Free Sample items to be captured in separate G/L Account

Hi all,
I gone through the thread before posting this because of some confustion still i had in my mind.
My cleint requirement is Finished products which normally processed in the sales order as TAN, some times given to customer as a "FREE SAMPLE" for a promotion purpose or during new product launch.
While sending Material to the customer these "FREE SAMPLE", my client not collecting any amount.
The invoce value is ZERO.
But for accounting point of view they want to capture this FREE SAMPLE ITEMS. They have to show the government about the value of free sample distributed for a certain period.
I tried to convince my client use it as a FREE GOODS, TANN item category, for FREE SAMPLE also.
*But they want to capture both FREE GOODS and FREE SAMPLES in DIFFERENT G/L account.
Can anyone suggest me.?
Regards
Harish

Hi Harishkumar,
What is the material code for the sample material? Is it the same as that of the finished goods? If it is different then you can create a separate material account asignment group.
A.........Separate material code for the sample material.
IMG - Sales and Distribution - Basic Functions - Account Assignment/Costing - Revenue Account Determination - Check Master Data Relevant For Account Assignment - Materials: Account Assignment Groups
Execute & create a new one for sample material.
In the material master of the sample material select the material account assignment group & in VKOA maintained the G/L account as per the material account assignment group.
Note: In case of sample sale, the order type will not be relevant for billing. If at all you make it relevant for billing the system will create an accounting document when the invoice is saved because for the accounting entries to be hit an invoice should be created.
B........Same material for the sample sale (finished goods material will be sent as a sample)
In this case you will be having some entry in the material account assignment group which will be copied in the sales order. But in the sales order the material account assignment group is not changeable at the item level. When you create the invoice make sure the material account assignment group is changed so that when the invoice is saved the system will post the value in the relevant G/L account (specially created for free goods & sample goods).
Also as it is a sample sale the sales Tax will not be applicable, so in the pricing you will only have the selling price condition type.
1. Create a Z document type copying from FD document type in transaction code VOV8.
2. Create a separate item category, copy from KLN & save as ZKLN........in the field billing relevance select option "A" so that system will allow invoice based on the delivery only...........in the field pricing select X - standard pricing.
3. In transaction code VOV4 do the item category determination for the new document type.
4. Maintain the copy control settings........sales order to delivery...........delivery to invoice.
5. Create a new pricing procedure for sample sales & do the pricing procedure determination in OVKK. Check the document pricing procedure assignment.......assign C to the new sales order type.
6. In transaction code VKOA maintain the relevant G/L account determination as per the sample account assignment group.
Run a complete cycle & check the accounting entries. But this will be shown as an open item in transaction code FBL5N.
With best regards,

TAX on free good item

Dear Gurus,
how can i calculate tax on a free good item and post it to a different GL account withotu having it show up on the output tax line of the sales invoice? this free good tax needs to be calculated and absorbed by the company, not passed on to the customer. the customer must only pay tax on what he buys and not what he qualifies to receive free of cost.
Regards,
ottley

Hello
What our friend Mr.Raja singh suggested is very correct but he missed out there needs to be proper alignment of FROM and TO steps in your pricing procedure
The FROM and TO steps in your pricing procedure for R 100 condition type should exclude the step no of MWST ( this statement may be confusing to read but once you work in the system you can get it)
By doing so suppose if there is a material X say price is 100 $ each and there is an free offer of 10 + 1 material X and say there is a tax of 4 %
In normal case when you order 10 units of material X you will get 11 units of material X and the cost would be 1000 $s + tax 40 $s so total would be 1040 US dollars (tax is calculated for 10 items not the free)
If you follow the steps as suggested by Mr.Raja singh + proper alignment of FROM and TO steps in your pricing procedure the same order would be of cost would be 1000 $s + tax 44 $s so total would be 1044 US dollars (tax is calculated for 11 items
which includes the free item also)
I dont understand what is the negative value which you are talking about

Free Samples which are excisable.?

