Hi

Constraints in free goods in R3

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: u2018With material 1, material 2 and material 3 are free of chargeu2018 or u2018If material 1 and material 2 are ordered at the same time, then material 3 is free of chargeu2018.

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.

This is taken from SAP library

*But your scenario can certainly be met with IS REtail Bonus buy Schemes*

Hi sameer

Just give the optional material M4 when you are quantity is exceeding 6pcs for all these 3 materials. in VBN1

But combination of all these three and is coming to 6 then you should get M4 material as free , i think it is not possible as per the standard SAP. we need to go for routines or enhancements to fulfill the requirement

Your scenario can be met in IS-RETAIL but there also plenty of customizations which are to be made .
