FREE check box in PO should be selected by default for specific material

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a check box FREE in PO creation - ME21N in the item row which is selected when ever we want the vendor to supply those items as free.

- I have a list ot items which are supplied freely by the vendor which I have to mention in the PO. My requirment is when ever the specific material is in the PO the FREE check box should be selected by default. Is it possible?

Please advice.

Thanks ,

Vengal Rao.

Hi Vengal Rao,

I don't think this is possible to do in standard SAP, but I think the BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST, method PROCESS_ITEM can help you with this.

Sorry Gentlemen,

I quoted the wrong information in the forum it is not the PO but about the material master.

My requirment is - is there a place in material master where we can check it as FREE item if procurement is done for it. if not is there any method to identify that the material is to be supplied as FREE in material master.

Thanks ,

Vengal Rao.

Hi Vengal Rao,

I don't think there's such flag in the material master. As far as I know any material can be supplied either free or chargeable - the buyer has to choose the applicable option it in each specific PO.

If however in your business case certain materials shall always be supplied as free, then you can use the BAdI that I mentioned above to analyse which material is being procured and set the FREE flag in the PO accordingly.
