Import of free samples

Dear Consultants,
my client is getting free samples of one imported material. In this case no payment will be made to vendor but we have to pay all the import duties to the customs like Basic duty of custom, Ecess, Hcess, CVD, ADC , etc etc,
How we can handle and configure this scenario in sap where we donot make payment to vendor as he has provided us the free goods but we have to make payment of custom duties.
with regards

Hi
Since you are not getting any credit for these duties paid i suggest you release a PO free of cost on vendor & inward the goods.
One more service PO or cost centre PO for duty, cess etc. . . for customs & pay to customs.

Free sample from vendor (import) need to pay freight and duties

All SAP Gurus,
Vendor outside India has send us free sample.
But we need to pay duties and freight over it.
How this can be mapped in SAP?

Hi,
You can post fright charges by creating purchase order for 0.1 rate with fright & duty charges as per your requirement.
Also you can pay fright charges by direct posting in vendor account with FB60.
Reason: - In Free quantity purchase order you can't enter fright charges for material, So you have to crate normal purchase order for fright charges.

HT4943 I just tried to download a free sample of a newsstand- supported magazine I have not used before--the app is downloaded already. I get a message saying I need to free up space. I have two other mag apps with a total of 3 issues. What am I doing wro

I just tried to download a free sample of a magazine and received a message saying I need to free up space. The app is newsstand supported and I subscribe to 2 other magazines with a sum total of 3 issues. What am I doing wrong here. Do I need to add more memory space allotted to newsstand, and if so, how? Many thanks.

The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
How much space is Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Issue of Free Sampling to the customewith Excise duty[Paid by the Company]

Dear All
For free sample with no commercial value the user want to raise invoice for plant on which excise duty is to be paid.In this senerio excise duty is to be born by company only no recovery from the customer.
I dont think it is possible in normal scenario of sales process,as accounting entry gets effected at billing even for cenvat also.
Can you plz suggest me?

You can make an attempt as follows:-
First create a new tax code in FTXP with the same as that of the existing one which you are using.
Next get a G/L Account from Finance which may be some dummy account. Next go to OB40, select the transaction EXD and maintain the G/L Account for that newly created tax code which should flow in billing document.

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.

Hi,
"Please check to :
SPRO - Materials Management - Purchasing - Purchase Order - Define Screen Layout at Document Level "
Think here we can maintain the fields for mandatory/display/optional w.r.to each transaction....but my question is why the error message in popping up...even though there is no invoice update indicator is marked.

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.

I'm sure I'm overlooking something. I have an app that offers inapp magazine purchases. Can someone tell me how to update my free sample newsstand issue? Do I simply replace/update the folio assgined as the free issue in the folio producer?

Yes. Just update the articles inside the free issue and then click the "update" button in Folio Producer.

Free samples and needed billing and accounting document

Hi experts,
i got a scenario as below;
we issue free samples to our customers to give in the markets, but issuing this free items there would be some freigt expenses incurred,for that a billing and accounting required. how to configure this please help me
thanx,
shirgud

Shirisha,
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
5. Check whether we have a G/L Assigned for this freight a/c key ERF.
through this config you can process accordingly.

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,
Allabaqsh G. Patil.

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

Do I have to offer a free sample on Newsstand?

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could help me with what is hopefully a simple question...
I read somewhere previously that Apple has a requirement that at least one issue (folio) that resides in a newsstand app, must be made available for free. Is this true? It seems a bit odd, as it leaves us open to the possibility of having to pay download fees to Adobe, without making any revenue from the download itself. The "success" of a million downloads could therefore be our downfall. It just doesn't seem right. Could anyone help clarify this for me? I'm sincerely hoping I have my facts wrong...
Thanks,
Marc

We launched a few weeks ago and submitted both a free ampler and a full 'dummy' of our first weekly issue. Approval process was quick and smooth. However, we discovered that as a result of submitting both these and publishing them on the same day (launch day), the system was recognising the free sampler as the most recent issue -- as a result, subscribers in the first week couldn't get issue 1 as part of their paid subscription, and were getting the free sampler instead. The only solution we had was to remove the sampler -- which we did and haven't replaced. Haven't had a problem with Apple over this. Mind you, we gave Apple access to our test developer accounts so they could log in and check.
Hope that helps a little.
