Item category TAK - free of charge
Hello!
We use item category TAK, but now face the request to send TAK items free of charge.
Normally i would use order type FD, but this has no assigned item category for "0001 make-to-order"
No item category available (Table T184 FD 0001 )
Now i wonder how to continue correctly.
In the order there's TANN as a free of charge variant for TAN
in order type FD, there's item category KLN (only for "normal lines"!?)
Do i need to set up a "Z"- item category or is there any standard that i don't find / understand!?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Regards
Markus
Hello,
you shoud create a Z* item category as copy of the TAK, but without billing relevance (like KLN).
On top of that, all the customizing item-level relevant, should be the proper mix of both the items used as reference (i.e. the incompletion rule of your Z* item should have the NETWR field in the incompletion procedure).
Best regards,
Andrea

Item Category Usage: Free
Hi
Want to know significance of Usage Free, know that used in VOV4 , but scenario where this is used , for eg when we define TAN and higher level Item Vcat as TAN the result is TANN.
Also I have searched the usage field in MARD/MARC/MARA, no mention of usage field
Document type OR
Item cat group NORM
Usage FREE
Higher level item category TAN
Default Item category TANN
Regards
RohitHi bahlrohit1,
Usage field will tell what is the purpose of Particular Material
Example:
FREE: For free goods Material
CHSP: Batch Items
TEXT: Text Materilals..etc
Higher level item category and Item usage are used in the item category determination.
Let me take an example of Item Category TANN (Free of charge Item)
Item category Determination: Sales Document type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category
TA + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN
Higher Level Item category: The category on which this item category is dependent. meaning for TAN , TANN is a free item. Therefor TAN is the higher level item category.
Item Category Usage: It controls system response during document processing. The line item has an specific usage according to that usage it has to respond. Free for free items, text for text items etc.
Please go thru the below issues
Re: "item usage"
Thanks,

Determination of a different item category for free goos
Please help me with this:
- I need on va01 determine a different item category with free goods, instead of tann and tan i want to use another ones only when i use exclusive free goods.
I use inlcusive and exclusive free goods conditions but i want to use with the exclusive free goods on va01 a different item category and i don´t know how to do it.
Thanks in advance.
CatarinaThanks for your answer.
I create two new item categories : ZTN1 copy of TAN and ZTNN Copy of TANN.
I assigned to sales order entry -» OT, NORM, FREE, ZTN1 assign ZTNN. But i also have another assignement with OT, NORM, FREE, TAN assing TANN. How can i define if the system has to determine one or another because by default the system assumes TAN and TANN for free goods and if i want another item category i have to modify manually in order process.
Thanks,

Item category TAK in sales order.
Hi all,
Actually i am a PP guy. One of out user want customer specific planned and production order. For that he want to change item category in sales order From TAN to TAK. he want the system should directly create sales order for that item with item category TAK. I manually changrd item category to TAK tested this in sanbox but system is not creating sales order specific planned and production orders after changing item category to TAK also. I also tried changing strategy to 20, 40, 82 but item category was not TAK.
Does item category is determined by strategy group in MRP 3.
When I changed item category to TAK why planned and production order were NOT sales order specific.
Pl explain
ThanksHi,
how system come to know which item catwegory is to be used in sales order.
In your case, for TAK..if u check in VOV4 the item category determination must be like this...
Sales Order typeItem category grp(from Mat.master)UsageHigher level item cat.grpDefault item categ
OR0001(make to order) BlankBlankTAK
This ishow ur item categ wud get determined in sales orders...
i wanted to know waht ia significance of TAK as item category in sales order
I beleive TAK does not have any specific settings for MTO scnario..it's merely a copy of TAN..Only Item cat.grp 0001 does matter in MTO scenario...and ofcourse strat.type from PP perspective..

Item category for free goods that does not require extra free goods
Hi all,
I have created 3 item categories (ZM1J, ZM0J and ZMFJ)
ZM1J is standard item for sales
ZM0J is free goods
ZMFJ is also free goods
I have setup VBN1 for free goods "buy 10 get 1 free" and my order is including these 3 item categories
ZM1J 10 EA and ZM0J 1 EA. These 2 lines are correct as I need.
Then I give other free goods which is ZMFJ 10 EA and system is asking me to give free goods 1 EA but I don't want to give free goods for ZMFJ. I will deliver only 21 EA (10 for sales and 11 for free)
What config it should do for this case?
Another question, ZM0J is selected by default. How to manually change it to ZMFJ in sales order? This is because some case, I still need to use ZM0J.
Please advise. Thank you very much.

DarinHi,
Item category is determined by the four combination
Sales order + item category group + usage + item category at higher level.
Now you are using free goods determination procedure.
So that does not depend upon item category determination.
You have to define the item category determination so that proper delivery and proper pricing happens.
Now if you are giving 10more free item for which you have maintain free goods determination master data.
Then system will automatically give one more free goods for that material.
but if you giving some other material as a free goods then please let me know.
Give your requirement that in which way you want to process your ZMFJ then we can give you better suggestion.
To define alternative item category go to
IMG u2013 SD u2013 Sales u2013 Sales documents u2013 sales document item u2013 assign item category.
Over here you can assign alternative item category for your combination.
If you assign over here then you can change manually in the sales order.