Hi friends,
Some time we need to issue free samples to our clients :
1)      Create a BP u2013 Free Samples
2)      Create Sales Order (Separate order series for Free Samples
3)      Create delivery of the frees sample
4)      Pass Outgoing Excise invoice based on Delivery
5)      Close the Delivery manually/Forcefully
6)      Pass JV for closing the Open Excise transaction
Whether this is OK ? In this case, we will not come to know about the Quantity /value of Frees sample issued during the year.
Suppose we want to capture the quantity & amount of the cost which is related to Free Samples, than whether any other procedure needs to be adopted ?

Mahesh

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.

Free sample sales - Control for Total Value

Dear all,
In our sales free process we configured
a condition type Z100 Net value
and condition record maintained with Key
Customer / Material / Plant
Higher authority is maintaining teh condition reocrd for one day.
10000/ Fg123456 / h210 - 100 % 12.8.2011 12.8.2011
and It will come in the sales order and the Total value will get knocked off by Z100 condition type.
But in this user can enter any number of quantity in the day and product can be dispatch as free sample.
Now we want here
The Basic value (multiply by qty) of the sales order should not go beyond Rs 5000/-
It should be restricted.
Or can we have some release strategy so that Rs 5000 marketing manager can release,
5000 - 10000 COO and above CEO.
Please suggest me, even the full process need to changed also OK for us.
Thanks and Regards,
Mani

Hi Mani,
As explained already, through user exit MV45AFZZ, you can acheive the block.
for your 2nd part, you can get a z-report develop to check the orders that are blocked with this specific delivery block and their net value and item details. Allow the business user to choose the documents he wants to release, since this is purely a business decision. For the orders he wants to release, again through the same user exit MV45AFZZ and FORM USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE, you can get this block removed through ABAP programming.
You can define a new blocking reason, if required in OVLS.

Raghu.

Free sample sales net value in invoice should give zero value.

Hello Experts,
I have a question on the cess values aspect of free sample sales.Recently, I have configured a free sample sales for one of our clients. Now, in the invoice the user does not want the cess values to be passed to the customer.I changed the R100 discount type in the pricing control data, still tax is picked up, showing negative net value and not zero. Now, how to arrive at excise payable as credit entry and octoroi etc as debit entry in G/L accounts. or where I am going wrong, please suggest.
Regards,
Raj.

For sample sales that is you are despatching material on free of cost, follow the steps mentioned below
1) In V/06, you should create a condition type, say ZDIS (for 100% discount) and maintain the following:-
Cond. class::::::A
Calculat.type::::A
Plus/minus:::::::X
Item condition:::X
Amount/percent:::X
Delete:::::::::::X
Value::::::::::::X
Save the condition type
2) In OV34, create two new Account Keys, one for PR00 and one for 100% discount. Say the two Account Keys are ZSM and ZSP
3) In V/08, against PR00 condition type, assign Account Key ZSM with a tick in "Required". Next for condition type ZDIS, assign the another Account Key ZSP without any tick in the three boxes. Against this discount condition type, assign the step number of net value under the tab "From", assuming that after PR00 you have multiple condition types.
4) In FS00, create a new G/L Account with description as Sales Promotion Expenses
5) In VKOA maintain these two Account Keys for the sales organisation / chart of accounts with the same G/L account for both the Account Keys. Dont assign different G/L Account here.
6) Now create a sale order and do billing. See how the accounting document flows. Post still if you have any issues.

Free samples in gr

hi friends,
thank you for your response.
but i received free samples only at GR. if i go to transfer posting(others)501for free
items,value difference came here on issue.

Hi Ram
If you receive a delivery from a vendor free of charge for which no purchase order was placed, you post the receipt of the goods as a miscellaneous (other) goods receipt.
Choose Goods movement> Goods receipt > Other. Enter the data as required and choose movement type 511. When you process the items, the system prompts you, for every item, to maintain a text for the delivery free of charge on the detail screen. This entry is mandatory, since without a purchase order there is no other way of entering information about the delivery.
Hope this helps.
Reward if u find this info useful.

