Free Goods, Samples in COPA

Hello Friends,
I searched quite a bit on FREE GOODS,SAMPLES (Outgoing), and how to handle the same in COPA, there were lots of threads on same, and few good ones. But i had some specific questions on same:
1) For Free Samples in Billing, its planned to do a sort of zero amount invoice (with some tax postings), hopefully the material cost will then flow to COPA through the VPRS condition type. Is there a way to route the VPRS values of scenarios like FREE GOODS, FREE SAMPLES to different value fields, and not the same value field which is used for Material Costs in the common billing scenarios.
FREE GOODS are those that are tied to some mail billing item, basically in those scenarios we have normal GOODS as well as FREE GOODS where as in FREE SAMPLES scenario, we just have free samples in the billing item, and nothing else.
Thanks
Balla

Hi
What you want is not the right way of doing it, but still it is possible in SAP
Either create a new cond type ZPRS as a copy of VPRS and use it in the Case of Samples... This means your Pricing Procedure needs to be changed in SD
ANother option is to use a Separate Bill Type in SD and use exit COPA0002 to move the Value from Normal Val Field to another in the case of Samples

Free Goods & Sample

Hi Gurus,
Plase letme know what is the difference between Free good customization and Sample Customization....

hi Ravi Kumar,
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.
SAMPLE -
sample is normally given to a new customer. We give customer a sample of our finished item, the customer will use it at his/her site and if approved then he will start ordering for the finished item. You give samples to existing customers also when you come up with a new product and you want to sell it to your old customer.
For sample it is like free of charge delivery. Sales document type is FD. The item category for FD item is KLN and it is not relevant for pricing. so when you create the sales order in VA01 you will not get any price.
I hope I have answered your query. Please reward valuable points if solution helps.

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.

Free goods and order types

Hello,
1) If company is providing free goods, then will it be associated for order type or with pricing condition.
for e.g. On purchase of 100 qty. if 10% foods are free, then how is this associated.
2) Also if i want to provide free goods only for a particular customer group, lets say wholesale, then how will it be associated
with pricing conditions and order type.
Regards

Hi,
There are two cases:-
1.Ur company is providing free goods as a sample.
2.If some customer buys some quantity of product u provide some free goods with it.
1st Case:-
if u want goods to b send as a free sample then u can directly use TANN item category with doc type or .
2nd Case :
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.

Tax on Free Goods

My customer receives free goods (samples) from vendors. They are flagged on the PO as Free. This deletes the Invoice required flag. There are some countries that require taxes on these item. They want to enter the follow up invoice with MIRO referencing the PO, but they cannot post, as no items from the PO have invoice to reference. They use trasaction FB60 as a work around. Does anyone have a better way to enter the invoice with reference to the PO, preferably using MIRO.
thanks, Jim

Hello,
In sales process, Usually the at the time of Delivery, material document is created as
DR COGS
CR INVENTORY
But in the case of free goods or bonus goods or samples: the account should not determines COGS instead it should determine another GL Account called as Free good -COGS expense A/c.
How can we solve the issue.

Hi Yasar,
You need to create a new routine for calculate type.
Do as below:
1. Go to VOFM>Formulas>calc.rule Rebate InKd to create a new routine for calculate type. for example 601.
2. add the following code in this routine 601 and then save.
USING L_FRM STRUCTURE KONDN_FRM.
DATA: VORKOMMA LIKE KONDN-KNRMM,
NACHKOMMA LIKE KONDN-KNRMM.
L_FRM-NRMENGE = 0.
L_FRM-NRRUND = 0.
L_FRM-NRMENGE = ( L_FRM-MGLME / L_FRM-KNRNM * L_FRM-KNRZM ).
business rounding
VORKOMMA = FLOOR( L_FRM-NRMENGE ).
L_FRM-NRRUND = L_FRM-NRMENGE - VORKOMMA.
L_FRM-NRMENGE = VORKOMMA.
3. Select routine 601 in field "Calc.Rule" when you create free goods condition record.
Hope it helps.

PO Print of Free Goods

Vendor has send free goods but excise duty and freight, etc we have to pay.
If I put free item tick in the PO, the condition tab disappears. I cannot enter the basic price and any other condition in the PO. therefore tax and other conditions cannot be calculated.
In the PO Print we have to print the excise duties and other conditions. Currently it is not coming in PO print.
How we can print the excise duties and other conditions in PO for the free goods.?
What I have to tell to ABAPER.

Hi,
In case of free goods provided by vendor, create a free PO but need not to take the printout of same and sending it to vendor because in case of free supply of materials (for e.g. samples), vendor doesn't seek any PO document. We create free PO, its for system adjustment.
Just check this with your client, if its really needed then ask your client to maintain Pricing details in Item Text and try to print the same as Remarks in PO Printout, this requires ABAP effort.
And during GR against PO, enter Excise Base Amount, Excise Duty, Ed Cess and SECess manually and post it.

Tax Calculation of free goods

Hi
We have a requirement where the client wants only VAT to be posted in GL accounts and not the price.For this I tried free goods condition type R100 with AltCBV 28.But the VAT value is also coming zero. I want the VAT to be calculated on Pricing condition and then give 100% discount.
Apart from this I also tried to make pricing condition statistical and calculate VAT on it but then also system gives zero value for VAT.
Also wondering if the scenario can be addressed with Free of Change Dellivery.

