Inclusive and Exclusive Free Goods

Hello Folks,
I wish to get confirmation on the following understanding:
1. Free goods must be of the same material for Inclusive bonus quantity method.
2. For Exclusive method it can be either same or different material. Or must it be different material only?
3. In both inclusive and exclusive, free goods is shown as a separate item entry with the item category TANN, for example.
Cheers
John

Exclusive Free Goods

Dear Experts,
In transaction VBN1, is there anyway where I can set "Exclusive" and Calculation type "2" as default. This is to prevent the users from accidentally maintaining "Inclusive" free goods. Thanks in advance!

Hi Sager,
Thanks for your feedback.However, it doesnt solve my problem as I would like default it to "Exclusive" and Calcuation type needs to be defaulted to "2" instead of maintaining it manually.

How to specify inclusion and exclusion rules for File data sources

This is the seed URL for a file data source: file://localhost/c:/myDir/
I want to exclude indexing and searching of files under: file://localhost/c:/myDir/obsolete/
What is the exact format for the exclusion URL?
I have tried both file://localhost/c:/myDir/obsolete/ and /myDir/obsolete/
but neither of it seems to work; it still indexes everything under /myDir/
Should I just put: /obsolete/ as the exclusion URL?
Also after initial crawling, if I change the inclusion and or exclusion rules and then run the crawler again, it should update the indexes accordingly. Is that right?
The version of UltraSearch I am using is 1.0.3.
Thanks for any help on this.

Try "/c:/myDir/obsolete/"
Changing inclusion/exclusion rule does not affect files already crawled. It onyl
affects next crawling behavior.
To do any DML to existing data set, use SQL directly on wk$url table under the instance owner.

ISA and Discounts/Free Goods

Hello,
We are running a B2C web shop in CRM 5.0 and have been asked to set up a special promotion/discount. Our marketing group would like to offer a special where if you buy 3 products within a brand (which we have on the product master), the consumer would get the cheapest one free. We are not sure what the best way to configure this is and was wondering if anyone has experience with setting up a discount/free good in fashion. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Christine Micke

HI
Mike for this you have to do settings in Product catalog which is assigned to u r webshop
there is on the header level Basic Data and Administartion data is there Adjust all basic values as input parameters, Administaration data also then now you assign this to B2C, whenever a customer placs a order through internet he has to tick his ordered goods on web shop through roduct catalog so if you set confuguration there discount will be calculated and also for free goods with cheper cost, and through actions system will send a automatic mail to the customer that he got the offer of a free stock item

Dear Community,

Ram Rastogi

Dear Ram,
Our Client wants to provide a stock clearence scheme to his customers that
for a billing of INR 100000 or above his customers can make another purchases worth of INR 10000 as free.
You can acheive this by using Group condition.
Create one condition type( Better copy from K007) and configure as following
Use same access sequence K007
Cond. class   - A Discount or surcharge
Calculat.type - B Fixed amount
Select Group condition check box
Scale basis   -B Value scale
Add this condition type in pricing procedure at appropriate position.
Maintain Condition record for the customer enter Amount as 10000.00 and click on scales
maintain scales as From 110000 Amount 10000
                                        220000 Amount 20000
This will give discount of 10000 on total purchase of 110000
and value of discount will be splitted in all items in proportion of the value.
try creating sales order and Update

Free goods of different material

Hi Experts,
I have mapped free goods scenario in our system.Its working well for inclusive and exclusive free goods for same material. i.e. If I have a material M1 ordered for 100 units I will get 10 units of the same material M1 free(Exclusive) and two line items generated TAN and TANN.
Similarly for inclusive condition,We have a material A1. If one orders 100 units of A1 he has to pay for 90 units only(TAN) and the remaining 10 units (TANN) comes for free.
Now I want to set up the system in such a manner that If the customer orders a material R1 of 100 units he will get material R2 of 10 units for free.
How do we do this setting? In NA00 itself? If yes please tel me the steps involved.

