Discount in Kind

Many times business transaction needs and oblige to give certain type of discount or offers in order to drive the business in the same zeal. In sales point of view, we can say it as a grant and in purchase perspective it can be termed as a demand. Nevertheless, this will drive the business and yield a win-win situation on either side.

This function allows the purchaser to get a product free of charge in the form of free goods when a certain quantity of product is ordered.

Otherwise, free goods are a kind of quantity discount, and are granted in the form of a goods delivery that is free of charge when a certain quantity is purchased.

In the following section explains the settings (both in Master data and the configuration level) that are necessary for the use of the free goods functionality in SAP.

Discount in kind can be in the form of free or bonus goods.

Types of Free Goods

The following types of free goods are available in SAP in terms of business,

- Inclusive bonus quantity

- Exclusive bonus quantity

Inclusive Bonus Quantity

The buyer needs to pay only for a part of the goods required. The rest of the goods are for free. This is called inclusive free goods which mean that part of the purchased quantity is designated as free and not billed providing the unit of measure should be same for the free goods and the billed goods.

When ten chairs are ordered, out of which one is designated as free goods. If we order ten chairs then one chair is delivered to us as ordered but we will be billed only for the nine chairs and one chair is given as free. With this, we have received inclusive free goods.

Exclusive Bonus Quantity

The buyer needs to pay for the goods ordered and receives some additional goods as free goods. This is known as exclusive free goods and means that free goods is granted for an additional quantity to that in the purchase order. More is delivered than was ordered and the additional quantity will not be billed. The goods delivered as free do not have to be the same as the material ordered.

When five tables are ordered, the vendor supplies one chair as free goods. Therefore, if we order five tables, we receive a chair as free goods.

Please note, with this exclusive bonus quantity functionality, we can get free goods different than the billable material.

In the case of exclusive bonus quantity enter the value “2” in the free goods category field and the free goods material number in the “Additional material for free goods” field as per below.

You can use calculation types to define that certain free goods are granted when a particular quantity of products is ordered. If, however, a buyer orders a lesser or greater quantity than the defined quantity, you can determine which free goods should be granted by selecting from the types provided by default.

The following types, which you can define in the master data, are provided by default:

Key 1: Proportionate, that is, percentage calculation of free goods

Key 2: Unit-related

Key 3: Only for whole units

Create Free Goods Tables

In this step, you create free goods tables. Before you create a new free goods table, you should check whether the existing fields of the field catalog are sufficient for your requirements. If you want to use a field in discount determination that is not provided with this usage in the standard system, you must add it to the field catalog. You can only add fields which are contained in the tables KOMG, KOMK or KOMP.

Enter the name of the table that you want to create. Note that you can only choose a name between 501 and 999. If you do not make an entry here, the system automatically assigns a sequential number. Specify whether you want to create the table with or without a validity period. Choose the fields that are required for the free goods table from the list of allowed fields that are contained in the field catalog and can also be extended there. Generate the new free goods table.

Define Access Sequence and Discount-in-Kind Types

In this step, you define access sequences and types of free goods. The access sequence is a search strategy that the SAP System uses to find valid free goods records for a free goods type. You specify an access sequence in every type of free goods. This defines which fields the SAP System checks when searching for a valid free goods record.

You should not change the access sequences and free goods types that are contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
