VA41 free pricing configuration?

Dear friends and experts:
Please tell me if this is possible-
I have contracts (no delivery!) set to bill $x every month for a service offered. I would like to make it so that it will offer a "free" 2 months at the beginning, then start charging the normal item price.
Is this possible via configuration? If so, what must I do? New sales contract type? Do I need new pricing procedure, and how to configure 2 free months if yes?
Best Regards,
JJ

Hi JJ,
Service industry works a bit different than other industries and the rules that can be easily applied to regular product sales, sometimes get tricky when you try to apply them to service contracts.
From your explanations, it looks like that you are using periodic contracts with billing plans using monthly billing to customer. One other simply manageable way to handle your requirement would be to keep the contract validity as such and start the billing plan 2 months from contract start date.
For example, contract validity is Jan to Dec but billing plan starts from March to December.
You can use transaction VOVP to define these billing dates determination rules and then they can be deployed for automatic determination in contracts. This way you will not have the problem of 100% discount condition appearing unnecessarily in the follow-on documents.
Let me know if you need more information on the above approach.
Thanks

Service industry pricing configurations

Hi Experts,
Could you brief me the pricing configuration for the Service industry (Logistic or Couriers)

Hi Namita,
Thats why i mentioned CRM2007
If on CRM7.0, we dont have reason maintenance but have all new Multiple Categorization concept introduced.
As PePe says, Service Request and Service Ticket are all different transactions as they have different Buss. Objects. Service Request is new thing from CRM7.0 .Earlier we had only service tickets where you can maintain the reasoning.
Depending your Project Realization mapping as decided by Solution Architech, either service req. or service tickets should be used. Now since you are using Service requests, we have to fullfill your needs there only.
If you want, you can still get the Reason dropdown in WEB UI thought development. Add BTSUBJECT in the view and do the coding to read your subject profile , subject codes and show the texts. This will be pure development but i dont see much effort as you are still doing it in BT model. I would recommand to go with categorizations only as its SAP std. suggested for Service Requests scenario. Maintaining Categorization and schema is failrly simple however i feel SAP has un-necessarily complecated it. Follow the help.sap.com categorization under CRm service. They have nice explanations. We generally maintain categorization from WEB UI only and not through SPRO.
Let me know if you stuck up on coding part as i have already done it, i may help you.
Thanks & Regards,
Suchita

Usage "FREE" in Free Goods Configuration

Hi,
Please give me the name of the Program or Function Module where the Hard Code is being used for detering the itemcategory of Free goods as "FREE".
We want to copy this "FREE" and use it but it is not working as it is hard coded. I know the Usage is being used in CMIR but that is not working. Unless we use the word "FREE" in free goods configuration it is not working.
Please provide us the name of the program or Function Module wherein this Hard Code is has been used in SAP.
Thanks,
Jans

To me it does not look like it is hard coded in the program used for creating sales order. Instead why don't you use the user exit USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_KOMK and USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_KOMP in include MV45AFZ4.

Internate Pricing Configurator

Hi All,
Does somebody have Internate Pricing Configurator (IPC) document? I am in an immediate need.
Please send link.
Regards,
Nikhil

Hi,
You need not do any configuration for IPC in CRM 5.0 or CRM 6.0. If your basis team had activated the IPC engine in your landscape. You should be able to see the pricing related details in your conditions tab of any transaction. So this would be your check point whether IPC is working or not..
The note which i have suggest is for advance technical users to modify the pricing routines and enhance the IPC functionalities.

