The document discusses activating pricing for free goods in SAP so that the system can determine a price and then remove it through a 100% discount. This allows the sales deduction process to be shown in profitability analysis (CO-PA). It also discusses defining incompleteness procedures to specify mandatory fields for sales documents, and assigning these procedures to objects like sales order headers and items. Fields can be marked as requiring a status message if incomplete during document processing.

Control Pricing For Free Goods Item Category
In the standard system, pricing for free goods is deactivated. In this IMG activity, you could activate
pricing with value 'B'. In this way, the system determines a price which is then removed by a 100%
discount during the next IMG activities.
This helps to show the process of sales deduction in Controlling (CO-PA).

Assign Incompleteness Procedures
Short text
Assign your previously defined incompleteness procedures to specific sales and distribution objects.
Use
In this step, you assign the incompleteness procedures that you defined in the previous step to a specific
sales and distribution object.
The system uses the incompletion procedure to determine which fields appear in the incompletion log
when the user does not enter information during document processing.
In certain cases, you can also indicate whether you want a user to be able to save an incomplete
document. If you mark the relevant field and then try to save a document in which information is
missing, the system shows a message saying that the document is incomplete.

Define incompleteness procedures to specify which fields are mandatory when a user creates a sales
and distribution document.
Use
You can define multiple incompleteness procedures for groups. These groups stand for objects in Sales,
for example, headers and items in sales and distribution documents.
Each group is broken down into multiple incompleteness procedures for specific document types, for
example, for credit memos.
In an incompleteness procedure, you group together the fields that are to be checked for completeness
whenever a user creates a document. If a user doesn’t fill one of these fields in the document, the
document is considered incomplete.
With the status group that you assign to a field, you can control, for example, whether the system
records a status message for this field or whether certain subsequent activities for the document are
blocked.
For every field in the procedure, you also define whether a warning message is to be issued during
processing if no data has been entered into the relevant field.
Note: This function does not exist in delivery processing. When you select the control field, it has no
further consequences.
Once you have defined your incompleteness procedures, you must assign them using Assign
Incompleteness Procedures.
Example
You specify that item data in a sales order is incomplete for billing because the terms of payment are
missing. If, during sales order processing, the terms of payment are missing, the system records an
appropriate status message.
In this case, you define the item data on group level, the sales order on procedure level, and the terms
of payment on field level.
Requirements
To be able to assign status groups to fields, you must have defined these groups in the Define Status
Groups Customizing activity.
Activities
1. Check if the defaults for the incompleteness procedures defined in the standard system meet
your requirements.
2. If necessary, adapt incompleteness procedures according to your requirements or define new
incompleteness procedures.

Further notes
Incompleteness procedure 50 is defined for incomplete texts in sales document processing. If you want
to assign your own status group to this procedure, you need to process View V_TVUF directly with the
transaction for Maintain table view. Note that the changes you make in this transaction affect all sales
document categories.