Randhir

Hi,
Please find the info below.
1.      Free goods can only be supported on a 1:1 ratio. This means that an order item can lead to a free goods item. Agreements in the following form are not supported: 'With material 1, material 2 and material 3 are free of charge' or 'If material 1 and material 2 are ordered at the same time, then material 3 is free of charge'.
2.      Free goods are not supported in combinations with material structures (for example, product selection, BOM, variants with BOM explosion).
3.      Free goods are only supported for sales orders with document category C (for example, not quotations).
4.      Free goods are not supported for deliveries without reference to a sales order.
5.      Free goods cannot be used in make-to-order production, third-party order processing and scheduling agreements.
6.      If you defined a free goods for variants in a generic article (only SAP Retail), you can only process the variants in the purchase order and goods receipt individually (as single articles). In other words, you cannot process them using the generic article matrix

Free Goods (Use of Inclusive & Exclusive at the same time)

Hi Gurrus,
i have a scenario and i need your help.
my company has started given free goods to the customers.
Example,
if a customer buy 4 PAC of material "A", He should get 1 PAC of Material "A" and also 8 PAC of Material "B".
That means I have to use Inclusive and Exclusive at the same time in one order for Material A.
My requiremet is if the order booker enters 4 PAC of Material in an order so system should generate two sub item lines,
1 PAC of Material "A" as "TANN" &
8 PAC of Material "B" as "TANN".
I have tried to capture this through VBN1 but system is only allowing me to enter either inclusive or exclusive condition record for one material.

hi,
ya, it is possible to create free goods for 1:n material for inclusive & exclusive for 2 materials.
create a sale order 2 material with diff qty.& free goods for 2 diff qty for inclusive & exclusive

Pricing date and free goods

Hello Folks,
My understanding is Free goods is determined basically based on quantity as in quantity ordered.
The system re-reads free goods condition record in the sales order when quantities of the main item changes or when Pricing Date changes.
Based on the above, I need to clarify :
1. If free goods is based on quantity, how does a change in the pricing date affect the determination? I assume the by pricing date change, it is referring to the pricing date setting in a free goods condition record.
So, I am not sure why pricing date change requires a re-determination of the condition record for free goods.
Or is it because free goods is determined based on $ amount of goods ordered?
Moreover, its said that when Pricing is Re-Run, free goods determination is un-affected.
Cheers.
John

Hi,
Free goods can be of two types. Inclusive and Exclusive.
Inclusive discount are always value discount. What I mean is, if you buy 10 qty of an item, say 2 qty is free, then, it means, 20% off on the original price. i.e. only 8 are billed and 2 are discounted from pricing.
In exclusive free goods, you are shipping 10 qty of an item + 2 qty of the same item in addition to 10. So, 10 are billed.
When the pricing date in the sales order is changed, how will the system know whether the item being priced on a particular day should allow the free goods or not. So, free goods determination becomes necessary. Hence, it goes thro' free goods determination when you change the pricing date on the sales order.
Hope this helps.

Free goods and order types

Hello,
1) If company is providing free goods, then will it be associated for order type or with pricing condition.
for e.g. On purchase of 100 qty. if 10% foods are free, then how is this associated.
2) Also if i want to provide free goods only for a particular customer group, lets say wholesale, then how will it be associated
with pricing conditions and order type.
Regards

Hi,
There are two cases:-
1.Ur company is providing free goods as a sample.
2.If some customer buys some quantity of product u provide some free goods with it.
1st Case:-
if u want goods to b send as a free sample then u can directly use TANN item category with doc type or .
2nd Case :
Free goods is something that the customer is given after he buys certain quantity of the product/material.
Free goods is a strategy to increase sales volume by luring the customer that if he buys 10 products one will be absolutely free.
Free Goods:Goods that are given as additional goods as part of the ordered goods are called as free goods.Here the unit of measure of free goods should be the same as standard goods.
Example:If you are are ordering 10 maggi sauce bottle you will be paying for only 8 bottles 2 is given as freegoods.
price will not be reflected in pricing or billing.this is inclusive freegoods
Exclusive freegoods.
wherein the freegoods are given as additional good to that of the ordered goods
Example:For 4 coffee vending machine 1 kg coffee powder isgive as free goods
Sample goods:these are the goods which are given as pert of the promotional activity to increase the sales.
here the customer is not paying money.
Free goods - In SAP there are two types Exclusive and Inclusive.
Exclusive - Buy 2 and get 1 free. This means you have to buy minimum 2 pieces then on that you will get 1 piece absolutely free.
Inclusive - Buy 2 get 1 free. In this case it means you are paying for only 1 item and the other item is absolutely free.
Configuration:
IMG - Sales & Distribution - Basic Functions - Free Goods - condition technique for free goods -
1. create the condition table(Take one field as customer group also if u want to provide free goods only for a particular customer group).
2. maintain access sequence and assign the condition table to the access sequence.
3. maintain condition type and assign the access sequence to the condition type.
4. maintain the procedure for free goods and assign the condition type to the free goods procedure.
5. Activate free goods determination. In this enter sales org., dis channel, division , docu pri pro, cust pri pro and the free goods procedure.
6. now go to VBN1 - create free goods determination. Select your condition type, key combination and enter. Here you enter sales org, dis channel, customer no., Valid from and Valid to dates. Then you first select whether it is exclusive or inclusive free goods determination. By default it will be inclusive if you click on exclusive it will become exclusive and on top it will display inclusive. Here you enter minimum quantity for free goods and from what order quantity the number of free goods. You can control the delivery also in the second last column(free goods delivery control).
Save the record. Go to VA01 create the sales order , enter the item and the minimum quantity for free goods .

