free goods and bom

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

Q1 :

In free goods determination I want to give a scheme like buy material A-12 units material B-12 units you get Material C 1 unit free.

This is a frequentyly used scheme in FMCG industries .how do i do it and what are the settings required to execute this.

Q2 :

The same scheme mentioned above in other scenario is instead of giving the material free i want to give a value for that free say 100 rs if a customer buys 12 pcs of mat A and B

Q3:

In BOM can i make both main item and sub-item to be priced , if yes how ? what are the settings reqd?

thanks in advance

Hi,

Issue free goods to selected Customers

1.Run trans. VBN2 to first create master record for free goods as follows:

2. Enter following information in selection screen:

- Free goods type: NA00

- Sales org, distribution channel, customer # and execute.

3. Now in next screen create the record as follows:

- First select the exclusive button and verify that you are in exclusive view.

(that is if you want exclusive)

- Material#, Min qty - Say 34 cartons. (check in what units you want to manage)

From: 34 cartons

unit of measure:

Free goods: 12 Pcs

Unit of measure: Pcs

Calcualtion type: 1 or try the other options

Deliver control: Blank or any of the other options suitable to you.

4. Now save and exit.

5. Now run VA01 for 34 cartons and press enter. The system will automatically propose the free goods

item at no additional charge. Try higher order qtys and see if the free goods qty are scaling up.

If not adjust the calculation parameters in the master record screen

It should be transaction VBN1. Sorry for the error.

VBN2 is to change the record. VBN1 creates it.

If you want to give free goods to some of the customers than

1. create a customer group say 99 for FREE GOODS

In Free Goods Menu:

2. add a feild catalog for CUSTOMER GROUP

3. create a condition table (free goods) say 555 only for customer group

4. create a sequence say FREE with condition table 555

5. create a condition type say FREE with

6. maintain pricing procedure say ZFREE with condition type FREE

Now assign:

7. Active Free goods Determination or Assign with your sales organisation this procedure ZFREE

8. Create free goods determination with transaction code /nvbn1 for FREE with Key Csuomer Group

99 for exclusive

Give customer Group say 99 and from 34 to 34 free 12

Hi,

standard sap free goods fucntionality does not support BOM.

These kind of offers / disc / promos are well handled in IS- Retail.

But we can tweak the item categories at VOV7 by making the necessary settings and maintaing the item cat determinations at VOV4 as per our customized requirements. Though we can manage to give C as free for A and B with all these settings it cant be a good solution since we cant be changing the item cat settings regularly. It involves config changes which not in the hands of enduser to maintain schemes from time to time.