Item categories for Free of charge items
Hi Gururs,
In the standard SAP the Item categories AFNN,AGNN and TANN are defined. Can the free goods be determined in Inquiry and Quotation(in any sales document with document category other than C-i.e.Order). If not possible, then what is the purpose of defining AFNN and AGNN.
Thanks in advance
RaviHi Sankar,
I can confirm that a free goods determination cannot be enabled for any sales document category other than C. In some of the OSS notes, it is clearly stated that free goods is meant only for sales document category C.
However the purpose of AGNN, and AFNN are not known. When i checked the configuration, these 2 ICs have configuration which are different from TANN in some of the aspects, especially the pricing field, that itself says that AGNN and AFNN are not meant for Free goods.
However, I will confirm on the purpose of these ICs in sometime, as I am exploring that.
YOU CAN READ THE OSS NOTE 549505 ON FREE GOODS, WHICH CONFIRMS THIS. IF YOU WANT THE NOTES, LEMME KNOW UR EMAIL ID.
Reward if this helps.

Account assignment by item category
Hello Experts!
Is it possible to assign all sales order items with item category TANN (free of charge) to a separate G/L account and profit centre? My client's account dept. wants to separate these postings from normal sold items so that it does not affect the margins.
I don't think it's possible but I wanted to check first.
Thanks,
AlvinHi Alvin,
Acc Det takes place wth mat acc assignment / cust acc assign.. which is standard.
Your requirement is based on item cat. Since Acc Determination uses condition technique you can give a try using item category as one of parameters. This might need developement also since you are going to add a new field in the condition technique.
If you this is mandatory requirement - you might also want to think more development putting a user exit / ztable combination telling TANN - goes to your required profit centre. So standard would derive a G/L but your code is going to over write with teh custom determined GL.

Hi,
I'm a bit confused about blocking free of charge orders.
I know there are free of charge Sales Doc categories and you can block them. If you create a free of charge sales doc do you still have to put the item category as free of charge for the item to be free of charge? And vice versa can you put a free of charge item category in a normal sales document?
I also know there are item categories which give 100% discount e.g. TAN but my company has TAN set to Pricing X in TVAP so does that mean TAN not a free of charge category??
Using TVAP I can see 7 Z categories using Pricing B i.e. 100% disocunt. Does that mean that these are the only item categories that can be used for free of charge goods?
There appears to be several free of charge sales doc types configured but not blocked, to ensure all free of charge items are blocked for delivery do you block at item category for ones with pricing of B? If so how?
Thanks for your help,
CTHi
The TANN item category says, the pricing is B - which says, the Item is priced but 100% discount.
Here in sales order at line item level for the material with item category TANN - if you observe in the conditions tab - the pricing will happen as that of the main item or normal item and at the end of it 100% discount will be determioned with the help of the condition type R100 in the pricing procedure. The requirement for this condition type R100 reads the pricing field in the item category and if the value is B then determines the value as discount.
Regarding the categorisation of the sales document types...there are four categories,
1. Pre sales - Inquiry and Quotation
2. Sales - Standard Order, Rush Order, Cash Sales, Deliver Free of Charge
3. Outline agreements - Contracts and Scheduling Agreements
4. Complaints - Returns, Cr Memo Request, Debit Memo Request, Subsequent Delivery Free of Charge
Thanks,
Ravi

Freight Conditions not populating on free of charge sales order deliveries
I need some assistance, please. I have searched SCN, but have not been able to find a solution to my problem.
We need to be able to charge freight charges on Free of Charge sales orders and am not able to get the charges to populate in the delivery. We send the product for free, but sometimes need to charge the customer shipping charges.
Below are steps I have completed:
Created custom header condition of ZFRC
Added to sales order pricing procedure as a manual condition
(the charge will be updated from external system)
Created Delivery Pricing procedure containing only my
freight conditions (also manual condition)
VTLA settings for item category KLN (free of charge item):Condition Order requirements – 1 Header
VTFL settings for item category KLN:
Pricing Type – D Copy pricing elements unchanged
Price Source – E Delivery/Order
There are times when the freight charges will be added to the sales order, but I also need to be able to add them directly on the delivery.
When charges are added directly to the sales order, they will flow thru to the invoice without an issue, but when I try to add at the delivery level, they are not populating, which results in $0 invoice.
I am not receiving any kind of error messages when trying to add the charges.
We also have this situation with standard orders, but I am not having any problems with it. I tried to mimic that set up for free of charge orders, but it is not functioning properly.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks!Hi Amitesh,
Yes, the condition type used in the Sales Order is the same, ZFRC and it is also a header condition.
The condition analysis is not available in the invoice because there is no condition in the invoice. Below are screen shots of the analysis from the LINE ITEM of the delivery note (there is not analysis available on the header) and the header details of the conditions from the invoice and the delivery.
Line Item Analysis:
Delivery Header Details:
Invoice Header Details:
Please let me know if you need further information.

We need a No-Charge TAQ item Category for a Sales BOM
We have a situation where we will bring in several Sales BOM's on a Sales order, but need to have one or more of the Sales BOM's to be a No-Charge item (similar to a TANN Item Cat).
We are using ERLA (top down) Item Category Group for the Sales BOM materials and when we use these materials in a sales order I would like to be able to change the some of the Sales BOM's Item Category to a No Charge category (we created a ZAQ item category for this situation), but when you creating the Sales Order, the top level item where the pricing is (the TAQ item category) is GRAYED out and I can not change it to our new ZAQ category, even though it appears in the drop down list for the Item Category.
Is there any way to make the top level TAQ item category for Item Cat. Group ERLA a maintainable field on the Sales order?As I know- std , will not support Return scenario of Sales BOM & Free goods.
Work around may be needed to achieve this, other than standard.
Create Zitem category by copying from REN - (ZREN - with structure scope & application), determine item category for sub items as well.
Maintain copy controls accordingly from RE to LR - Ret delivery & RE- Credit for returns.
Test & revert.
