Free Item Indicator on PO and SAP standards

Hi,
1. I'm trying to find the 'free item' indicator on my PO, but I'm not sure where it can be found. Where on the screen would this be located? Can I not find it because it's not configured in SPRO?
2. Just to confirm, say company X receives 110 items when they made a PO for 100. 10 items are free. Is the SAP standard to GR 100 and make a PO for 10 free items, and then finally GR these 10 free items?
I've searched on the forum but couldn't come up with anything.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
According to the description, the scenario can be achieved by "free goods item" via condition
NR00 in info record.
1. you allow "grant discount in kind" in vendor master-> purchasing view
2. allow "Qual.f.FreeGoodsDis" in material master-> purchasing view
3. in info record-> condition screen->press "Free goods" button, and maintain the condition
    NR00 for example 100 PC/10 PC free.
4. customizing
    OLME
    ->Discount in Kind (Discount in Form of Bonus Goods)
    ->Define And Assign Discount-in-Kind Schema
    ->Determine Free Goods Schema
    set schema = NR0001 for "purchase group"/"Calculation Schema" combination
Then when creating PO with quantity 100 PC, apart from the main item, there would be another
subitem with "subitem category" = 4 derived by system automatically.
When doing the GR, 2 lines will be proposed, however only main item will be reflected in
accounting.
When doing invoice, also only the main item will have amount.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards,
Polly

Free Item indicator is SET but value appearing in MB51

Hello MM Guru’s,
I have PO with Acc Assignment – Q (Project) and activated Free Item indicator when I do GR with Movement type – 101 / Q accounting document gets generated. As per my understanding SAP standard behavior is if I perform GR for FOC item accounting document should not trigger.
When I check the same in transaction MB51, I could able to view the Amount in LC for the respective PO which in turn makes inconsistencies in system.
Please let me know how to clear these inconsistencies in system.
Revert back in case of any additional information required from my end.
Note: In PO history tab page Amount in LC not appearing but it is appearing only in transaction MB51.
Regards,
Kumar S

SAP Guru's,
Replicated the issue in Q environment and issue is appearing as similar to P environment.
Created 2 Purchase requisition via network
Created 2 POs w r to Purchase requisition that is Free item tick is activated.
GR done for 1st PO --> Amount in LC not appearing in MB51
GR done for 2nd PO --> Amount in LC appearing in MB51.
In this case price control-V then as per my understanding the stock is updated on a quantity basis only,not on a value basis.
Hence for the 2nd PO while doing GR amount should not get updated in transaction MB51.
Please let me know how to clear the inconsistencies in Q environment.If no solution then please let me know whether I can reach out SAP for the same or not.
Need your valuable input on the same.
Cheers,

Migration of PO with "free item" indicator not working (BAPI_PO_CREATE1)

Hi experts,
we are using the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to migrate POs. However, when we try to create a line item with a price of 0.0 and a "free item" indicator, the PO is created with a price and without the "free item" indicator (price seems to be coming from source list).
Did anyone run into this problem before with BAPI_PO_CREATE1?
Thanks!

Hi
I suggest you not to use any price in the field
POITEM - NET_PRICE & donot flag the same in POITEMX
& flag the field POITEM - FREE_ITEM & also check the same in POITEMX
I have tested this & it works fine.
Thanks & Regards

BADI to uncheck free item indicator (field UMSON) in PO through ME21N)

Hi All,
I have a requirement to remove the UMSON ( free item ") indicator while creating a PO using ME21N transaction based on the input from user. If material starts with 'P' and it is a standard order, then this field should be unchecked for that particular item. I am implementing the BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST and method CHECK. However, I find that though the PO is held and not saved, the value of UMSON field is not changed.
This is the code.
DATA:   lt_mepoitem   TYPE purchase_order_items,
        ls_mepoitem   TYPE purchase_order_item,
        ls_mepoheader TYPE mepoheader,
        ls_head       TYPE REF TO if_purchase_order_mm,
        ls_item       TYPE mepoitem,
        ls_local      TYPE ttyp_fieldselection_mm,
        ls_inval      TYPE REF TO if_purchase_order_item_mm,
        l_error       TYPE c.
INCLUDE mm_messages_mac. "useful macros for message handling
ls_mepoheader = im_header->get_data( ).
lt_mepoitem = im_header->get_items( ).
IF ls_mepoheader-bsart = 'NB' .
    LOOP AT lt_mepoitem INTO ls_mepoitem.
      ls_item = ls_mepoitem-item->get_data( ).
      IF ls_item-matnr(1) = 'P' AND ls_item-umson IS NOT INITIAL .
        ls_item-umson = space.
        l_error = 'X'.
        CALL METHOD ls_mepoitem-item->set_data
          EXPORTING
            im_data = ls_item.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    IF l_error = 'X'.
      ch_failed = 'X'.
      mmpur_message_forced 'E' 'ME' '303' text-001 '' '' ''.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing or where this can be implemented?
Thanks

hi,
With Error it won' t allow you to save PO.
What i would suggest is that
either you give message that indicator need to checked or unchecked as per condition. and let user change is manually and
you check it in BADI and then save it .
or you change free item check as per your requirement in BADi and give a information message that this item is to be checked for free goods or need to be unchecked .

