Returns of Promo material & Free of cost

Actually we are a pharmacuetical company and we have business scenarios that we give our marketing team promotional material which are free of cost and based on zero value means we maintain their stock in quantities only and also at the time of order processing we donot generate the invoices for such types of orders (due to zero value of order) because the items are already charged of to different departments .
some times it happens that we need to take back those items from our marketing team in the shape of return order, so my question is that what SAP best practices says about processing return order for such materials, how can i configure my system to process return cycle for those item.
kindly guruus help me out

Hi,
process the return sales order (RE) with reference to FD (your free sales order), becasue u didnt have billing document reference (this is actually sap standard, taking billing document is not sap standard). You definitely have perfect copy controls between OR to RE. then make sure item category determination settings like below;
REnormfree+nil=RENN
and then take PGR.
this is as per me is the best practice, which is purely SAP standard.

Returning Demaged Material and getting new Material free of Cost

Dear Experts
As per my sceneriao ,one of our Bearing is got demaged and we told to vendor for the replaement.Once replacemnt is recived we will send back demaged material what is correct Cycle for this.
Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
As per your scenario, one of our Bearing is got damaged and returned to vendor for the replacement. Once replacement is receivedwilll send back the damaged material the correct Cycle for this is as below.
You can create a single PO for free of goods PO by ticking 'Free Item" indicator & item which has to be return with 'Return" tick.
Now in MIGO, enter PO number & post the document. For free goods, there won't be accounting entry. Same you can not have liability to pay anything to vendor.
For Return Goods, have to use movt type 161 which reduces your inventory & inventory account will get credited & GR/IR will get debited. If previously MRO vendor invoice posting was happened then you have do MIRO-Credit MEMO in order to reverse the amount. If you had carried out returned delivery before MIRO vendor invoice posting then system automatically take care of the qty when you performed MIRO which will post after reducing return delivery qty. Hope this helps you.

Free of cost material but the planned delivery cost is to be invoiced

Hi,
We are having a scenario where in we receive material free of cost but have to pay for the delivery cost to the vendor.
We are creating Purchase order with the "free item" checked and we are maintaining the freight condition at the header level as at the item level as soon as you check the free item check box, the conditions tab disappears.
Secondly if we are maintaining planned delivery at the header level it requires the Invoice check box to be checked. Which is not possible to maintain with the free check box ticked.
Have maintained the vendor master without the GR based IV tick.
Request to kindly do let us know where have we missed out.
Regards,
mahesh.

one of the way out of this issue is
give a heavy discount on that material from vendor and put the price of material such as to do the frieght .but if u r having moving average price for that material thenit is not at all preffered

Problem regarding Purchase Order with Free of Cost Material

Dear Xperts,
I am facing problems while doing Goods Receipt of a Purchase Order having all the materials we are going to receive Free of Cost from the Vendor.
This case is happening with Doemstic and as well as Importer Vendors also.
Problems to be solved:
1. If we are using Tax Code(with excise conditions) ,excise duty calculation does not take pace automatically at Goods Receipt as the Material Value is Zero on which the duties will be calculated for a Manufactuing Plant.
2. This case seems very problammatic if that Purchase Order is having almost thousand line items.The user has to enter all the Excise duties manually for each & every line item during Goods receipt in a manufacturing Plant.
3. In case of Importer Purchase Order also, the CVD portion & CESS on CVD portion user has to enter manually.
4. To solve this problem we are not using Free Goods Indicator in PO, we are entering 0.01 paisa , but during the MIRO of Planned Delivery Costs , the system is not showing or providing POP-ups of those relevant condition types to the user to enter the actual amount.
Please advice, how can we proceed in this case.
Regards,
Soumick

First you are putting 0.01 value . So the planned delivery cost is not showing coz if say tax is 8% then 0.01 x 0.08 will be 0.0008. It will take first two digit after decimal and hence its 0.00 and hence plannded delivery cost is not showing.
If you put 0.5 you will be able to put planned delivery cost in MIRO
Now regarding value is zero and how will the import duty be calculated. May be make a pricing routine where in the custom duty is not calculated on this base price 0.5 or 0.01 but on the actual value if it was not free of cost and that value you can maintain through MEK1 transaction code.
And while posting MIRO or MIGO you need to identify that these are free of cost material and use BADI fi_ac_document
and may be replace the actual GL with some other GL so that 0.5 or 0.01 does not add to your inventory cost and you could knock off later.

