it to Sales Order(special) Stock. Now what are the settings to be done in the Sales/Shipping so that when we do a delivery for our customer the Stock is Issued from our Un-res Sales Order Stock & not from un-res stock ?
Hope its clear.
Regards,

Hi Sam,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
Sorry for not explaining the scenario in the begining.
See I have to configure a trading Scenario with some changes from the std.
As in trading Process there are 3 entities.
1. Customer - X
2. Company - Y (Who performs trading)
3. Vendor - Z
Following is the breif requirment.
Company Y generated an inquiry in system for an item with respect to customers RFQ. Now since Y doesnt manufacture the product(item) it creates a PR in background with respect to inquiry.
Based on this PR, Y procures & receives the good into Un-restricted Sales Order Stock (with ref Inquiry doc no:).
Now based on price Quoted by Z, Y will create a Quotation with ref to inquiry & finally a SO for Customer - X with ref to the Quotation.
Now at the time of delivery (creatd with ref SO) system is not able to issue the goods from the sales order stock since the stock is stored with ref to inquiry no: & delivery is with ref to SO.
So I am planning to simulate a cycle by creating a delivery & PGI with ref to Inquiry.
If you can suggest a way out, it will be highly appreciable.
Hope its clear.
Regards,
