SAP Retail supports the following kinds of free merchandise:
The free article is the same as the purchased article. The first article scanned has the full price; the second one scanned has 0 price. This also holds for multiples, such as buy 4 boxes of candy, get 1 free. (SAP refers to this as an "exclusive bonus quantity.")
The free article is the same as the purchased article. In this case, three articles are scanned at full price, then essentially the customer receives an instant rebate at POS for the price of the third article. This likewise holds for multiples, such as buy 11 CDs for the price of 10. (SAP refers to this as an "discounted goods quantity.")
The free article is different from the purchased article. For example, buy a perfume and get a free purse-size eau de toilette, or buy a 20-piece set of china and get a free serving bowl.
You can also adjust purchasing conditions to include free merchandise which you receive from the vendor (that is, vendor to the retailer).
Just as in standard Sales & Distribution, the free articles are assigned to the purchased article but carry zero price.
Assume you have a "buy 3 get 1 free" promotion on an article that costs $2:
