Free Goods Record Maintenance Problem..

Hi Experts,
I found a strange problem while I was creating free goods record in VBN1. I found though I was creating an exclusive free goods record but in the back end a record is creating automatically in Inclusive as well with the same material. After creating the Exclusive free goods record if you save it end then enter with the change mode then you can see a record automatically created in inclusive as well though it has no impact in sales order.
Please explain me the reason.
Regards,
Jeetsap

Hi,
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.
Free goods is currently only supported on a 1:1 basis

Free goods and availability problem

Hi folks,
I have a scenario like this
Sales order is created on 1st nov for 200 tooth paste for which 100 brushes are free (2+1free goods). At the time of delivery on 15 nov you have shortage of orders by 40. Offer closes on 15th nov. How to solve this problem.
Inputs are appreciated.

Hi,
I think you can do this by putting validity dates "from and to" by selecting you Exclusive type condition type in "V/06".
For further assistance please go through the link below

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 Quota

Hi SAP Expert,
Does SAP Free Goods functionality supports allocated quantity?
We are using SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 3.0
Let me take an example.
We are running a promotion of Buy 1+ Get 1. We have a budget of 100 Free Quantities.
It should work on First come first serve basis
For every free quantity system should check the avaialble quota of free quantity. Once it reaches 100 Free Qty system should not include free line item in sales order.
I would appreciate your reply.
Thanks,

Hi,
1. First create a new material for free goods. By copying the existing material u201CXXXXu201D and add u201CXXXX-Free Issuesu201D in the description
2. Create a schedule line category u201CZPu201D by copying u201CCPu201D and remove tick for TOR. Assign u201CZPu201D to TANN in VOV5 (Do not use CP since TOR is activated in CP)
3. In SPRO> SD> Basic Functions> Availability Check & TOR> Availability Check> Availability check with ATP logic> carry out control for availability check
Make sure that Check box u201CIncl. Sales Requirementsu201D is checked (To address Available quota)
4. Create a new access sequence with a table Sales Org/Dist. Ch/Sales Document type and assign it to the condition type NA00 (To address First Come First serve condition)
5. Using T.Code:MB1B and Movement type 309= Transfer posting material to material post the required quantity to free goods stock.
6. Maintain free goods records in VBN1 by pressing u201Cexclusiveu201D button. Maintain record with Actual material and free issue material.
Once the free goods quantity is exhausted, system will not confirm the schedule lines for free goods item. You have to manually close the condition validity end date in VBN2.
Check this and revert back in case of any clarifications.
Hope this helps.

Free goods - system picking wrong free good

Dear All,
I have defined free goods record in tcode vbn1 for the combination of
1) plant and material
2) division and material
We have maintained different free goods for different record.
While creating sales order system is picking free goods from the second combination , instead of picking from the first combination (even if we mention the particular plant).
Can any one guide me what are the settings i need to maintain, if system has to pick the first combination.
Regards
Shammy

Hi shammy
check the for what key combinations you have maintained 1st of all
i think as you said the key combinations are
plant and material
division and material
in MMR for the free goods check wheather division and plant has been assigned or not .
If you have not assigned division then it will check for the plant/material key combination free goods material and vice versa

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)

Problem with posting free goods delivery

I need some help,
when I'm posting the goods issue in VL02N I'm receiving following error:
<i>Item   Material           Description                                   Delivery qty UoM Batch

       E KO 014
Order 2000574 cannot carry revenues</i>
First I don't know why the order no is 2000574 when the delivery was done to order 2065030645, but it's not a problem to me, the problem is why I'm getting the error 'the order cannot carry revenues' because the delivery is made to an free goods order and the order has values of 0 in pricing conditions.
Looking forward to reciving some help

Martin

Hi Marcin
Check the following:
Free Goods
Also referred as discount in kind. Business can consider to offer discount not in monetary terms but in the form of free goods, ie goods provided without any charge when a particular quantity of material is purchased by the Customer. SAP provides two methods:
a)     Inclusive
b)     Exclusive
IMGSDBasic functionsFree Goods
Condition technique for free goods
Select maintain Pricing procedure
Standard procedure
Copy as ur Pricing procedure
Copy all
Save
The Pricing procedure contains the Condition Type as NA00free goods
NA00 has the Access sequence as NA00
Select activate free goods determination
Assign the procedure to sales areas using document procedure and customer procedure

By default the entry screen is for Inclusive, Select Exclusive button to maintain Condition Record for Exclusive

