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.

Scale in pricing and free goods.

Hi All,
Can anyone plz tell me ,What is the role and how to use the scale in pricing and free goods determination.
Regards,
Ashima

hi,
. Create a condition by copying a a standard condition like BO03 in V/06
2. Assign this condition in the std pricing procedure with acct key as ERB and accural key as ERU - V/08
3.Create a Rebate Agreement in VBO1 (It is O = Owl and not zero). No will be generated
choose 003 - Customer rebates, enter the customer code, the validity and check for the status shld be in Open, click on the conditions enter the percentage and accrual amount. You also can have scales in this. Also you need to maintain the material for the settlement
4. Create a sales order for that customer and check the rebate agreement.
5. You can see the rebate condition in the invoice only.
6. Once you have posted the invoices, then go to rebate agrrement no. clicl on verfication and it will show the order details.
7. For settlement change the status of the rebate to B - release for the settlement.
8. Credit memo request will b generated copy the no. and go to VA02, remove the blocks if any and create an invoice (credit memo).this will show u the accrual amount.
9. In both the invoice and the credit memo check the posting - accounting document it will show u the accrual as negative.
10. Again go to rebate aggreement and check the status it will show you D - Final settlement of agreement already carried out

Pricing procedure of free goods

Could anyone please tell me the effect of pricing procedure in free godds?And what is the difference between pricing procedure in free goods(IMG->Sales and Distribution->Basic Funcions->Free Goods) and pricing procedure in pricing(IMG->Sales and Distribution->Basic Funcions->Pricing)

Hi Wei Zhang,
When there are more than 2 materials say material A which is of some price, and material B which is Free of cost, then the item category will be different for those. TAN for Mat A and TANN for materail B.
Pricing is depends upon the customer pricing procedure and document pricing procedure along with the Sales Area.
When there are free Goods, Again yu have two conditions
1. Give 100 % discount on free goods.
2. Or charge 0 value for that.
This pricing procedure you can do in free goods priocing procedure.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Raja

You can use the t.code SHD0, choose your transaction variant here, further choose your screen variant.
Next select your screen variant and in the Menu bar select Variant> change with processing>Make repairs in foreign namespaces only if they are urgent> Continue(Enter)>again 'enter'>Object can only be created in SAP package>continue(enter)> Exit and save >This variant contains other screens, adopt these as well?>enter>enter> scroll down to the entry 'pricing date' or VBKD-PRSDT make the necessary changes and save.
The system will prompt to assign a package and request enter the necessary values.
Your issue is sorted!!

GATP in APO and Free Goods Pricing Records in R/3

We have set up Free Goods in SAP R/3. These free goods are granted based upon a series of access sequences in pricing.
We also have our Order Entry system using GATP on our APO box. In that APO instance, we have set up a large number of product substitutions to occur at order time.
When an item is ordered that is NOT subbed to different item by APO and that item has Free Goods associated with it, the Free Goods are granted by R/3 and placed onto the sales order.
When an item is ordered that IS subbed to different item by APO and that item has Free Goods associated with it, the Free Goods are NOT granted by R/3.
Why are the Free Goods being ignored after the substitution? We have Free Goods records in pricing for BOTH items, and neither one is granting the Free Goods.
Is this a bug, a feature, or an oversight ?
Any help in this area will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Hi John,
GATP in APO does not supports Free Goods.

Free of charge delivery and free goods

hello,
I need clarification on the following.
There are two different things. one is free of charge delivery and the other is free goods.
1) for free of charge delivery, order type is FD , I think we have to maintain TANN(with pricing as B,100% discount). This will trigger R100 as 100% discount condition in pricing procedure. Am i right ?
2) The other is Free goods determination(OR order type). where free goods condition records are maintained and gets determined in sales order. for this scenario, TAN and TANN (100% disc) is maintained in item caterory determination. I think in this case NRAB is required and not R100 in pricing ? am i right ? ..

