How to Process Free Items in SD

Hi,
Our scenario is like this.
We get free merchandise from our supplier. That free merchandise will be included in our inventory thus affecting the Moving Average Price of that item.We also sell the free merchandise to our customer thru SD.
Now we will be having a promo. Those free items that we are getting from our supplier which has already been included in our inventory will be given out as a free item. If we are going to process this thru regular SD processing, there will be recording of cost of sales, sales and output tax. Which should not be the case since those are free items.
Is there a way to process this?
Thank you.

That free merchandise will be included in our
inventory thus affecting the Moving
Average Price of that item
I am sure, you would be maintaining a different material type for this. So go to OMS2, select that material type and double click on "Quantity/value updation". Now again select the plant and material type and untick the box under "Value Update" and save.
Now your inventory value will not affect in anyway when you inward the material.
thanks

PO Free Items inquiry

Hello Experts,
In transaction OMET, we can force buyers to create Purchase Order with ref. to a Pur. Req., Quotation or Pur. Ord.
then we assign the parameter 'EFB' in transaction SU01. How about for 'Free Item', is there any way we can process the line items that are Free without reference to a PR if the user has 'EFB' ?
Thank you.

Hello Padmasri,
Thank you for your quick response.
We are just using ME21N for PO creation, then if the user creates a Free item PO w/o ref.
error message 'You have no authorization to create without reference to another document' as it is because of the 'EFB' in user parameter.
We are just thinking if this authorization can be bypass or simply remove the 'EFB' in user paremeter and create a custom authorization using a BADI.
Thanks!

Sales Order Free item and Credit Limit Checking

Hiii Guys,
need your help,
How to release Sales Order free item when credit limit exceeded ?
Here some info :
Customer : ABC
Credit limit : 50,000.00
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.

How to process Customer Open Items? If that Customer is also an Vendor.

Hi All,
I need some help for the below configuations,
1. How to process Customer Open Items? If that Customer is also an Vendor to the Company. ( How to adjust these open amounts)
1. How to process Vendor Open Items? If that Vendor is also an Customer to the Company. ( How to adjust these open amounts)
Thanks
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
In addition to all the above, if the Customers and Vendors are in different company codes, then, you would have to also do the following configuration.
Execute transaction code OBYA, when prompted, type in 1st coy code, say A and then 2nd coy code, say B. This would take you to the "Maintain FI Configuration: Automatic Posting - Clearing Accounts" screen.
In the first frame, where you have
Posted in : A
Cleared Against : B
Under Receivable
Debit Posting Key : 01
Account Debit : Account Number (The account can be a G/L account, a customer account or a vendor account)
Under Payable
Credit Posting Key : 31
Account Credit : Account Number (The account can be a G/L account, a customer account or a vendor account).
In the second Frame
Posted in : B
Cleared Against : A
Under Receivable
Debit Posting Key : 01
Account Debit : Account Number (The account can be a G/L account, a customer account or a vendor account)
Under Payable
Credit Posting Key : 31
Account Credit : Account Number (The account can be a G/L account, a customer account or a vendor account).
So, if you are using the Customer/Vendor approach, company A must be set up as both a Customer(Use Txn Code XD01) and a Vendor(USe Txn Code XK01) in Company B and vice versa.
Once you have completed this set-up, you can then use transaction F.13 and/or F13E to carry out your automatic clearing.
However, if you intend to use the G/L approach, then the account numbers would be Inter-coy G/L account for each coy code as defined in the chart of accounts.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

Jacob

How do I opt-out of recieving email receipts for free items from the store?

Hello,
Currently, when I download free apps from the store I will eventually receive weekly receipts from e-mail. While useful on purchased items, I treat this as spam for free items.
How do I opt-out of this for free items?

I'm not aware of any setting to prevent the Apple's receipt to be sent.
If you bought a mix of purchase item and free item, the will appears on the same receipt. Instead of considering them as spam, you can consider them as "a way to recall which apps you dowloaded in case something wrong happen".
Personally, I have created a folder called "receipts" and simply send these mails to this folder.

How to process a transaction where a customer needs an Item on Trial basis?

How to process a transaction where a customer needs an Item on Trial basis.
It essentially means that the item should not move to customer's stock. It still has to be the part of inventory valuation.
Couple of options i tried out but i did not find them satisfactory. Such as:
1) Create an Internal requisition (eventually an Internal Order) and receive the item in the diifferent Warehouse (Same OU) in locator enabled sub inventory. and Locator would capture the customer address to an extent.
2) Create Consignment Subinventories for customers and store the items in those Subinventories. Although items have been shipped to customer. This way we can still have the item as a part of valuation.
If at all you have done similar kind of stuff or if you could think of better and logical solution, can you please guide me on this?
Thanks in Advance.

