It all depends on how your clients' Finance team would like to account such inventories.

One way is you can follow Jignesh's suggestion which is from SD side.  The other way is to track from FI side which means, you will have separate pricing procedure, separate document type and of course, a new Account Key which needs to be assigned to your pricing type.  For this new Account Key, a G/L account towards sales promotion needs to be assigned in VKOA.  With the above settings, you can not only track from SD side but also from FI side as to how much samples your client had despatched.

Hi Chetan,

First tell me whatever the sample you are sending to customer after his approval are you going to charge for this sample also?

Dear,

You are saying ,we will charge for sample also .Actually,if the customer accepted your sample then only yo can charge money from him.

charging the money from customer is nothing but acceptance .

If you want to show some thing like with field of this then go by use unused filed for this in sales orderlevel .

Thanks

Hello Chetan,

Say if total order quantity is 100 tons, enter two line items of the same meterial with different quantities.

LIne Item 1 - 5 Tons

Line Item 2 - 95 Tons.

Now whenever you create Sales Order, insert automatic Delivery Block at Sales Order level (T-Code VOV8).

Now an authorized person will first release Delivery block for Line Item 1, which for you are samples & create Delivery & INvoice. Upon receipt of Customer's approval, the authorized person will remove Delivery block for 2nd Line Item so that users can create Delivery & Invoice. 

Thanks,