Add= The unit of measurement of free goods item

What is the other requirement?
The pricing procedure should contain the Condition type R100 that is free goods condition type. This condition type in the Procedure has requirement as 55
(55 means only if the item is free goods then only value of R100 to be used in the calculation. Value= controlled by Alt condition base value 28 which states that discount should be 100%)
Check whether your pricing procedure is created from scratch then you have to maintain the Condition type R100, requirement as 55 and altcbv= 28
If you have copied from RVAA01 there is no need to maintain R100, as it is already available
Create the order
Ordered qty is split into two items
M1               30 Pcs
This will be split as
M1          27---Item cat TANregular pricing

A problem with return order with free goods

Hello
I am working on ECC 6.0
I am facing a problem with the return order the case is I created an order of 1000 pc with inclusive free goods (w/o item generation) condition record that for every 10 pc over the 100 the customer will take 1 free pc
1 pc = 10 $
100 pcs = 900 $
120 = 1080 $
the problem when I am creating a return order with 30 pcs the system calculate the price as if there are free goods the system returns the 30 pcs with 270 $ instead of 180 $ and it should not calculate the free goods because the remaining items are 90 pcs that should not take a free goods discount
Regards
Jacopo Francios

hi ,
Such scenerios can be tackled by different pricing procedure in return scenerio.
See Pricing procedure Depends on sales area + customer pricing procedure + Document pricing procedure .
So for Return document type please maintain different pricing than the normal scenerio this will solve ur problem.
This is generally done also for tackling such scenerios.
Thanks & Regards

Return of Free goods item - Problem in item category

I am trying to create return order of Free sample billing
(ZFDP). The return order type for the free sample is ZFDR.
We have specified Item category for the ZFDR is RENN (Free good item) in IMG Activity -> Assign Item categories.
When I create order and save it, it prompts me to enter G/L Account.
This material is free. It should not prompt G/L Account for it. There is no revenue recognition specified for the item category. I tried changing item category to ZKLN i.e Free of charge item. This item category does not prompt for G/L Account while creating order. but I can not use this item category because it prompts me for Avialability. I can not remove the Avaialabilty check for it because the same item category is used in the Free sample order where availability check is required
In ZFDP order type, we are issuing 100% discount by using R100
discount condition. Please let me know how can I solve this problem.
I think there is some problem in my item category itself. .
My setting for Item category in IMG - Define item category is
same for both ZKLN and RENN. Only difference is RENN has returns
tick and pricing field is blank. In ZKLN pricing is defined as B- 100%
discount. I also tried changing the pricing option of RENN to B.
But still it is asking for G/L Account.
I can not use ZKLN instead of RENN because my ZKLN is used in the
Free item Sales order.
Please help.

Where i am wrong?
Uts

HI,
Have maintained the values in
*Spro-Purchasing-Discount in kind-Define & assign discount in kind schema-Maintain free goods schema*
It will be available in standard SAP if not do the following configuration
Here
Usage -N
Application -M
create procedure NR0001
In control data
step-10
Cond Type-NR00
Then save.
Next
Define free good schema
Here assign ur schema grp of vendor
Then assign the procedure created previously (i-e) NR001 & THEN SAVE.
The above configuration is very important for the free goods scenario to work.
Then go to MM and in purchasing view and give the value 2.
Then in MBN1 create the condition record for the IR -0.
Then create the PO it will work definetly.

Free goods condition records - Usage in Sales Order

HI,
I have so many condition records in various KOTN9xx tables, which are for issuing free goods. If I see a sales order item, that is a free good, how do I know, on what basis (based on which condition record, in which condition table) that free good was issued?
Technically speaking: Similar to KONV table for storing transaction data on pricing, is there a table for storing transaction data on free goods?
Thanks,
Juwin

Find the table number of the key combination of customer / material . & you can extract free goods condition records from this table.
Search in SE11 with the table number.

Value-added tax problem about free goods!

Hi All,
I've got a value-added tax problem.....
Can anyone can come out with a solution.
Here is the Business Scenario....
One product company offen give some free goods to its customer company for test or probation. In pricing, the free goods have no income so that the value-added tax is zero, but by the law, the product company must pay the VAT(value-added tax) base on the cost of the free goods.
How to implement this in SD R/3 Scenario...
Can any one of you suggest me a solution for this plz..
Regards,
wang-yuzhen.

Hi,
You need to bring in a consition type "VPRS" in your pricing procedure. The VAT will be determined based on this condition type. VPRS is a statistical condition type. That means eventhough it appears with a value it will potentially not be displayed in your invoice. The invoice value will be 0 and there will be no account posting for this condition type

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.

Raja
