Free item issued upon purchase of another by client.

Dear All;
In our sales operations when a customer buys certain types of material, for each unit he buys, he is offered a free item of another type. For example, if a customer buys an item A, he is offered another of type A1, but is not charged for it.
A sales order is created for only item A, but during delivery creation, the system picks both item A and A1. When invoicing both A and A1 are shown on the document, but the value of A1 is not included in the cost.
Kindly help me understand the settings i need to make in order to have this work.
Thanks in advance.
Richard.

Hai Richard,
Please check
Free Goods from One Material Group to Another Material Group
Free Goods sub item split in two line items
And please do config and post the error if any.

Hiii Guys,

How to release Sales Order free item when credit limit exceeded ?
Here some info :

Credit Exposure : 52,000.00
Risk Category : 003 High Risk
My user want to create sales order for free item for customer ABC, the customer abc credit limit already exceeded .and the item in sales order not contain any value, it should past the sales order creation. how to allow Free item past the credit limit checking ?

To reslove this issue,
I. you can create a new sales order type. for which you make the credit control de-active.
2. If you can't create a new order type and this cotrol should happen at item category level.
then try config at the IMG>Sales & Distribution>Basic function>creditmanagement>credit management/riskmanagement setting>Determine Active Receivables Per Item Category.

Excise problem in case of free items

Hello,
My user is having following issue.
Vendor has sent 3 items, out of which one is free sample. But on that excise has to b paid by us (which is approx 3000rs). So when user is trying 2 do GR, first 2 items dont hav any problem, but after checking ITEM OK tab in case of 3rd item(which is free sample), system shows run time error (A value does not fit in a calculation field.)
What may b the remedy for it. How 2 handle this?
Thanks.

First if you don't want to take credit of the free sample then follow the below procedure:
1. Do the GRN for all the three item and for the free item in the excise tab at the item level select the material as non cenvatable. Just remember to add base value of the item
2. If you want to capture the Part1 entry then just do the normal transaction and while posting the excise with J1IEX just remove the excise duties for the free item.
3. For paying the vendor the excise amount, just do subsequent debit in the MIRO and in the details tab add in the unplanned delivery cost the amount that you want to pay for the excise duties
Second case if you want to take credit of the duties:
1. Do the Normal GRN process, add the base value and excise values for the free item.
2. Post the Excise duites with J1iEX.
3. The with the account entry you can settle the excise payment
Hope this will help you
Enjoyyyyyyyyyyy

Excise capture in import po for free item

Dear Friends
I am having an issue.
I have created an import po for free item.
As the item is free of cost,system will hide the conditions tab item details tab.
But we are paying the all the duties like CVD,Import Duty ,cess etc for the free item.
The item detail tab is hidden, I cannot enter the planned delivery costs for the item
Please advise me how can I capture Excise Invoice for the free itme in import PO
Thnks

The only way to do it is to assign a small notional value (like 0.01 USD) to the item, so that the conditions tab does not disappear.
The only problem will be that the GR/IR clearing account will have an open entry, which can be cleared via MR11 with minimum accounting impact.

Aroop

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,
Kumar.S

Alert box:No more free items available, please create new one

Hi,
We are running a SAP ERP Ecommerce, we get a strange alert box message "no more free items available, please create a new one". This alert window pops up only when you have created one order in a session and you are trying to create another order. Has anyone come across this issue?
Steps to recreated this issue
1. Create an order with any product - quantity is rounded to next possible value.
2. Order created, close the order.
3. Trying to create new order. (Product field is not a text box anymore)
4. Try to transfer product from catalog by hitting shopping basket icon.
5. Error message -> "No more free items available, please create new one".
Thanks,

Consignment Stock - Free Items - MM

Dear All,
Regarding consignment stock from vendor and handling free items with existing current stock.
We have 100 pcs consignment stock from vendor A.
As this stock issued time to time based on requirement and paid to vendor for the utilized quantity, now want to handle the below process.
Consignment stock : 100 pcs.
As per the vendor current offer - every 10 pcs 1 pc free. Now we have 100 pcs, so if we consider 90 pcs issued and rest 10 pcs as free - how to handle this in MM inventory and pay amount for 90 pcs only to vendor and remaining 10 pcs as free.
PR - PO - GRN created for 100 pcs earlier.
Please suggest the procedure to handle this in system.

Free Items delivery not displayed in inventory records

Hi
We created sales A/R with item and issued free item.When we are going to inventory records, it is showing only sales item details but not free item.pls help
Kishan Rao

Dear Venkat,
Please clarify to me a few things:
1. The first line item is different than the second line item???
2. If yes then you are maintaining the stock of the second line item seperately or in a seperate WH???
3. If no then are you manintianing the items Serial No. wise. which will help you to differentiate which items to be given free.
4. you have mentioned that the my problem is it is not deducted from the inventory records of the free qty.
Which means that you are maintaining the items to be given free seperately. Here what is that you excatly require because when it tried the same the inventory does get deducted.

Hi
The only other way i see to stop is to tick / activate complete delivery indicator in Sales Order and use incompletion procedure or make this field as mandatory in customer master but in the second case it will be applicable for all orders for customer .

Field name of free item in ME21N

Hi All,
I have a small issue hear in ME21N I wan the table and the field which will be updated when the we check the check box for free item in the line items, I tried to find that using CDHDR, CDPOS, using ST05 and other methods but I was unable to do that can any of u please help me in finding that field along with table mane which will be updated and to give further information the screen field name is UMSON
Regards,
Antony

Hello Antony,
The 'Free Item' indicator is only used to facilitate the switching off of the 'Inv.Receipt' flag.
The flag UMSON is not contained in any table, only in structures.
But there is a correlation between the flag UMSON and the field EKPO-REPOS. So if you flag field EKPO-REPOS (an invoice is expected) the flag UMSON will be cleared and the other way around.
For further information about this flag: You will not be able to enter any conditions in your purchase order item (not even the delivery costs) once the flag for 'Free item' has been set.
In case the 'Inv.Receipt' flag is unticked, the system will not allow you to maintain any conditions in the purchase order, not even the delivery costs. In ME21N you can see that even the condition tab disappears as soon as you set the 'Free item' indicator or as soon as you de-select the 'Inv.Receipt' flag.
Whenever the 'Inv.Receipt' flag is not set, we are indicating to the system that all the goods are to be delivered free of charge. In other words, there can be no delivery costs associated with the PO. Also, no delivery costs are allowed without an invoice receipt.
I hope this helps.
Esther.

No more free item numbers (Please check)

Dear Experts ,
We are in a process of upgradation and during Unit testing I am facing a issue for which i require your suggestions.
While Converting the Planned order to prod Ord in CO40 every thing is ok except when i check in component overview i get a msg "No more free item numbers (Please check)" and the BOM item numbers are visible as 9999 where as it should be 0010 & 0020 .May i know why is it so and how can i rectify it .

Hi,
I suggest you to do the conversion for a single planned order in TCode : CO41 or from MD04(screen itself by double clicking) and check the production order in Tcode ; CO02 / CO03.