Inclusive free goods sale without item generation

Dear All,
I have done successfully free goods sale exclusive with item generation but facing problems with inclusive & inclusive without item generation, in VBN1 for NA00 I have maintained following.
material code - Min Qty - 5 - from - 10 PC - are free goods 1 PC- calc rule - 1
for inclusive and exclusive both in VA01 showing extra lines for freee goods (sale as exclusive)
I have searched at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/06/629ee9fb9c11d199ee0000e8a5bd28/content.htm
here it is mentioned that -"In the free goods master record in the Free goods category field, select free goods category 3 (inclusive free goods without item generation)."
But I have not seeing any field in VBN1 t code where I can maintained free goods category as 3. Can anyone revert how I can maintained this free goods category for inclusive free goods without item generation.
regards,
sp shukla

In VBN2 Maintain (scroll right to get all field)
- calc. rule (Calculation type for determining free goods quantity) as 2(Unit reference).
FYI, Others are 1 - Pro rata & 3 - Whole units
- free goods category 3 - Inclusive rebate (w/o item generation; only for sales).
And coorespondingly maintain Free Goods delivery control.

Additional article for free goods- Exclusive Bonus buy

Dear All,
Additional article for free goods in bonus buy
In exclusive free goods, a material different from the orignal material can be specified as the free goods.
Example: A customer who buys 3 pieces of Trouser's, gets 2 pieces of shirt free.
So my question is , how can i add 2 pieces of shirt free if it has different variant (ex: i want to enter Red colour & Green colour article ) in bonus buy, As in Bonus buy we only can enter one line item.
Please help....
Regards
Saurabh

in VBG1
1. enter the name of the Article grouping, e.g. Shirt1
2. at tab Article, enter article number(s) and quantity. in your case, enter the variants of the generic article (one for red shirt, one for green shirt, or whatever). enter quantity 1 for both variants.
3. save
when creating the bonus buy,
1. select radio button Article Grouping
2. enter the article Grouping you just created in "Article Grouping" <--- this is the bonus articles, not the preriquisite
please notice that the "FreeGoods" is 1 - inclusive; however, it doesn't matter here.
this is probably different from what you normally do when creating a normal free goods condition in SD. since the prerequisite article is already maintained in the area below. that means the article grouping you just maintained in step 2 is the bonus. as a result, the 2 articles in the article group are bonus articles.

Inclusive Free Goods Determination ?

Hi,
   Can someone dend me the config. steps for inclusive free goods determination .
Regrds,
Binayak

