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.

Free of charge delivery and free goods

hello,
I need clarification on the following.
There are two different things. one is free of charge delivery and the other is free goods.
1) for free of charge delivery, order type is FD , I think we have to maintain TANN(with pricing as B,100% discount). This will trigger R100 as 100% discount condition in pricing procedure. Am i right ?
2) The other is Free goods determination(OR order type). where free goods condition records are maintained and gets determined in sales order. for this scenario, TAN and TANN (100% disc) is maintained in item caterory determination. I think in this case NRAB is required and not R100 in pricing ? am i right ? ..

Free-of-charge subsequent delivery

Hi experts,
"If the customer is to receive replacement goods, do not create a credit memo. You can enter a reason for rejection for the appropriate items in the return. You then create a free of charge subsequent delivery with reference to the return in order to send the replacement goods to the customer. "
(It comes from SAP help
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/70/a7853478616434e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm).
Got some questions about the above. Pls help to solve. Thx.
Q1: Does the process match SAP statement above, sales order -> outbound delivery -> invoice -> return order (to be rejected after PGR for return delivery) - return delivery (PGR) - free of charge subsequent delivery (to be created with reference to return order) - delivery (no invoce to be created)?
Q2: If the process is correct, how can the financial balance the value of returned goods, sales cost? Is it through the replacement goods? In my previous understanding, it's the must to create credit memo because return delivery has PGR.
Q3: What order type is used for free of charge subsequent delivery? It seems SAP help mentions FD while some one mentions SD.

Hi Cathy,
>Q1: Does the process match SAP statement above, sales order -> outbound delivery -> invoice -> return order (to be rejected after PGR for return delivery) - return delivery (PGR) - free of charge subsequent delivery (to be created with reference to return order) - delivery (no invoce to be created)?
> (to be rejected after PGR for return delivery) -
What does this mean???
Std Process is
Sales Order - Delivery - Invoice - Return Sales Order (wrt sales order / billing document) - Return Del. (wrt Return Sales order ) - PGR - Credit Memo wrt Return Sales Order
OR (If not to create credit memo)
Free Of Charge Sub. Deli. Doc. (which is sales doc.) wrt Return Sales Order / Original Sales Order - Standard Deli.(LF) - Proforma Invoice
>Q2: If the process is correct, how can the financial balance the value of returned goods, sales cost? Is it through the replacement goods? In my previous understanding, it's the must to create credit memo because return delivery has PGR.
It is not must to create credit memo unless the customer has asked for.
Eg. if you have sold material worth Rs. 100/-, invoice is created. Here customer a/c is debited. Now, you do return sales order - return delivey. Till return delivery, no accounting posting take place as far as customer is concerned. (Material doc is created after PGR and then a/c doc is created where cost of goods is posted) So after PGR, if the cust wants, either you can create Credit Memo where you return the money (in this case Rs.100) to customer that he has already paid or you deliver the material free of charge.
Only in case of Credit Memo, accounting takes place where customer a/c is credited. So there is reverse posting
For free of charge del. there is no accounting posting taken place
>Q3: What order type is used for free of charge subsequent delivery? It seems SAP help mentions FD while some one mentions SD.
Both these Sales Doc. types are available in Std SAP system
SD - is used for Subsequent Delivery Free of Charge that is created wrt Return Sales Order / Billing Document
FD - is used when you want to give any free sample to the customer. Therefore it does not have any reference
Hope you get some inputs

How to configure Free of charge posting to cost account and not to balance?

Hi,
If we post GI for a free of charge delivery (sample) the following will be posted:
Cost of Sales 100
Finished goods 100
But we do not want to post to Cost of Sales but to a cost account.
What do I need to change?
Regards,
Eric.

Hi Eric van Zundert,
Follow below mentioned procedure;
1. OMJJ - Copy a new movement type as "901" from Movement type "601". For new movement type change the Valuation Modifier to "YAX" instead of "VAX" and SAVE.
2. OBYC - Here go to T/E key "GBB" and do the account determination for the new valuation modifier "YAX" of new movement type (Created in Step1).
3. VOV6 - Go to the Schedule Line Category (which is getting determined in Free of Charge Order) and assign the new Movement Type "901" instead of "601" and save.
Note: - If this Schedule Line Category is used for multiple Sales Orders then copy and create a new Schedule Line Category and do the changes for this one as suggeste din step3 and also do the schedule line category determination.
Now create a new order and do delivery and PGI and check A/c entry, also check during delivery it should pick up new Movement Type.
You need to take help of ur SD Consultant in this case.