1. You will have to create a seperate sample sales Document Type, Item Category and Billing Document.
2. In this Sample Item category you will have tomake pricing as 'B" Pricing for Free goods" pricing procedure ( Copy TAN and change it accordingly to bring it as standard process)
3. Document Procing Procedure = C and Maintain customer pricing procedure accordingly.
4. Maintain Shipping Condition Type KF00 in the free samples pricing procedure either manually (mostly) or else through) so that you can enter Freight Expense at Billing

Third party free sample sale process

Dear All,
We are sending free sample materials for testing to a customer, Material will be dispatched through Third party Vendor. How to do MM & SD Process from excise point of view.
Note: Material directly will get dispatch from vendor to 2 different places 1.with in India 2.Foreign
Thanks&Regards
Raghu.p

Hi,
You can create Sales order for Sample processing and enable Third Party Item category ( by copying TAS) and Item category should be relevant for Pricing with Statistical Indicator
In the Item category , just the Billing relevance as D which is proforma and maintain corresponding schedule line determination ( refer to CS from standard)
Once you save sales order a Third Party PR will be created which can be converted to PO
If you want to create shipping Notification, create MIGO else, create a Proforma invoice from Sales order and create a Excise Invoice Using J1IN
Hope it is clear
revert if you find any difficulty in executing the above steps

GRPO/Sales for Sample items

Hi,
Please advise for GRPO conditons for Sample Items ( FOC Basis Samples received from Suppliers) and How to send Samples to our Customers in SAP Business One 9.0

Hi,
Create GRPO as zero value from supplier and store it in separate warehouse like sample
warehouse (if item cost managed by warehouse). You can selnd the same item to your customer from
the same warehouse and then u can close the document status if not receive the item again from the
customer. Or if you receive the item from customer then u can use return document against that
delivery.

Follow the below procedures:-
1) In FS00, create two new G/L Accounts for sample sales which your FI people has to do. One for customer credit and one for posting to promotional account
2) Create a new pricing procedure for sample sales in V/08 with a new Account Key (say ZSM) which may be assigned to your PR00
3) Next in VKOA, assign the Account Key and G/L Account created for customer credit for the combinations which you already maintained for normal sales
4) Create a new sale order (if need be) and billing type and assign this pricing procedure in OVKK
5) Go to OBYC, double click on Transaction GBB and assign the new G/L Account created for promotional account for the combination of 0001:::VAX:::Material Type
Now create a sale order and see the Accounting Document

Free samples with billing

Dear SAP guru's
      I have done the customizing for free samples - i am able to do both sales order and delivery - i am not able to do the billing - as there is excise duty involved in the material sold,
kindly some one help me. i tried and search the forum - i am not able to find the answer.
Regards,
Reshmi

Reshmi this is the configuration steps you need:
1) create a new item category copying TAN and set the pricing relevance to B (free goods)
2) create a pricing procedure like this:
11     0     PR00     Price
100     0          Gross
915     0     MWST     VAT
920     0          Total
925     0     R100     Discount 100%     100
926     0          Grand Total
In this way you will be able to calculate the VAT only on the gross value and then post only the VAT amount to bill to the customer.

Free Sample Order

While raising free Sample Order only the Basic price should come. VAT% should not appear.
How to do that?
Regards,
Sudha

Hi
While creating the condition records, you have to maintain the access sequence sequence and during that condition records, get the values according to the sales document types in which you can maintain all the sales document types and not the sales document types which is different for the free samples which is CD.
Then when you are creating the document for free samples the condition records for the VAT will not be copied to sales order and the price will be copied.
You can create a separate pricing procedure for each sales documents as the pricing is based on the sales org and document pricing and customer pricing , but it is not adviseable.
