Venu,
I did some searching in copy control (IMG), in view of your business requirement.
In connection to my earlier post, "re-determination of Free goods" in RE order type;
when RE order is created with reference to OR
In VTAF, see item level TANN, copy control 302: Do not copy
Here the free goods are not copied. Only goods with item category other than TANN are copied from billing document to RE order.
Then if free goods determination is done afresh in RE order. If there is no free goods procedure assigned to RE sales document type, then no free goods are populated in RE order.
I haven't tested this, you could test this and see if it meets your business requirement.
From SAP, F1 help for copy requirement 302:
In this requirement, any items that have this requirement assigned will not be copied into the target document.
Example
When using product selection, it is advisable that only the main item be allowed to be copied from document to document, and the sub-item should be re-determined in the target document based on the current availability situation. In order to implement this, the item category of the sub-item can have this copy routine assigned to it in order to prevent the copying of these items.
