Alternative Free Good determination in Sales order

[Former Member]

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

Hi Chandra Mouli,

you have to configure MATERIAL DETERMINATION functionality. Mr Prakash also suggested the same. but as per my knowledge, it would not possible to swap the material automatically according to stock availability of material.

Thanks

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