dear B B
please gothough this
FREE GOODS:
     It can be configure in SAP by following two methods
A)     Manually          B)     Automatically
A) Manually:
By specifying higher level item category for a line item, we can determine free goods as a free of charge items during sale order processing.
B) Automatically:
System proposes free of goods items automatically in the sale order. In automatic free goods configuration system follows two methods
     a) Exclusive          b) Inclusive
Exclusive:
System configures free goods in exclusive option by free goods quantity is going to be excluded in order quantity ex: 10 items, line item is free, then system configures free goods as a ten plus one.
Inclusive:
System configures free goods in inclusive option by free goods quantity is going to be included in order quantity ex: for 10 items, one item is free, and then system configures free goods as Nine plus one
Note: In exclusive method, other items can be given as a free of charge items for order item
Configuration steps:
Inclusive:
SAP follows condition techniques to configure free goods automatically
Maintain pricing procedure:
IMG  SD  Basic functions  Free goods  Condition technique for free goods  maintain pricing procedure
Choose standard pricing procedure NA0001-   free goods (SD) and click on copy as button and re-name it.
Condition type NA00; access sequence -- NA00
Step 2:     Activate free goods determination:
IMG  SD  Basic functions  Free goods  Condition technique for free goods  Activate free goods determination
Go to new entries and specify our sales area, specify document PP- as A, customer PP as one and assign free goods procedure ex: NA0001.
Step 3:     control free goods pricing:
Control pricing for free goods item category
Choose item category TAN and specify the pricing as a X (pricing standard)
Choose item category TANN and specify the pricing as B (100% discount)
Step 4: Maintain condition type for 100 % discount:
     Choose condition type R100 (100% discount)
Step 5: Maintain pricing procedure for pricing:
Choose our PP from position button , select it and click on control data icon and include condition type R100 between steps of discounts & specify requirement = 5 and specify item no: 28 as a 100% discount in alternative formula for condition base value (AltcBV)
The requirement = 55 can be assign to condition type R100. If the user wants to look both
Revenues and sales deductions for the free item since the product that we are going to give as a free of charge item can be sold separately in same sales order the item category of free goods (TANN) has the pricing value as a B then the system calculate value of free goods as 100 % discounts . As we discussed above the same material (that is going to be given as a free of charge item). Some times the same item is going to be given as a normal item, then system calculate price for normal item, system item ( free of charge item ) so here to perform this calculation we have to assign requirement = 55 for condition type R100
Alternative Condition Base Value   = (100% discount)
Condition type R100 should be taken as 0 value the formula 28 calculate condition type R100 values as a 0
Set Transfer of cost to maintain (copy and control)
IMG  SD  Basic functions  Free goods  Control free goods pricing  Set transfer of cost to maintain (copy control)
Copy control is a concept by which the system copies the data from source document to target document.
Choose billing type as F2 and delivery document type LF,
Select it & click on item icon & choose item category TAN, click on details icon and
Click on display-change icon and choose item category TAN again select it & click on details icon and check cumulate cost.
Cumulate cost controls whether the cost value (VPRS) is to be copied from relevant for sub-item into main items sub-item cost are not relevant for billing. Save & exit
Maintain copying control:
IMG  SD  Basic functions  Free goods Control free goods pricing  Maintain copy control
We maintain copying control at item level category for free goods. In this field, we can control whether the free goods should also be transferred when we copy from one document to another document.
Choose source document type as   a QT & target document type as a OR &
Select it & click on item control button under dialogue structure
Choose AGN item category from position button & click on display or change button, again click on AGN & click on details icon and
Checks re-explode structure/ free goods (this indicator controls whether the free goods are coped from source document to target documents or determined again.)
Save and exit.
Maintain condition records for free goods:
Logistics  SD  Master data  Conditions  Free goodsVBN1 (create)
--Specify condition type NA00 & specify sales org. distribution channel, customer number, valid     periods and
--Chose option as inclusive.
--Specify the material number and
--Specify the minimum order quantity,
--Specify the quantity from which the free goods should be applied
--Specify the unit of measure and
--Specify free goods (are free goods) as a one.
Calculation procedure:
We can specify the routines for calculation procedure as a A-   (1- pro- rata- proportionate)
A) Pro-rata:
Ex: if the customer places order for 100 cases of material A, that customer receives 20 cases of same material is free. That is the business can say that buy 100 and get 20.
If customer orders for 162 cases, then the system automatically calculate 32 cases as a free of cost. 162 *20/100 = 32.
B- Unit of reference:
When customer order for 100 cases of material A , then the customer receives additional 20 cases of A as a free of goods items that is the business can sign that buy 100 and get 20 free, by inventing 20 free for every full of 100 cases.
If the customer places order for 162, then system automatically grants only 20 cases.
Formula:     100*20/100 = 20
C- Whole Units:
When customer places order for 100 cases of material of A, then customer receives additional 20 cases of material A that is business can say that buy 100 and get 20 free of charge items.
If customer order for increment of 100 that is ex: for 152 items, he get only 20 . If place the order 200 items, the he gets 40 that inclusive.
Condition records for exclusive:
--Specify the discount type NA001 &
--Click on exclusive option and
--specify the sales organization, distribution channel, customer number, validity periods and materials, minimum quantity, order quantity, unit of measure, and calculation procedure, free goods and
--Specify additional material free goods (if other goods are going to be given as free of charge item) save it and exit.
--Go to VA01 and raise the sales order for inclusive and exclusive and see the free goods effects
Condition Type: NRAB free goods; requiremet-55; AltCBV-29(only for inclusive)
When the customer doesnt want physically fee goods and the free goods price should be deducted from total price ten we can use condition type NRAB, which hides free goods line item in the sales document
Settings:
Pricing for inclusive free goods w/o item generation
--Choose our pricing procedure
-- Include condition type NRAB with requirement 59 and alternative formula for condition base value- 29 between discount condition steps.
--Go to VBN1, maintain condition record for free goods with Inclusive method and make sure that free goods category should be 3( inclusive rebate w/o item generation)
--save it
--Go to VA01, raise the sales order and check NRAB condition type effect.
Requirement 59:
We have to assign requirement 59 to the condition type NRAB. If the customer buys 100 cases of product A then we receives 10 cases of product free.
If the user would not like the additional like items in the sales order for free goods rather than he discount of 10 cases be represented in the same line item as the other 90 cases. If the free goods discount should not applied as credit for return that doesnt make reference previous discounts.
Alt formula for condition base value-29:
The condition type NRAB is to be assigned with 29 formulas to support inclusive free goods agreements where the user would have to apply the discount to the order item rather than having a sub-item generated for the free quality. Ex: the customer having a free sub-item generated by the system to represent the 10 free cases. The user could like to have a discount applied to the 100 cases like item equal to the value of the 10 cases.
Note: Free goods can only be configuring on only document type C that means. We cant configure free goods inquiries in quotations.