Hi
Normally in scenario where you are dealing with samples , there are cases you have to charge only TAXES / EXCISE part.
Here my SUGGESTION is you can handle this through a simple sales order process, where you have to configure a new pricing procedure.
1. Create a new document type to handle samples.
2. Create a New pricing procedure where you can keep the basic price condtion as Statistical and rest all same as wht is is there your main pricing procedure. Just juggle with the TO-FROM to capture the TAX part in the total.
3. Doc pricing procedure will help you to pick the new Pricing procedure
4. Now Process this as a normal sales order
5. This new document type will help you to have a proper reporting.
The only constraint here is USER has to punch a fresh order seperately for such scenario. He cannot give a free good in the same sales order which is used as standard.
The other way is you can configure a FREE GOOD Determination procedure as suggested where you need to then have your Single pricing procedure accomodating the same scenario.
Thanks

Cost(vprs) of free goods with batch managment

Dear Gurus,
I have a problem ahout free goods with batch management.
Cost(VPRS) is not accumulated in billing(free goods is not relevant for billing).
My configurations are shown as below:
Ordered goods (and batch) item category :zta1(copied from tan)
Free goods (and batch) item category :zann (copied from tann) pricing:B ;not relevant for billing;dermination cost:X
copy control(from delivery to billing):
ztan: accumulation cost :X
If I use the material without batch management,Cost of free goods(without batch) is accumulated to main item(ordered goods).
So, what can I do?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Lykin Kan

Hi,
These notes are useful:
SAP Note 1365939 - VPRS logic and Customizing settings in SD
SAP Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing
If you have the problem in the transfer from SD conditions to CO-PA, check if you transfer only invoices to COPA, if you don't invoice the deliveries of free goods, then you don't transfer this 'sales' or costs of 'gifts' to COPA. You can check the customizing of COPA in tcode ORKE (IMG for COPA). SAP Note 74486 - INFO: Overview of consulting notes for CO-PA is a good summary about this issue.
I hope this helps you

Eduardo
PD: I forgot SAP Note Number 33968 SD/CO-PA: Characteristics from sales doc tables

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.
Regards

Free goods are not copying in credit memo from invoice

Dear Gurus,
I have made a invoice having two line items 1.normal goods with sale price and 2.free sample goods(part of promotional scheme) without any sale price.
but while making credit memo for receiving goods back in cancellation of invoice , i am facing problem for free goods. system is not copying the free goods in credit memo and copying only normal goods.
what can be problem for not copying? whether i am following some wrong procedure or some configuration is missing.
please advise me with your valuable suggestions.
Thanks in advance
Parag

hello, friend.
first of all, the free goods are not relevant for credit memo since the customers never paid for these in the first place.
however, i observed that after cancelling the invoice, you still issued a credit memo? this may not be the proper process. when you cancel the invoice, entries into the customers Accounts Receivables are reversed as well (we are assuming no payments are posted yet). so there is no need to issue credit memos.
if you are referring to another process, please clarify the same.
regards.

Free goods determination & Free of charge Delivery

Hello Gurus,
Actually I have couple of queries regarding free goods.
1) Can we manitain free goods for BOM
Business Scenario - I have created a BOM "ABC" at Main item level (ERLA) with components B, C and want to give 2 different Items X, Y as free goods other that sub components. So is it possible to assign TANN itm catg with TAQ, will it work ? what will happen with taxes for free goods?
Tool Kit, ABC----(TAQ)
                 B -
(TAE)
                 C-----(TAE)
                 X------(TANN)
                 Y------(TANN)
if not possible what will be solution to map the above scenario ?
2) How to maintain the Free of charge pricing procedure?
                       I maen what condition types should we maintain into the free of charge pricing procedure control data (V/08)? If there is a standard pri pro for Free of charge delivery plzz Suggest to me.

Hi,
1. Application of Free Goods in BOM is not posible. Moreover Free goods attract zero value only the material document is updated.
I can suggest you to use the process "Rebate of a Kind" where in you can manually enter the subproducts as free goods only thing is you will have to mention main item lineno in the higherlevel item categor of the sales order.
Though i tried long back the requirement you need, it will not work the best way is to give manually in SO.
2. Free sample maintain seperate process i.e, Document Type, item category Pricin Procedure.
For Configuration please check Img -->SD --> BF --> Free Goods --> Condition Technique free goods
-- Better you maintain "C" Document type while doing determination.

Sathya

Free goods problem

Hi,
I require free goods in quotation. For example If i enter 10 qty in quotation. The billing should be done only for 9 qty (10-1) for inclusive case.
and for exclusive case an addition line item should be generated with 1 quantity
1 is free good quantity.
The same thing should be copied to sales order, IF i create sales order with reference of quotation.
Kindly help me if any body is having an idea.
Thanks&Regards
(YUGANDHAR.P)

Hi Yugandhar,
You can maintain the scenario in free goods determination.
Using inclusive/exclusive and with Item generation and with out item generation.
And activate Complete reference indicator in VTAA for OR<-QT
It idicates whether the system copies the source document completely.
Procedure
If you mark the field, the system copies the source document into the target document completely. The system also copies the complete reference indicator. You cannot change the indicator in the target document.
Example
You mark a quotation for complete reference and you then copy the quotation into a sales order. Later, if you try to change an order quantity or to delete an item, the system sends a message.