Free of charge Item

Hai,
What is Free of Charge Item ? In which situation we use Free of Charge item? What configuration settings I have to make for this?
What is the difference between free of charge Item and Free of charge delivery?
Regards,
Siva

Free Of CHarge items are nothings but when you give rebate in kind. If you want to give away items for free then you use a itemm category TANN.
Config: Go to Tcode. VOV4 and assign your order and item group to cat TAN and Default level cate. TANN. While raising an order just assign the item categoiry as tann and higer level item cat. to the lowest level.
Whereas,
Free of charge delivery is the one which you want to use in case say eg.you want to send some free samples to the customer then you can create free of charge delivery without reference to sales order directly.
Please award points if helpful
Thanks

Free of charge items, ie price = u00A30.00 are not transferred to backend.

Free of charge items, ie price = £0.00 are not transferred to backend. PO created with held status, but the SRM PO item IR flag is selected. If we manually amend the SRM PO item to remove the 'invoice receipt' flag, then save the PO, the PO does get to the backend with a price of zero, the IR flag de-selected and the 'free' item flag selected.
How do we manage to get the PO with free items to the backend without having to manually change the held PO in SRM? We are on SRM 5.0 using extended classic.

Hi
We have done this type of requirment.. several times.. This is easily possible ..
You need to Implement the BADI - BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK using SE18 Transaction.
Either you can do this sample code inside BAPI (Make changes accordingly) or inside the BADI - BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK / BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK_NEW depending on your requirement.
LOOP AT po_items INTO ls_po_items WHERE net_price IS INITIAL.
* Reset the IR Indicator for Items with Zero net price
 ls_po_items_add_data-po_item = ls_po_items-po_item.
 ls_po_items_add_data-ir_ind = space.
 ls_po_items_add_data-gr_ind = 'X'.
 ls_po_items_add_data-gr_non_val = 'X'.
 APPEND ls_po_items_add_data TO po_items_add_data.
ENDLOOP.

Delivery free of charge Invoice should not Post to accounting

Hello,
As per Client's specific Business process , till now ZERO value Invoice(Delivery Free of charge) is created (This is not SAP Standard).
No accounting document is generated because of ZERO value of Invoice.
Only COPA Document is generated.
ZERO value invoice is generated because of all Pricing Conditions are Statistical in Pricing Procedure.
Now , Requirement is to create Invoice with Values & also Print values in Invoice, without posting it to accounting.
The simplest way to do it to remove Statistical check from all Pricing conditions , Values will start Printing.
But in this case ,Invoice getting started posted to accounting.
Q:- Please let me know the simplest way to create Invoice (Delivery Free of Charge) with values but on the same time , it should not post to accounting only COPA should be generated.
(AR Electronic Invoice)
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Free of charge Deliveries are basically of 2 types.
1. When you send Promotinal materials for display purpose, Physician samples in pharma industry etc.
Those materials do not have any commercial values, they are send free-of-charge.
We process those materials with Order Type FD (Free-of-charge Delivery).
2. Another case, when suppose you had sent 10 units of some material (commercially valued materials) for which customer has already paid the money to you.
After that suppose customer has found that 2 units are damaged or defective for which he has returned the 2 units to you.
Here, you have 2 options to compensate the customer, either you will issue a Credit Memo or you will replace with fresh units for those 2 returned units.
If, you will replace 2 fresh units to the customer, then it is called "Subsequent Delivery Free-of -chrge".
The Order Type used for the above is "SDF".
In this case, even though the material is a commercially valued material but we send it as free-of-charge as Customer has already has paid for it.
In both the above case, may it be "Free-of-charge Delivery (FD)" or "Subsequent Free-of-charge Delivery (SDF)", both the transactions are not relevant for Billing.
You can check the same in Sales document Item category KLN and KLX, both are not relevant for Billing. That means you can not create a commercial Invoice for those transactions.
In the above case, if required we create Proforma Invoice with reference to the Delivery document.
Proforma Invoice is a dummy Invoice and not posted to Accounting.
So, in your case you can create a Proforma Invoice.

