Free item Indicator in PR (ME51N)

Free Item check box not appearing in PR- item overiview (ME51N).
How can I get that in PR item overview screen????

Hello Atul,
PR is an internal document that User/Department gives to Purchase department for giving details about the requirement that is why SAP doesn't provide free indicator in this transaction me51n.
As PO is an external document and we need to provide the price for making a PO, so that is why SAP provides field in me21n from marking free indicators.
As pricing available in PO is not available in Me51n in the same way free indicator is not availble.

Migration of PO with "free item" indicator not working (BAPI_PO_CREATE1)

Hi experts,
we are using the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to migrate POs. However, when we try to create a line item with a price of 0.0 and a "free item" indicator, the PO is created with a price and without the "free item" indicator (price seems to be coming from source list).
Did anyone run into this problem before with BAPI_PO_CREATE1?
Thanks!

Hi
I suggest you not to use any price in the field
POITEM - NET_PRICE & donot flag the same in POITEMX
& flag the field POITEM - FREE_ITEM & also check the same in POITEMX
I have tested this & it works fine.
Thanks & Regards

BADI to uncheck free item indicator (field UMSON) in PO through ME21N)

Hi All,
I have a requirement to remove the UMSON ( free item ") indicator while creating a PO using ME21N transaction based on the input from user. If material starts with 'P' and it is a standard order, then this field should be unchecked for that particular item. I am implementing the BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST and method CHECK. However, I find that though the PO is held and not saved, the value of UMSON field is not changed.
This is the code.
DATA:   lt_mepoitem   TYPE purchase_order_items,
        ls_mepoitem   TYPE purchase_order_item,
        ls_mepoheader TYPE mepoheader,
        ls_head       TYPE REF TO if_purchase_order_mm,
        ls_item       TYPE mepoitem,
        ls_local      TYPE ttyp_fieldselection_mm,
        ls_inval      TYPE REF TO if_purchase_order_item_mm,
        l_error       TYPE c.
INCLUDE mm_messages_mac. "useful macros for message handling
ls_mepoheader = im_header->get_data( ).
lt_mepoitem = im_header->get_items( ).
IF ls_mepoheader-bsart = 'NB' .
    LOOP AT lt_mepoitem INTO ls_mepoitem.
      ls_item = ls_mepoitem-item->get_data( ).
      IF ls_item-matnr(1) = 'P' AND ls_item-umson IS NOT INITIAL .
        ls_item-umson = space.
        l_error = 'X'.
        CALL METHOD ls_mepoitem-item->set_data
          EXPORTING
            im_data = ls_item.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    IF l_error = 'X'.
      ch_failed = 'X'.
      mmpur_message_forced 'E' 'ME' '303' text-001 '' '' ''.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing or where this can be implemented?
Thanks

hi,
With Error it won' t allow you to save PO.
What i would suggest is that
either you give message that indicator need to checked or unchecked as per condition. and let user change is manually and
you check it in BADI and then save it .
or you change free item check as per your requirement in BADi and give a information message that this item is to be checked for free goods or need to be unchecked .

Free Item indicator is SET but value appearing in MB51

Hello MM Guru’s,
I have PO with Acc Assignment – Q (Project) and activated Free Item indicator when I do GR with Movement type – 101 / Q accounting document gets generated. As per my understanding SAP standard behavior is if I perform GR for FOC item accounting document should not trigger.
When I check the same in transaction MB51, I could able to view the Amount in LC for the respective PO which in turn makes inconsistencies in system.
Please let me know how to clear these inconsistencies in system.
Revert back in case of any additional information required from my end.
Note: In PO history tab page Amount in LC not appearing but it is appearing only in transaction MB51.
Regards,
Kumar S

SAP Guru's,
Replicated the issue in Q environment and issue is appearing as similar to P environment.
Created 2 Purchase requisition via network
Created 2 POs w r to Purchase requisition that is Free item tick is activated.
GR done for 1st PO --> Amount in LC not appearing in MB51
GR done for 2nd PO --> Amount in LC appearing in MB51.
In this case price control-V then as per my understanding the stock is updated on a quantity basis only,not on a value basis.
Hence for the 2nd PO while doing GR amount should not get updated in transaction MB51.
Please let me know how to clear the inconsistencies in Q environment.If no solution then please let me know whether I can reach out SAP for the same or not.
Need your valuable input on the same.
Cheers,

Free Item Indicator on PO and SAP standards

Hi,
1. I'm trying to find the 'free item' indicator on my PO, but I'm not sure where it can be found. Where on the screen would this be located? Can I not find it because it's not configured in SPRO?
2. Just to confirm, say company X receives 110 items when they made a PO for 100. 10 items are free. Is the SAP standard to GR 100 and make a PO for 10 free items, and then finally GR these 10 free items?
I've searched on the forum but couldn't come up with anything.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
According to the description, the scenario can be achieved by "free goods item" via condition
NR00 in info record.
1. you allow "grant discount in kind" in vendor master-> purchasing view
2. allow "Qual.f.FreeGoodsDis" in material master-> purchasing view
3. in info record-> condition screen->press "Free goods" button, and maintain the condition
    NR00 for example 100 PC/10 PC free.
4. customizing
    OLME
    ->Discount in Kind (Discount in Form of Bonus Goods)
    ->Define And Assign Discount-in-Kind Schema
    ->Determine Free Goods Schema
    set schema = NR0001 for "purchase group"/"Calculation Schema" combination
Then when creating PO with quantity 100 PC, apart from the main item, there would be another
subitem with "subitem category" = 4 derived by system automatically.
When doing the GR, 2 lines will be proposed, however only main item will be reflected in
accounting.
When doing invoice, also only the main item will have amount.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards,
Polly

Where is Free Goods Indicator Stored?

