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.

Master Data Setup
Material Master

Create Condition Record for Free Goods Determination

We need to create condition record for free goods for the combination of vendor, material, plant and the
purchase organization with the corresponding validity period. Use t code, MBN1 for the creation of
condition record. The same can be created while info record creation also.
T code: MBN1
Select the standard condition type NR00 or any customized condition type of your requirement. SAP
providing standard condition type as NR00.
Enter it,
2010 SAP AG 7
Select Info record: Plant-specific per order unit
Enter vendor, material number, purchase organization, plant and the validity period. At item level maintain
the item category type, order unit.

Here, enter the minimum quantity to be ordered in order to avail the free goods / bonus goods and the ratio
of the quantity, free goods in the respective field. If it is Inclusive rebate, enter the key value 1 in the free
goods category.
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

info record creation process.
2010 SAP AG 11

Configuration Overview
Define Field Catalog

In this step, you define the field catalog for the allowed fields. The standard system contains order unit,
purchasing organization, purchasing information category, vendor, material and plant fields. You can add
additional field like material group to this table.

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.

2010 SAP AG 19
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.

2010 SAP AG 20
Maintain Access Sequence

You group together all the free goods types that are to be taken into account by the system in determining a
free goods discount for a business transaction in a pricing procedure/calculation schema. Please note that
only the free goods types contained in the free goods schema can be entered manually.

2010 SAP AG 21
Define Free Goods Types

In this step, you create new free goods types. If you define your own free goods types and access
sequences, then the key should start with the letter Z because SAP does not use this name range in the
standard system. You should not change the access sequences and free goods types that are contained in
the standard SAP R/3 System.

by specifying the dependencies between the free goods schemas and the purchasing organization schema
group the vendor schema group

Maintain Free Goods Schema

In this step, you define a free goods schema.
In the free goods schema, you define which free goods types are to be taken into account and their
sequence. When determining the free-goods discount, the SAP System automatically determines which free-
goods schema is valid for a business transaction, and takes the types of free-goods contained in the schema
into account one after the other.

condition records.
