Sales BOM & Free Goods Material

Hi There are 2 materials X & Y
For few distributors it goes as Sales BOM
1) if you enter 5 qty of X , it picks 2 Qty of Y also in Sales Order
i have Created Sales Order BOM for same.
item category group of X is ERLA
item category group of Y is NORM
For few distributors it goes as Free Of Charge materials
2) if you enter 5 qty of X , it picks 2 Qty of Y also in Sales Order
both are Free
Now in both cases material code X is same & i cannot change item category group of X as ERLA
How to achieve this?

BOM+Free Goods+Material Determination

Hi,
My company want to give free goods in Bill of materials.But system is not accepting that.How can we do that?
I am getting the same problem with Material Determination and Free Goods combination.When i configure material determination for a material which is having free goods system is not showing...any idea?
Points for sure.

Hi,
The constraints for free goods in SAP are as follow
Constraints
Free goods is currently only supported on a 1:1 basis. This means that an order item can only be
the source of one free goods item. This means that agreements involving relationships such as
'Buy material 1 and get material 2 and material 3 free of charge' or 'Order material 1 and material
2 together and get material 3 free of charge' are not supported.
Free goods is not currently supported in combination with material structures (e.g. product
selection, bills of material, variants with BOM explosion).
Free goods is currently only supported for sales orders with document category C (not for
quotations, for example).
Free goods is not currently supported for deliveries without reference to a sales order.
Free goods is not currently supported for make-to-order production, third-party order processing
and scheduling agreements.
Hope it helps you.

Cost Center association with the free goods Material

If you are issuing free goods (Material) to your customers or reps could you have the transactions recorded to cost centers. If so how?

Free Goods Material Cost

Hi SD Gurus
I hade a interview question?
What will happen to the cost of the material that given as free good
Thanks & Regards
Hari

Hi
Cost of material will never change for free good for a company which gives it free. Free goods means revenue are zero but the Cost of goods sold will always be same as if it would have sold at some sales price.
Reward pts if helps

P.O and GR for Free goods material

Hi,
I want to know how to create PO and GR for some material which we are receiving from vendor as free sample but that qty. we want to add in stock to issue that material with B.OM.
So how to set indicator in PO for free goods but we are paying the freight amount for that material.
regards,
zafar

Hi
Materials recived as free sample.
Example : Material :ABCD123456 you are reciveing 2 qty as free along with the 10 Qty of the material
You need to create two line item for material ABCD123456 - first with 10 qty and second with 2 qty ( free )
for the second line item tick Free Item once you tick this indicator in item overview.
Other way is PO Item detail go to Invoice tab *untick the Invoice reciepti.e no invoice* for the second line item . then system will not ask for invoice .that means that you need not to pay to supplier for this much amount .

Rework on sales return finished goods material

Hi all,
There is sales return finished good in stock.
This FG is rejected by quality assurance due to some quality reasons.
Now, rework to be done on this FG to make it as per quality standards,
After rework the material code of FG will remain same and sales will dispatch this FG in the same code.
How to show this rework process and what r the steps.

Hi,
This is handled via Rework Order type, I Feel PP would be the better forum to Get better details regarding your issue, its a normal process in production to do rework on materials once they are identified as not meeting the required specification.

Explode SD Free good determination + BOM in sales order

Hi!
I create for material sales bom + free good material (Tcode VBN1 and I tried to explode both of them in sales order, It didn't happend.
when i did order for this item, just the bom exploded, without the free good.
i need to explode both of them
Please help
best regard
shay

hi,
BOM is not supported by free goods funtionality in standard SAP.
please just go through the constraints of free goods funcitonality.
Constraints
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.
Free goods are not supported in combinations with material structures (for example, product selection, BOM, variants with BOM explosion).
Free goods are only supported for sales orders with document category C (for example, not quotations).
Free goods are not supported for deliveries without reference to a sales order.
Free goods cannot be used in make-to-order production, third-party order processing and scheduling agreements.
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 with material type = ROH

Hello,
i would like to give free-goods for a particular finished goods sales.
the free-goods' material type is equal to ROH.
when i maintain the free goods from VBN1, system tells me that "xxx Material is not defined for sales org xxxx with dist. channel xxx".
the pb is for material type ROH, i can't select sales view,
is there any work around except
1. changing material type
2. customizing and add view for ROH
Thanks

hi,
You have to extend the ROH material to the sales area of fineshed products
Goto to mm01 & extended teh material
then try with VBN1

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.