Free item Indicator in PR (ME51N)

Free Item check box not appearing in PR- item overiview (ME51N).
How can I get that in PR item overview screen????

Hello Atul,
PR is an internal document that User/Department gives to Purchase department for giving details about the requirement that is why SAP doesn't provide free indicator in this transaction me51n.
As PO is an external document and we need to provide the price for making a PO, so that is why SAP provides field in me21n from marking free indicators.
As pricing available in PO is not available in Me51n in the same way free indicator is not availble.

Free Items in Import Purchase Order

Hi All,
How to handle a FOC materials ( No payment to Vendor) in Import PO.
I have an Import Purchase order (FOC items) with all the applicable Duties and i have to pay only the Duties to the Customs and not to Vendor.
How to handle this scenario in SAP????
Regards,
Kumar Rayudu

Dear Kumar,
Free of Cost (FOC) materials can be handled in two ways;
(a) Through PO using Free Items clicking ICON in transaction code ME21N
(b) Through manitaining condition records using transaction code MBN1
Using this, materials can receive free of goods...that means....you can make goods receipt....but not valuated....i mean.....no liability will create.
Hope this information will be useful.

Free item issued upon purchase of another by client.

Dear All;
In our sales operations when a customer buys certain types of material, for each unit he buys, he is offered a free item of another type. For example, if a customer buys an item A, he is offered another of type A1, but is not charged for it.
A sales order is created for only item A, but during delivery creation, the system picks both item A and A1. When invoicing both A and A1 are shown on the document, but the value of A1 is not included in the cost.
Kindly help me understand the settings i need to make in order to have this work.
Thanks in advance.
Richard.

Hai Richard,
Please check
Free Goods from One Material Group to Another Material Group
Free Goods sub item split in two line items
And please do config and post the error if any.

Mani

VPRS and free items

I want to configure that for free items VPRS (cost) is not mandatory while for other VPRS (cost) is mandatory in pricing,how can i do that?

Hi,
In IMG (SPRO) Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Pricing By Item Category -> Activate cost determination for item categories, for free Item category (TANN) delete the X character from cost determination.

Item sold, returned back by customer due to defect and free item given

We have a scenario in the company as below:
1) We sell car battery to customers. We follow SD cycle and bill it to customer - Handled in SAP SD
2) Sometimes if battery is defective, customer returns it back to company - no records only taking battery manually
3) We issue a free replacement battery via SD as FoC (free of charge) - Handled in SAP SD
Currently we have no control in SAP for step 2. It is completely manual and we cannot know the current status of such returned batteries.
We would like to take step 2 into SAP with zero value as returns.Take it in to stock and dispose it off via SAP.
Am not able to get round it.

As you should be aware, when you create a return sale order with reference to parent billing document, the corresponding data from the source document would be copied to the subsequent document. Having said this, since the material (Battery) would have been created as a Valuated material, if you create a return delivery with reference to the parent billing document, obviously, inventory to that extent would be increased. In order to avoid this, what you can do is assign item category TAX or TAW to your return order, so that there won't be any impact to your inventory even if you do return delivery in SAP.
The other option is to create a return order directly without referencing the parent billing document. In this case, you can differentiate the material code with material type as UNBW and follow the normal SD process. Only by testing these scenarios, you will come to know which one suits the business requirement both from SD and FI perspective. Share the outcome after your testing.
Of course, with either of the above options, you can track how much batteries were returned for any given period, from SD point of view.

Free of Charge indicator in Purchase Order / Line item

Dear All,
Is there a table where i could locate if a particular purchase order / line item has the FOC tick maintained. I went through quite a few tables and am unable to locate the same.
Or is there any other logic from which i could derive if a particular Purchase Order / Line item is FOC or not.
Shall await a reply
thanks
shabeen buhary

Dear,
The 'Free Items' indicator in the overview is only used to facilitate the switching off of the Inv.Receipt flag and the GR-based IV flag.
Note that the 'Free Items' indicator is not stored on the PO item table EKPO.
The Inv.Receipt flag (and the GR-based IV flag) are the fields that really controls if an item is 'free' or not.
So, the field is initiated based on the values in those fields rather than from input from the user.
When an invoice is expected it's not a free-item. This indicator invoice receipt is chosen from the main-item and also from the
customization maintained for item category 0 in table T163.

Syed Hussain.