hi,
may be this will help you some what...
have following scenarios to map using SAP transportation module. I need suggestion/idea from you all as to how we can map it perfectly in SAP.
Requirements:
1. Scenario is of goods movement from One plant to another plant within same company code.
2. Receiving plant will create a stock transport order and maintain a freight cost. This freight cost is maintained in STO using a condition type. This is the contractual cost and calculation is based on dispatchedweight.
3. Dispatch plant will create a Replenishement delivery(VL10B) for above created STO. Dispatched weight will be captured in this delivery.
4.At the time of Post goods issue for above delivery following account posting should happen:
Inventory FG Cr. (At despatch Plant ) 48000 (cost of material)
Inventory FG Dr. (At Receiving Plant) 49000 (Cost of material + freight cost)
Freight STO FG Cr. (At Receiving Plant) 1000 (freight cost)
5. Receiving plant will do goods receipt (Received weight is captured).
6. Invoice verification: During this phase accounts department will verify the GR documents and does following determination:
6.1. Whether received weight is different from disptached weight.
6.2. Whether shipment is ontime, early or delayed.
6.3. Whether any transshipment happened or not (based on truck number).
7. After above determination is made an incoming invoice is created using following calculation:
7.1. Base freight = Received weight * contractual freight cost.
7.2. Penalty or incentive is levied based on whether shipment is delayed or early.
7.3. A penalty is levied if transshipment has happened (Transshipment are not allowed as per the contract).
8. payment is made and accounts are cleared.
What I have done so far:
1. Created an outbound shipment type.
2. Created a shipment cost document and shipment item category copying standard item category but with different rule for settlement date.Also, the account assignment category:K, General Modification: VBR, Auto PO generation.
3. Created one new freight condition type with Calculation type: Gross weight, calculation base: delivery. Assigned this condition type to a standard access sequence and created a new pricing procedure.
4. Created two more conditions for Penalty and incentive. Calculation base: All.
Proposed Solution:
1. Create STO. Insert a freight condition with contractual freight cost.2. Create Replenishment delivery.
3. Create an Outbound shipment and assign above delivery to it.
4. Shipment is put in 'Shipment start' when actual goods movement happens. As soon as shipment is saved after 'shipment start' auto goods issue will happen and following accounts will be posted.
Inventory FG Cr. (At despatch Plant ) 48000 (cost of material)
Inventory FG Dr. (At Receiving Plant) 49000 (Cost of material + freight cost)
Freight STO FG Cr. (At Receiving Plant) 1000 (freight cost)
5. Receiving plant will do Goods receipt (MIGO).
6. An custom job will be run after creation of GR document through MIGO which will update received weight in shipment document in a custom field.
7. Shipment status is moved to 'shipment end' and save. At this point a new code is built in userexit which will calculate the difference in 'shipment end' and 'shipment start' and compare this with planned duration of route (maintained in route). A determination of late or early shipment will be done by code and it will update 'special processing indicator' with specific values maintained earlier. Ex: 1 - shipment late by one day, 2- shipment late for two days. The penalty and incentive condition type records will be maintained against this indicator so thatcorrect condition record is called during shipment cost document creation.
8. A new pricing routine is built and assign to the new freight condition. It will look at the received weight maintained in a custom field at shipment level instead considering delivery weight.
9. Shipment cost document is created with reference to above created shipment and transfer of cost is

Pricing configuration records

I am looking for a way to copy pricing records from one SAP instance to another. We are able to this with Materials using ALE, but ALE does not appear to be able to handle the pricing configuration. Is there a similar utility or method for copying the pricing information from one SAP instance to another. We want to use this to update Dev and/or QA systems with the current pricing configurations from production.
Thanks

Please check that there is an entry in table MNTNCT in ERP which defines that CRM is responsible for creating/editing the condition records. You can display the conditions only (vk13).
This is the standard behaviour of CRM-ERP integration projects where source of the condition record is CRM.

Subbz..

Hi Subbarao,
This pricing procedure will be related to the shipment cost calculation.
This pricing procedure used to calculate the shipment cost(Freight cost) in the shipment cost document.
Sceneraio:- When the company want supply the goods from India to the customer who is located in Japan.
To supply the goods from India to Japan he may use different mode of transportation like
From plant to Air port(near to plant)-->By road
From India air port to Japan air port near to customer-->By flight
From Japan air port to customer place -->By road.
To do all these activitiesthey may have farwarding agent
To do all these activities company need to pay some commision to the farwarding agent.
So to calculate that farwarding agent commision in the shipment cost document and to calculate all the cost incured to transpoert the goods from India to Japan all will be calculated basd on this pricing procedure.
About Second quiery
Condition records will be maintained in TK11 transaction for the shipment cost condition types.
I hope it will clear for you,
Regards,
Murali.

Free Goods Determination in Sales Order
Free goods has the following limitations:
- 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.
4.6x
Not all Sales Order can be used for free goods determination. You have to check the SD document category if it does not work. Only category 'C' are supported. Check transaction VOV8.
Assume that you want to configure an inclusive FREE goods routine. Customers must order a minumum quantity of 5 before any free goods can be assign. For every quantity of 3, the customer will be given 1 free goods.

