Free goods and order types

[Former Member]

Hello,

1) If company is providing free goods, then will it be associated for order type or with pricing condition.

for e.g. On purchase of 100 qty. if 10% foods are free, then how is this associated.

2) Also if i want to provide free goods only for a particular customer group, lets say wholesale, then how will it be associated

with pricing conditions and order type.

Hi,

There are two cases:-

1.Ur company is providing free goods as a sample.

2.If some customer buys some quantity of product u provide some free goods with it.

1st Case:-

if u want goods to b send as a free sample then u can directly use TANN item category with doc type or .

2nd Case :

Free goods is something that the customer is given after he buys certain quantity of the product/material.

Free goods is a strategy to increase sales volume by luring the customer that if he buys 10 products one will be absolutely free.

Free Goods:Goods that are given as additional goods as part of the ordered goods are called as free goods.Here the unit of measure of free goods should be the same as standard goods.

Example:If you are are ordering 10 maggi sauce bottle you will be paying for only 8 bottles 2 is given as freegoods.

price will not be reflected in pricing or billing.this is inclusive freegoods

Exclusive freegoods.

wherein the freegoods are given as additional good to that of the ordered goods

Example:For 4 coffee vending machine 1 kg coffee powder isgive as free goods

Sample goods:these are the goods which are given as pert of the promotional activity to increase the sales.

here the customer is not paying money.

Free goods - In SAP there are two types Exclusive and Inclusive.

Exclusive - Buy 2 and get 1 free. This means you have to buy minimum 2 pieces then on that you will get 1 piece absolutely free.

Inclusive - Buy 2 get 1 free. In this case it means you are paying for only 1 item and the other item is absolutely free.

Configuration:

IMG - Sales & Distribution - Basic Functions - Free Goods - condition technique for free goods -

1. create the condition table(Take one field as customer group also if u want to provide free goods only for a particular customer group).

2. maintain access sequence and assign the condition table to the access sequence.

3. maintain condition type and assign the access sequence to the condition type.

4. maintain the procedure for free goods and assign the condition type to the free goods procedure.

5. Activate free goods determination. In this enter sales org., dis channel, division , docu pri pro, cust pri pro and the free goods procedure.

6. now go to VBN1 - create free goods determination. Select your condition type, key combination and enter. Here you enter sales org, dis channel, customer no., Valid from and Valid to dates. Then you first select whether it is exclusive or inclusive free goods determination. By default it will be inclusive if you click on exclusive it will become exclusive and on top it will display inclusive. Here you enter minimum quantity for free goods and from what order quantity the number of free goods. You can control the delivery also in the second last column(free goods delivery control).

Save the record. Go to VA01 create the sales order , enter the item and the minimum quantity for free goods .

Thanks & Regards,