Lived through that couple of times.But nothing out of the box. But here are some question:
1. What would you do when you physical or cycle count for this stock? This is physically not here, but you are showing that in your inventory valuation account and showing quantity as well.
2. What do you do at the end of demo/trial period? What if the customer wants to buy instead of returning? Are these serial controlled items?
3. Do you use installed base also?
To overcome the first question what we suggested is to park it in a temporary account (say Demo or Trail account) instead of COGS account when you ship. Can be easily done with account generator and a different order type.
If your process is to return no matter what (at the end of the trial period), you may want to create an RMA and book it against the original order as soon it is fulfilled (extension). This helps you to see how many products are out there that are yet to be returned. Link these two orders line_id to line_id (as we do in copying).Keep the original order line status in In Demo or Trial and do not close the line. Once you receive the product against the RMA close the original line.
What about the cost (assuming std cost)? If you are shipping new products on trial basis, they are going out at full cost. When the customer returns them the value is not the same (probably). If yes, do you receive into a different organization where the cost is different or to the original organization? If it is different, the demo account may have some value left out.
Originally when shipped
Cr Inventory 100
Dr Demo A/C 100
If you return into a different organization where the cost is say 50% (assuming you are using std cost).
Cr Demo A/C 50
Dr Inventory A/C 50
You can see there is a balance of 50 in the account.
If the customer wants to buy, do you bring the goods back (logically) and ship them again? This is a clean way system wise but pain in neck process wise.
In order to achieve process efficiency not to involve people, you can do this. You can just create bill only order line and invoice the customer. But what about the relieving value from Demo account recognizing COGS account? You have to perform a logical inventory transaction and account for this to cr Demo A/C and Dr COGS A/C at the original cost.
Also demo may be shipped to customer X but they may want to you to invoice to parent company.
I wish there is a clean solution available in Oracle as a standard, but could not find one. Hence a lot of extensions. Still there are lot of more questions, but I limit to these here.
Yes, this Devil is Still Alive :)

How can I purchase items for app when the app was loaded on another ID before? I has to Chang my AppleID and also transferred an app to new phone. I can't purchase items for app because it wants me to buy the app through new ID. The app was free.

How can I purchase items for app when the app was loaded on another ID before? I has to Chang my AppleID and also transferred an app to new phone. I can't purchase items for app because it wants me to buy the app through new ID. The app was free.

All apps (and other content from the store) are tied to the account that downloaded them, whether or not they are free. To do in-app purchases in that app you will either need to log in with the account that downloaded it, or delete it (which will delete its content) and download it with your currently logged in account if you want to do IAPs on that account.

Process open items: how to set defaults for the additional selections

Hi FI experts,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to set defaults for the additional selections in the processing of open items.
I am using transaction F-04 (or F-06 or F-07) to post with clearing.
When processing the open items I can use additional selection parameters. In my case I need to use the document type. I would like to save this selection as a default but this doesn't seem to be possible.
1. it is not possible to save a variant for the processing of open items
2. I can not create a variant transaction (with trx. SHD0) for F-0x since this is only possible for dialog transactions
Do you see another way to store defaults for the additional selections in open item processing?
Thanks a lot.
Dimitri

Hi,
When you create a transaction variant from FB05, then also you will not able to default the value for additional selections variable. Hence SHD0 is not going to help.
As said above, either you can change the additional selection screen parameters, but here again you can't default the value. You can only reduce the number of entries on the screen.
Else you can create a custom transaction code by copying the standard. Even SAP recommends to create custom codes from standard tcode for clearing purposes depending on requirements.
Please check this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/EN/41/37b8e7455b11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
In the above link, in navigation choose clearing -- Specifications for processing open items
If it is a custom transaction then you can default document number.

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.
Edited by: sapsarang on Oct 29, 2009 6:24 AM

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

I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states I do not have enough space for encoding. how do i free up space and from where?

iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process. 25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".

How to assign free stock

Hi Friends,
I want to know the process regarding the assigning of free stock...
What is free stock?How to assign free stock? what is going to happen after assigning free stock....
with regards

Hi,
If you consider Sales order there are 2 cases Exclusive & Inclusive
Take an eg for 10 qty in Sales order to customer
Exclusive means -- you will be having 10 qty in order + 1 free good. so totally 11 qty will be delivered to customer.
here the free goods may be same or other can also be consider as free.
( eg for 10 bucket 1 mug is free like that)
Inclusive meand --, you will be getting one free in that 10 items. so order will 9 qty & free qty is 1 item , so total will be 10 qty only
Here the free item will be same as main item.
( For 9 bucket 1 bucket is free)
You can include this free stock as separate line item in the Sales order.
