SC for 0 Value- Free Buy

[former_member601789]

We have a scenario in which the client raise a SC to “procure” free goods through SRM.  The item is codified (which has material master created in ECC) and the material to be taken in to inventory and.

Subsequent to this,  the material will get consumed through 261 movement in ECC.

We have SAP SRM 7.00 SP17 with Classic Scenario.

Steps to be followed :

1. 1. Shopping cart to be created using a product from catalogue with 0 value.
2. 2. No approval required in SRM.
3. 3. ECC Purchase Order – Free item to be ticked in ECC.
4. 4. Goods Receipts to be performed in ECC.
5. 5. IV Flag not to be set.

Does anyone handled this kind of “Free Buy” scenario, can provide  the detailed solution for this?

Hi,

1.Shopping cart to be created using a product from catalogue with 0 value.

-> Standard SRM solution allows you to procure items with zero price and I believe it would be routed to the purchaser for price assignment.

As it is not required in your case, modify the approval steps so that it gets approved automatically.

2. No approval required in SRM.

-> As you would have to modify your approval steps, make it a single step approval and that is "Auto approval".

3. ECC Purchase Order – Free item to be ticked in ECC.

-> Check BADI "BBP_PO_INBOUND_BADI" in ECC would be suitable to handle this requirement, that is to flag "X" in free item when Price in SC is "zero".

For points# 4 & 5

-> Use the BADI "BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to populate GR_IND as 'X' and "IV_FLAG" as "Blank" and make sure the same is passed to ECC system and it is not working out use the BADI "BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI"

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks,