In this example, if you create a Sales Order for a quantity of 10, SAP will prompt you 7 as the customer order qty and 3 will be free. Customer only pay for the 7 quantity.
Free goods
Free goods play a large role in price negotiations with your customers. As a result, free goods are determined to be placed in sales document automatically. In retail, chemical industry or consumer goods industry, it is common to provide discounts in the form of free goods.
Inclusive Bonus Quantities Free goods can be part of order quantity not included in the invoice (billing). This is called inclusive bonus quantity. The ordered goods and the free goods both involve the same material. The quantity units of the free goods and the ordered goods must be the same.
Exclusive Bonus Quantities Free goods that take the form of extra goods that are free of charge are called exclusive bonus quantities. In this case, the extra bonus quantities are not typically included in the invoice (billing). This can either be an additional quantity of the goods ordered or it can be another article. The exclusive free of goods appear in the SD document as an individual free of charge item.
Both types of free goods are treated in the same way in the sales order. The material that has been ordered is entered as a main item (TAN) and the free item (TANN) is automatically displayed as a sub item. The item category determines how the item is controlled later in the business process.
The system re-reads the free goods master record in the sales order if the quantities in the main item change or if the pricing date changes. The system then deletes the sub items and re-creates them. Any manual changes to the free goods quantity are lost.
Note: If pricing is re-run in the sales order, it does not affect the free goods determination.
The condition technique is used for free goods. Free goods are generally regarded as a supplement to the pricing agreement for a material. You can define master records for free goods at any level such as material, customer/material, price list category/currency/material or customer hierarchy/material. The transaction code is VBN1 and condition type NA00 which automatically gets converted into R100 during sales document processing.
You can restrict a free goods condition master record for one level in many ways
a. Validity period: the condition is only valid within this period
b. Lowest quantity: the condition comes into affect when this quantity has been exceeded.
c. Delivery control:
d. Calculation type:
e. Scales
You can process different master data with the same key for inclusive and exclusive bonus quantities at the same time. You only need to press a button to switch between two types of discount. When you enter an exclusive bonus quantity, an extra entry line appears where you can enter the free material if it is not the same as the ordered material.
When you specify a calculation rule, you decide how the system determines the free goods quantity in the sales order from the additional and document quantities.
a. The free goods quantity is the quantity that is calculated from the discount quantity (not the minimum quantity)
b. Additional quantity is the quantity delivered free of charge
c. Document quantity is the quantity entered by the person creating the sales order.
Three calculation rules are provided by the system i.e.
Prorated the system calculates the free goods in right proportion to document the quantity. For example if 20 units are offered for free for 100 units in the condition record and the customer orders 162 units, then the system calculates 162 * 20/100 (rounded off) as free goods.
Related to units 20 units are given for free for every 100 units ordered. In the above case the customer would only get 20 units free as he placed an order for 162 units.
Whole units the customer would not get any free goods if he doesnt match the exact quantity proposed. That is, in the above case, the customer doesnt get any free goods as the ordered quantity did not match 100 units. Anything below or over the mark will not be qualified for a free good.
Calculation rules are stored in the system in the form of ABAP/4 code. You can also define your own rules by using transaction code VOFM (system modifications).
The free goods determination procedure contains a list of condition types for the free goods. One access sequence is assigned to each condition type and each access sequence contains one ore more accesses and each access contains exactly one table. This represents the search key that the system uses to search for valid condition records.
The free goods determination procedure is assigned to sales area + document pricing procedure + customer pricing procedure just as in the case of pricing procedure assignment as free goods are generally regarded as a supplement to the pricing agreement for a material.
If the search is successful, the system generates a sub item for free goods in the document. The item category is assigned with the item category usage FREE.
You can activate an analysis of the free goods determination in the sales document. The system then displays detailed information on how the free goods were determined.

Free Goods configuration

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am struck, please help me out......
I have a scenario where we are having scheme of 11+1 means if a customers buys a product whose quantity is 11 then 1 item will be given free to him, but the tax will be charged on base value of product for full 12 product and the the base price for the free good will not be calculated.

In the pricing procedure, against tax condition type row leave it blank for alternative formula for base value column and give the counter number of gross value in from column. I have tried it & it's works for me.

Hi All,
We are currently implementing Job Pricing functionality and we had a problem in mapping the survey job range with internal job. What we wanted to have is comparison with Min, Mid and Max salary of a survey job with internal job.

Did anyone had same problem and if anyone knows what need to be done to have the mapping at Min, Mid and Max salary do let us know.
Do anyone have any configuration document please do share it.