Pricing error in free goods position

Hi all,
I have a strange error when save a sales order with position about free material.
During the creation I can see the pricing scheme correct, with all the condition (price, subtotal, rebates of 100%, ecc.), but after I save the order, when I display again the sales order, the pricing scheme for the free goods position not cointains any condition (no price, no discount, ecc.) but only the subtotals.
I don't understand what the system doing during saving document.
The free goods position have a custom category type of position; for this, in the pricing scheme I apply a discount of 100% to make free the position.
The user tell me about this problem only when he try to bill the order, because when he creates the shipping, he didn't have any problem.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance
Alessandra

Hi Allessandra,
When the free goods are determined and priced properly while creating the document, there should not be any problem with the configuration settings. The problem is that something inintended is happening when the document is saved. Please ask your ABAPer to debug that and I guess some changes might have taken place in the program SAPMV45A (MV45AFZZ)and check for the coding in the Userexits
USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT and USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE.
Pleae try this way and you may get the solution.
Thanks

Pricing determination for free goods

Hi Experts,
Please help me for the following issue:
This is with regarding pricing determination. I have a requirement that, for each 10 quantities of Material ABC sold out, 3 quantities of same material ABC is given free. In VBN1, I have set the requirements as such.
Material ABC has Basic discount of 20%, Excise duties and VAT.
While entering 10 quantities in 1st line item of Sale order, automatically 2nd line item generates with 3 quantities of the Same material. Item category for 2nd line items is TANN:
ORNORM_______+ TAN = TANN.
In VOV7, have defined Pricing as "B =Pricing for free goods(100% discount)" for TANN. The issue here is,
For the 2nd line item (Free goods), negative values and Tax values are getting updated because system calculates BED, VAT, 20% discount for both line items in the sale order.
When I changed the Pricing as Blank (No Pricing) in TANN item category. 2nd line item also (i.e free goods) behaves like 1st line item (Chargeable). I want the system to calculate VAT, BED, 20% discount only for the chargeable item not for free goods.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Experts,
Thank you for your valuable time.
R100 condition type is already being used before taxes and discount.
System calculation as below:
1st line item (Chargeable): For 10 quantities
DNP -
5000
Discount 4% -
200 (Negative)
BED 10.3% -
468.6
Vat 13.5%----
648
Total----{4800 + 468 (BED) + 648 (Vat)}
2nd Line item (Free goods): For 3 Quantities
DNP----
1500
R100 Discount----1500 (Negative) = Value is getting zero here itself {DNP - R100 (1500 - 1500)}
Discount 4%----
60 (Negative)
BED 10.3%----
140
Vat 13.5%----
194.4
Total----{60(Negative) + 140(BED) + 194.4 (Vat)}
For the 2nd line item, negative 60 value, BED and Vat values are being calculated.
Hope that I have specified my requirement clearly, can you please let me know what should be done, if there should be no 4% discount, BED and Vat values for 2nd line item (Free goods).
Thank you,
Vijay N

Promotion: points collection and free goods

Dear experts,
our Sales Dept. is going to propose special promotions based on points
collection. For example, each time a customer orders 100 PCS he is
awarded with 1 point.
At the end of the promotion validity period, he gets the right to
receive a free merchandise, whose value depends on the total number of
collected points.
It is something very similar to promotions used by airline (points per
mile) and oil companies (points per liter).
Pointing out that the problem is not the management of free goods, but
just the accumulation of points, anyway we were not able to find a
suitable standard solution in SAP up to now (free goods determination
seems not useful, as we do not want generation of a new item nor a
discount; standard pricing results always in a currency amount, while
we need just "points").
How would you solve this issue?
Thank you in advance,
-Luca-

Hi,
I doubt whether this is possible using standard SAP.
If the free merchandise is outside the company's product range - all you can do is just generate a report for each customer using SIS for the campaign period, to calculate the total qty the customer has purchased. You can calculate the reward points from this to determine the free merchandise.
I do not see any reason why this needs to be tracked within orders/billing document as this expense would anyway be accounted under the marketing budgets, if accounting was your concern.
May be if you can explain the exact need, we can think of alternatives,
Thanks,
Siva
