SD Inclusive Free Goods without Item Generation in SAP SD

Use

The free goods function was made available in two forms (inclusive and exclusive) at 4.0A.

When you are using the inclusive free goods function, the system creates two items after you enter the order quantity and release the data:

• The first item with the order quantity less the free goods quantity
• The second item as a free goods item with the free goods quantity

This solution has the following drawbacks:

• Customer requirements are not obvious.
• The function is not possible for structured materials.
• The availability check runs independently.
• The schedule lines are not correlated.
• You cannot view full delivery of the required quantity.
• Picking contains two independent items
• The items are viewed independently in Warehouse Management.
• Scale prices for the order quantity are only possible via group conditions.
• The document volume is increased.

The advantages of this solution are:

• The free goods quantity can be viewed at order entry.
• The free goods quantities can be used for statistical purposes.

Alternatively, as of 4.5A, you can create inclusive free goods without item generation.

Prerequisites

In the free goods master record in the Inclusive/Exclusive field, select free goods type 3 (inclusive free goods without item generation).

Features

In free goods master data maintenance, this new free goods type is dealt with in the same way as the inclusive free goods procedure described above.

In order processing, you can not create order subitems.

For pricing in the main item, you need to create a discount. The standard system provides pricing procedrue RVAA01 and condition type NRAB.

Condition type NRAV is set up as follows:

• It does not determine a discount from a condition record. It uses condition basis formula 029 in the pricing procedure to determine a discount from the free goods factor.
• The condition receives the new pricing requirement 059 in the pricing procedure. This requirement checks whether free goods have already been determined.
• The condition type receives condition category f. This condition category ensures that the condition is redetermined every time the quantity is changed, since this can also mean a change to the free goods quantity.

Example: Free goods assignment without item generation in an order item:

Condition type		Condition value:
PR00	10 pieces at 10 USD	100 USD
RA00	- 10 %	10 USD
Net 1	9 USD	90 USD
Free goods ß	3 pieces at 9 USD	27 USD
Net 2	6.30 for one piece	63 USD

• The free goods quantity is shown in printouts (e.g. for order confirmations or invoices).
• The free goods quantity can not be used in the Profitability Analysis or for statistical purposes.
• The free goods are generally treated proportionally during partial billing. There are no variants defined in the standard system, although you can create them by defining your own condition basis formulae (full discount in the first/last billing document, for example).
• The billing document does not create separate items. If you require this, you must use the procedure for inclusive free goods with item generation (see above).
