Free goods item need to credited in different GL account

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Need your valuable inputs on the GL allignment of free goods.

During the Free goods process, the client does not want the value of the material ( free- second line item) to be credited from sales account and they want this to be alligned to different GL during billing.

As per understanding, the main item and Free good item both having same pricing procedure and alligned basis account determination with respect to the ERL ( Std) key. We cant seperate the key here so both getting credited from same GL and debited to respective customer & FOC account.

Regards

Vins,

I think you have to go for some enhancement, this is not possible in standard SAP.

Probably add a field item category PSTYV in account determination field catalog and then use it in account determination.

This material can be used for both free goods and for regular sale. So you need a differentiator - to tell the system when is this material free and when not. And then use this differentiator in account determination.

The client want to show the price of free good item with no effect on GL.

You can set the condition type to "Accrual" and assign a different G/L Account in VKOA

Thank you for the inputs, Setting accural will make it as statistical conditon.

But can you please ellaborate how the standard condition type with record for the two items (same main and free good item) can be differentiated.

Maintain condition record with reference to free material number.

Hi Ravi, the material is same and determined with free goods determination.

Hi ,

Is your Free good having Price ?

Normally free goods should not hold any cost as you will be giving R100 condition type which will write off the price

Could you please explain if there is a base price for free good, if so what is the requirement to have price?

thanks

Hi,

The client want to show the price of free good item with no effect on GL.

R100 condition type will give 100% discount and net effect on the order will be zero for free goods.

Thanks

Hi Vins,

you can insert one more Price condition with Statistical indicator and without assigning any Accounting key

In this process you may have to create new Pricing condition type and Accounting key

thanks