Hi All,
Looking at the PO screen, Free Goods Indicator, Free Item Indicator is stored in UMSON, but I can't find that in any table.
Does anybody know what table this is in?
Please help
Thanks,
Thang

Hi Prabu,
First you have to uncheck the free goods indicator in info record in Tcode ME12.
Now try PO, if still free goods indicator is coming then you have to go to the following path:
Spro - MM- Purchasing-PO - Define Screen Layout at Document Level-click on ME21N
Here check.

Free Items in Purchase Orders

Hi,
We have a scenario where in certain line items in a Purchase Order, first a net value was entered and then they were made free items by checking the free item indicator.
The purchase order was then saved.
However the value that was reduced when the items became free items wasn't getting updated in the Net value that appeared in the Header Level conditions. This resulted in the Net value of the Purchase order appearing higher than it was.
When we went to ME22N and unchecked the free item indicator for all the free items and re-checked them, the value was updated correctly.
Any idea why the value was not updated correctly the first time?
Thanks,
Nandita

Please check if you can replicate this behaviour. If this does not happen, then it is a one-off case and better to leave it at that. If you are able to replicate this consistently, the likely reason is that the values are transferred to the header conditions before you make the item free. The conditions are not refreshed while saving the PO (which should actually be done). In such a case, your best bet is to ask SAP to look into this.

PO "Free Item"

Hi experts,
May I know how do I control the "Free Item" indicator default value?
Previously I managed to convert a PR into PO without a problem. But now when I convert a PR into PO, the "Free Item" indicator was checked as default. So there is no Net Price in my PO unless I unchecked the "Free Item" indicator. I'm not sure how this happened.
May I know how can I solve this problem?
Thanks and regards,
JT

Hi Murali,
I've done what you said. In our SAP system, there is no such setting, so I guess it is not related to what you have told me to check.
For the past 2 years, these type of PR was created from a customized program via BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE. All the PR created from this program, the Goods receipt, Invoice receipt and GR non-valuated checkboxes were not checked/ticked.
When I try to amend by checking/ticking the Invoice receipt checkbox and try to convert the PR into PO, the Net Price will be there and the "Free Item" indicator was not checked.
My another question is that why is this problem happen now instead of 2 years ago?
Thanks and regards,
JT

Question regarding Free Items

Hello All-
We are using SRM version 4.0 and we have implemented both Standalone and Extended Classic scenario.
Using ECS scenario, we have a requirement to create Purchase orders with $0 at line item level. Few lines in the Purchase order will have price assocaiated with qty and few lines will have $0 associated with qty. ( Example: Purchase order has 2 line items. 1st Line has a price of $100 and the second line has a price of $0.)
Whenever we create a shopping cart with such line items, the PO is getting created in "Held" status. The error message reads "Enter the price or set the follow-on document indicator".
I would like to know the way to implement this functionality i,e PO to get created with $0 at line item level and the backedend PO is checked with "Free Item" indicator for that line.
Any ideas are suggestions will be appreciated.
FYI - In Standalone Scenario, we can create PO with line items having $0.
Regards,
Upendra.

Hi
Create a seperate pricing procedure for free samples.....
let us take a example..
step :10       PR00---100 quantity---    +100 /- rs -
ERL
    Step 20 : R100--- 100% discount- -100/- Rs-----ERS
       Step 30:               Customer A/C    0 /- Rs
     Step 40: tax caluculate on step 10 CST 2 %--2 /-RsMWS
In this way customer account 0/-Rs debited CST account 2/-Rs credited.

Free item - purchase order

Dear all,
I need that when I create a purchase order with a specific document type, it check automatically the check box Free item for each position.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Marianna

Hi,
1. You raise a different document type for a free items and accordingly
   maintain the customising settings (but please note that certain document types are excluded from this, like the intercompany stock PO)
2. You can use the BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST.
   where you can write your own code to overide the customising when
   it is a free item.
Regarding field selection settings please be informed that it is not possible to set the flag for free and the flag for invoice
receipt together. It does not make sense to expect an invoice receipt for a position which is free.
The 'Free Items' indicator in the overview is only used to facilitate   the switching off of the Inv.Receipt flag and the GR-based IV flag. Note that the 'Free Items' indicator is not stored on the PO item table EKPO.
The Inv.Receipt flag (and the GR-based IV flag) are the fields that   really controls if an item is 'free' or not.
Please check also
FORM MEPO_ITEM_FILL_REPOS = include LMEPOF64.
Additional infromation:
note 173873 ME59 - PO created with no price