Free of cost Material

Hello,
We have a scenario in which their exists a material ( finished trading goods ) having moving average price as price control indicator is V.
Suppose stock of material is 1 now with moving average price as V, hence total stock value is 100.
Now we receive the same material from the group company as free of cost i.e without any value.
Is it possible in standard SAP that moving average price should remain at 100 with stock qty as 2 when GR for free of cost material is done ( I think this could be achieve by defining the new movement type and settings in customization with only qty update and no value update ).
Even if we achive the above thing stock value would be 200 as stock qty 2 and moving average price as 100.
Is it possible in standard SAP to keep the stock qty as 2, MAP as 100 and stock value as 100 after receipt of material as free of cost.

first of all free goods tick is available in PO line item.
second scenario
if you have 2 quantity with moving average price 100 so total value will be 200
if you did GR of 2 quantity free of cost then no value will be added. the total stock value will remain 200 for quantity 4. but MAP per piece will change to 50. so stock 4 total value 200 MAP will be 50.

Free Of Cost Material Receipt & Issue

Dear Expert
We have received some materials free of cost from govt. , and also we have issued same material to our project/cost centre free of cost. Pl. guide us how to receipt & issue free of cost material to the cost centre/Project.
Thanks & Regards
Piyush Dave

If you receive a delivery free of charge from the vendor, you must first determine whether a purchase order was created for it or not.
A delivery free of charge increases both total valuated and unrestricted-use stock of the material.
Activities
Entering a Delivery Free of Charge with Reference to a Purchase Order
If the Purchasing component ordered a material with a price of zero and specified in the purchase order that no invoice is expected for the delivery, you post the goods receipt with reference to the purchase order.
Entering a Delivery Free of Charge Without Reference to a Purchase Order
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

Exicse for free of Cost Material

Hello,
I have a question regarding Excise on Free of cost Material. When we are sending material to Customer as a sample or free of cost then we do not pass any accounting entry for the same during VF01.
In the above scenario how do we capture the excise in our system..Please guide me.
Br,Vivek

Hi taurian,
This is very simple.
in the Pricing Procedure for FOC, shall I maintain the Excise Condition Type as Statistical?
for this no need to Specify statistical for condition types because after delivery subsequent billing is proforma.because this value should not post to accounts,that's why we create proforma invoice.So even without specifying statistical accounting document will not be generated.
but as per central department of excise we should pay the duty while goods leaving from factory.So that we should post this excise conditions amount to the accounts.
So create subsequent excise invoice then accounting document will be generated.system will calculate the excise condition amounts based on basic price you maintained in V/08,system does not bother whether basic price condition type is statistical or not.
For your understanding:
Configuration:
order type FD,Item category-KLN,Schedule line-CP
Delivery type LF
Billing type F8 (delivery related proforma)
Sales cycle:
Va01>vl01n>vf01>j1iin
Let me know for further clarifications.
Thank you,

Free of cost in PO

Dear All
How to create free of cost PO.
and how the material could be created.
Which table stored ?
Regards
Suresh

Hi
In PO Creation (ME21N), you will find a Free Items Check Box in the Item Overview (to the right of the Returns Item Check box). If you tick that, the item will be treated as a free item. You will see that the Tick in the Check boxes in the Invoice tab will also be removed. The condition tab will no longer appear and you won't be able to put in prices. However, this material will reflect in your valuated stock when you do GR.
MM01 used to create material master.

I cannot do a GR for UNBW material, Free of Charge, for Intercompany PO.

While trying to do a GR for a UNBW material Free of Charge from an inter-company STO, I am getting the following error msg:
M7226 = " Update control of movement type incorrect (entry 101 _ X _B).
I get the same message by doing the MIGO GR from PO or from MIGO GR from Outbound Delivery.
I checked the table T156S and the required entry is missing:
Movement Type = 101
Update Value = blank
Update Quantity = X
Special Stock = blank
Movement Indicator = B
Receipt Indicator = blank
Consumption = blank
Scenario:
Material Type UNBW is Quantity Control Only (No Cost).
The PO Item has Account Assignment 8 (I/C Free of Charge)
The vendor will not charge any cost (Totally Free of Charges)
The field FREE is checked in the PO item
Note:
If in the GR/MIGO I enter a dummy value of $0.01 the document is posted. Of course the value posted is not correct because we do not have to pay anything to the vendor.
I created a Customer Note to SAP, but they insist that the problem is in configuration.
What could be the possible reason and what is the solution for this error?
Thanks,

