Free Item Scheme

RudraKandpal · 2011-11-11

Hi All,
There is one requirement of free Item on sale of free Item
For Example.. If I sell Item 'A' Qty 10 the Item 'B' Qty 1 will be free.
Another example :- If I sell Item 'A' Qty 10 the Item 'A' Qty 1 will be free.
Another example:- If I sell Item 'A' Qty 20 the Item 'B' Qty 2 will be free.
it might have multiple combination.

The requirement is that free item should automatically come if I select the selling Item.

It is a real requirement.... Our client sell 10 Bottle of Cough Syrup and give 1 bottle free , It's in the multiple of 10.
Sell 20 Bottle, 2 Bottle free
Sell 30 Bottle, 3 Bottle free

Its not much simple customization that we can discuss here..

you need to sit with your seniors in team and take a decision on design..

The issue had been discussed in forum earlier. Use search.
Also you can refer to simillar functionality available in LS retail.

Your problem will come with the multiple combinations.
How can you automatically insert the "free" item if you don't know what the free item might be?
It could be "a" or it could be "b", "c", etc.

At this point i'm guessing they are manually entering the 2nd line for the free item with the line discount @ %100.

You're going to have to spend time to figure how to handle multiple choices

Only one scheme is valid for one Item, let's say that with the selling unit 10 of Item A i will give 1 unit of Item B. This scheme I will provide in Item card. For on item only one scheme is valid, whichever scheme is valid for the Item A the system will automatically give Item B free.
Maybe for Item c there might me another scheme, let's for selling unit of 100 - Item C only 1 Item B is free and this is I am going to define in Item card.

I hope this will give more clarity.

We understand what you are trying to do.
Buy 1 get 1 free has been discussed many times.
But you have to develop it yourself.
The forum is here if you get stuck while doing your own development and hopefully a forum member can give you some suggestions to get you thru a part your having problems with.

Have you thought about building a new table that holds:
the Original Item Number
the free item item number
some kind of qty break trigger
and the number of pieces you get free per break.

this would be more flexible than adding a field to the item card. unless you are 100% sure nobody in the near future will be asking for ...if they buy 10 of "A" they get 1 "A" free - but if the buy 100 of "A" they get 10 "B" free. If i was to spend time developing a solution like this I would make sure it does what I want it to do. PLUS make it flexible enough to handle possible future needs.

then you'll have to develop something on the sales line table.
when the item & qty is entered (on validate probably) you'll have to call this table to see if anything falls within the criteria you're looking for then have that insert a new line in the sales line table.

I haven't looked into Kitting but look at that option too. Make a kit of the item + free item?

To me these promo deals are usually customer specific, hence not standard. Good luck