Giving BOM material as free good in Sales Order

Hi,
I have a business requirement.
I want to give a free good in Sales Oreder which is a BOM material.This should be possible by manually changing Item category for the line item in the Sales Order just like how we can change TAN to TANN in normal circumsatnces when we add free good material for any NON BOM material.
In standard functionality,the item category determined for this BOM material is TAQ but this item category field in Sales Order is non editable because of which I can not include the BOM material as free good in my sales order.
I have already defined one z Item category for free goods for this BOM material & want to use it in Sales Order.
Can you please suggest how this can be handled ?
Or is there any other work around by which will allow me to include BOM material as free good in my Sales Order ?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
BM

Hi,
Thanks everyone for the feedback.I agree with Samir Danish.It is a standard functionality of SAP which does not allow free goods for BOM material.
However, can someone suggest work around to deal with this issue.I mean if any one has been doing any work around for this issue then please let me know.It s becoming critical for me.

Sales BOM And Free Goods

hi,
I have the following problem, for one of our materials (Norm), we have a sales bom for a material (Nlag). however with the same material, we have free goods of the same main material inclusive. what happens now is that i can only explode either the sales bom or the free goods, but i require both to eplode together.

Dear Reshigan Govender,
This cannot be taken as a part of the standard functionality. For this development is required.
Do let me know in case of any queries.
Hope this helps you.
Do award points if you found them useful.

Adding same Free Goods items in the sales order

Hello experts,
We are using (exclusive) free goods functionality. In condition records you can specify the free goods that should be added to certain materials when they are ordered by the customer. The problem is this: when different materials should lead to the same free goods item, the system is creating an item line for free goods for every single material for which a free goods condition record is created. The business would like to see that free goods item lines that contain the same free goods material is consolidated into 1 item line. The reason for this is that the external service provider is charging per item line that is dispatched to them. As far as I know standard SAP does not support this functionality. Do any of you have encountered the same problem? I'm very curious if there is any solution for this issue.
Regards, Charles

Hi,
Not sure but still putting my openion,
Let system determine more FREE items in sales order but when creating order it should consolidate in one single line item with quantity.
For this write data transfer routine in VOFM
Write logic if in sales order have more items with same item category say TANN then consolidate it in one single line item with all qty.
And then assign same routine in copy control order to delivery.

Alternative Free Good determination in Sales order

Dear Gurus,
We activated Free Goods determination. We are maintaining condition records in Tcode VBN1. We are creating the condition records using the fields Sales org, Distribution Channel and Sales Office. Condition record specifies the free good material and its quantity for main material with specified quantity. As of now, It is working fine and it is picking up the free good material correctly at Sales order if we create line item for main material.
As per the new requirement, if the free good material is not available in the stock, it should pick up other alternative free good material for the main material. Mean to say, we want to configure free good determination where we will specify two free good materials for one main material, then system will pick up one of the free good materials for main material in Sales order.
Ex: Main material : A
1st Free good material : F1
2nd Free good material : F2
If the stock for F1 free good material is not available then system should pick up F2 free good material automatically.
I have tried to map the another Free good material for main material in the same condition record, but system is not accepting to proceed further.
Kindly suggest what I need to do, what configuration is required. Please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks
Chandra Mouli

FYI - Neel & Chandra Mouli
Substitution strategy in Material Substitution: Reason (TCode OVRQ ) controls whether product selection should occur automatically in the background or whether the alternative materials should be offered for selection in a dialog box. So, this product selection in the background is performed on the basis of the availability check.
The substitution reasons are entered in the master records for material determination.
Kindly test & share your feedback.
Thanks & Regards