Thanks for your reply. I checked that box and it becomes a free of charge item. Now when I do the MIRO that particular line item is missing. And when I do the F2 invoice for the third party order too that line is missing. My requirement is that I should be able to see in the F2 invoice as a free item. This is required for customs purposes.
I have also tried checking the box : " Final Invoice " in the PO for that particular line item. ANd the FREE check box is still there , and the F2 invoice has the free line item but it is showing the std price. I would like to see the price as $0.00.
Appreciate your help and time
Thanks

Free of Cost item with transportation charges

Hi
We have a new scenario in which we are importing some spare parts of the machine which have no value (free of cost). As we are importing the material some charges like custom duty and freight has to paid by us. Now the problem is when we are creating the purchase order and mark the line as free and enters the condition at the purchase order header, the system is not picking the charges at the time of invoicing.
Can anyone has any idea how I could handle this? Is there is any other procedure for handling the scenario?
Immediate response is helpful.

Hi,
While creating Po, check the check box for free goods...
While doing MIRO, enter your all costs in planned delivery costs.
Or
1. Create a PO for free goods with Free goods delivery indicator on.
2. Do goods receipt of free goods.
3. Create MIRO without PO and debit the account of material with delivery cost.
Note- Material tab is visiable in MIRO if you have activated direct posting to material account in SPRO.
SPRO - > Mat Mgmt - > LIV -> Incoming Invoice -> Activate Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts
Hope it helps.

To replace defective goods free of cost if it is brought back

Hi all
can any one suggest me how to go about this scenario
how to replace defective goods free of cost if it is brought back within 6 months of the invoice date.
what is the process
thanks in advance
sri

Hi,
To replace defective goods a return process with a free of charge SO and delivery must be in place.
Process:
1. Create a returns sales order w.r.t the billing document of the defective goods
2. Create a returns delivery and do the PGR
3. Create a Sales Order (new order type or OR can be used) with the replacement qty, please note that the pricing here should be zero.
4. Do the delivery for this order and PGI.
5. Please note that billing is not required as we giving the goods free of charge.
In order to do the above process all the configurations should be in place. The returns SO item category should not be relevant for billing, similarly the subsequent SO item category should not be relevant for billing.
Hope this helps.

Vinu

There is no std way to achieve what u required
You will have to use badi
MB_MIGO_BADI
and in that u will have to use interface
LINE_MODIFY Add / Change a Line (GOITEM)
and
CHECK_ITEM Check Item Data of Goods Movement
you will have to create a table where in u will have to assign gas material code to gas cylinder material code and the conversation factor
conversation factor will be require if u want the system to calculate the number of cylinder on qty of gas
if not u can enter the qty in MIGO only
thus in badi u can write a logic where in if the material is in that Ztable and movement type 101 run the badi to add the line with material code in ztabe for gas cylinder for gas material code. and pass required entry to add the line
hope if u give this logic to abaper he will write a code for u
and ur issue will be solved
Hope this will solve u issue

How to raise PO for a material with transport cost but no material cost?

Hi experts,
My client wants to raise a PO in SAP for a material that will be purchased free of cost.
He only wants to invoice the vendor for delivery/transport costs.
Now, as I see it, a free-of-cost PO is not possible because it does not allow adding any pricing conditions. May be I am not aware of some tweak that is available.
Please provide your help on this. Thank you.

Hello,
Firstly Prepare a Po with a line item that you want, then chick the Free check box.
then go to the Item tab (below), go to conditions & add freight (Freight % or Freight (Value) ) with the required amount.
you can change the Assignment from the Vendor to a Transporter / Freight forwarder, that you want.
That is it. you will have a Po with no Commercial Value but just Transport Cost.
Thanks & Regards,
Atul Sabnis

Free of cost supply for Rejected item

Dear All,
Please help me in the following scenario :
a. A line item ( Imported item )rejected by quality .
b. For that rejected item foreign supplier send us the same material in free of cost . No need to pay for that item.
c. I paid the freight and customs duty for both rejected item as well as for free of cost item .
My questions :
1. How to make GR for free of cost in the same P.O ???
2. How to account the customs duty and freight that has been paid twice for the same item ???
3. Can i avail cenvat facility for both item .???
Please clear ....
Cheers,
Somu

Hi
If the PO is not taken into GR then add the item once again in the PO and chec the FREE GOODS checkbox. By this check the GR taken will not affect the cost of this item.\
For the double payment made already , you can create a credit note for the vendor in MIRO [Subsequent credit], by choosing the amount and entering the articles.
On confirmation of MIRO the value will be reduced from these articles in proportion which was actually increased due to double payment.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Govind.