Sales BOM And Free Goods workaround

we have 1 good with a sale BOM and we want to give the Same good away as a free good, so if the customer buys 10 he gets one free, however there is a problem with the BOM not exploding. Can anyone suggest a workaround this.

Hi
I think this is a standard sap issue.
When we give a free good the item category becomes TANN. Now BOM material will have different item category. TAB.
Now for BOM category material, i think there is no free good item category. Probably u can try creating a new category which wil be a free goods category and which will carry all the characteristics of BOM mateerial.
Furthermore i think this will be issue only with exclusive free goods. But if u have inclusive free goods then there will be no BOM issue as there will be no other line item added for free goods.
Kind regards
Sandeep

VPRS with Free Goods and Batch Determination

Dear Experts,
I have a problem on the products billing with Free Goods.
I will explain this, before the implementation of Batch Management (with batch split) the billing document show the condition VPRS on the main item (TAN) and the free goods item (TANN).
Now, when the Batch Management was up, the condition VPRS disappeared on the TANN item, I checked the order and it does shows the VPRS conditions. When i check the conditions on the billing document it shows me the following message when i check the VPRS condition
Condition ignored (requirement 004 not fulfilled)
Then I tried to debug the price determination and i realized that only on the TANN position the field komp-evrwr (price determination on the item category) is not 'X'.
Aditionally i can mention thar the batch split item category is defined as YG05.
Actually i only managed to show the cumulated VPRS cost on the main item.
Please someone say to me if this correct or there is a way to put the VPRS on the free goods item.
Javier Sandoval Vera

Dear Javier Sandoval Vera,
As per the standard pricing Routine 4-Cost system may calculate the cost only for the pricing related materials,here TANN item is not relavent for pricing so system is giving that message.
If you want consider non priced item also in the cost calculation then you can develop new routine as per your requirement with the help of ABAPer. (by copyingh the existing routine 4 then do the changes accordingly).
Or
You can maintain R100 -100% discount condition type in your pricing procedure,maintain settings as manual condition.
Now maintained the price relevant check for free item also then give the 100% -discount by entering R100 condition type manually with 100% discount for that specific item to make the item price as zero.
Now sytem will calculate the VPRS value without fail.
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

Hi Javier,
what do you do with the VPRS in your calculation- system ?
If you need i, you delete the requirement 004 in your calculation -system.
on the other hand, you can change TANN to komp-evrwr (price determination on the item category) is 'X'. Then you have to add an 100% rabate for TANN and the resukt will be free good.