FREE OF CHARGE DELIVERY pricing error

Hi SAP SD Gurus
I am krishna new to this forum also new to SAP SD
I have dought about free of charge delivery subsequent process.
Can anybody please explain about the difference between those also what are the item category and scheduling cat for both.
i created free of charge delivery but it is showing pricing error .where I have done mistake please explain?
Regards,
KRISHNA
Edited by: kris_hna on Sep 19, 2010 2:14 PM

Hi Krishna,
When you wantto send some Promotional Materials or Sample materials ( which do not have any commercial value), we use Order Type FD (Free-of charge Delivery) in standard SAP.
Order Type FD does not require any reference document.
But, suppose we had already sent 10 pieces of material to the Customer out of which let say 2 pieces are damaged and customer has returned back it to you.
Now, you have two options, either to issue a credit memo for the 2 pieces or you need to send fresh 2 units to the customer again.
If you want to send fresh 2 units (which we call replacement) instead of giving him a Credit memo then we process with Order Type SDF (Subsequent Free-of-charge Delivery).
Order Type SDF always requires a reference document. It is created with ref to the Return order.
In both the above case (FD & SDF), Pricing is not applicable.
Ensure that Item category is KLN in the Sales order and in the Item category details, "Pricing" check box should be blank.

Free of charge items

hello all,,
what would be an ideal way to handle free of charge items which are samples, since we give out a lot we need to have a proper way other than just convertiving them to TANN, while the sales order entry, so that we have proper reporting on that.

Hi
So the ideal way for free of charge items where samples are given is maintain Z item category.and assign in VOV4.So that for free of charge items only you can use Z item category and coming to reporting you have to go for LIS and create a user defined report with the combination of tables & feilds. Then whenever you want to see the data you can see the data

Free of charge material

I am getting some free samples from vendor of one material which is I am using regularly and material has certain cost in material master.
I know I can get it by creating PO with free of charge indicator.
But then when I will receive it and I want to issue it to some project or cost center, system is going to post accounting document even though the material I receive is with zero price.
Can anybody help to get solution of this problem ?

I think u can fix it with having "non-valuated material" in place.

Copa document for free of charge orders not relevant for billing

Hi all,
when we create the shipment costs of the samples goods the systems give us this error: ME083 "Entre Profit. segment".
The mistake is related to the missing profitability segment in the sales order of samples goods there are not valid for the billing.
How can we generate a profitability segment for free of charge sales orders not relevant for the billings?
The Item Category is not relevant for the billing and we can't modify it.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Matteo

Hi Sanil,
unfortunatly we can't create the billing. Due to fiscal requirements only sales orders and delivery exist.
We can't generate an invoice even with zero value.
The SD item category is not relevant for billing, so in the sales order no profitability segment is generated.
This is the standard functionalty of SAP, but we need to generate a profitability segment in the sales order because the shipment cost need it (transportation module of SAP).
All the other SD flow (sales orders with invoices) run already well.
Thanks
Matteo

Subsequent Delivery Free of Charge and Free of Charge

hi all,
What is Subsequent Delivery Free of Charge and Free of Charge?
and Can i get some material on this topics........
regards
Arun

Hi there,
Free of charge is when you send the free samples to customers. FD is the order type.
Some times customer may return goods coz of damge or of poor quality. In that case, he returns the goods & requests substitution. In that case we create subsequent free of charge order type SD.
Pls refer below for further information:

Change G/L account for free of charge po good receipt .

We create free of charge po for sample parts.Because its price is 0 and will decrease moving average price.
( Our price control is moving average price .)
Our user hope system can support as below :
1.No ap -- ok .
2.Change G/L account for GR fi document
3.Do not impect moving average price
4.stock qty increase after GR
I try to copy movement type 101 to another .And receive po using this movement type , but it does not work.
Is anyone tell me how to config it?
Thanks very much.

Hi Jimmy
Even MAP changes also, total stock value will be the same,
posting freegoods won't effect the stock value.
What exactly the necessity of restricting the moving average price change against freegoods posting.
Through standard SAP I dont think it is possible, if you really ned this then go for custom development.
Thanks & Regards,
Krish
