Multiple free goods for one main material

[Former Member]

Hello SAP Gurus,

we have a business requirement that to issue multiple free products for one main product, if the upliftment is beyond the specified quantity.

Using free goods functionality, is it possible to achive the above requirement.

e.g Quantity

main product 123456 10

free goods xxxxx 2

free goods yyyyy 1

is it possible to maintain such data thru free goods or any development needs to be done.

regards

Casimer Quadros,

Free Goods supports only on a 1:1 ratio. which means for material 1, material 2 is given as free goods. Similarly if you purchase M1 and M2 then you will be provided with M1 and M2 and M3 is given as free products.

There are series of Do's and Don'ts in Free Goods

1. Free goods are not supported in combinations with material structures (for example, product selection, BOM).

2. Free goods are only supported for sales orders with document category "C"

3. Free goods are not supported for deliveries without reference to a sales order.

4. Free goods cannot be used in make-to-order production and third-party order processing.

5. Free goods cannot be used in scheduling agreements.

For your requirement i can suggest "Rebate of a Kind" Process. Wherein you can issue free goods manually. By assigning line item no. of main item in "Higherlevel Item cattegory coluimn of SUB - Item

Constraints in free goods in R3 taken from SAP library

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 answers your qn Not possible in R3

If you are on Retail scenario this is possible thro bonus buy schemes

But a lot of customizations needs to be done and you need a retail server to do that
