SAP Sales and Distribution Certification Practice Exam

The concept of ‘Delivery Free-of-Charge’ versus ‘Subsequent Delivery Free-of-Charge’ hinges on how each is processed in the SAP Sales and Distribution module, particularly in terms of how they are categorized and what pricing implications are presented.

When a delivery is classified as 'Subsequent Delivery Free-of-Charge', it uses the item category KLN. This item category is specifically designed for deliveries that do not involve any pricing, reflecting the nature of the delivery as being free of charge. This means that the goods are delivered without any charge to the customer after the original sale has been completed, which is why it does not involve any pricing calculations.

On the other hand, 'Delivery Free-of-Charge' utilizes the item category TAN. While this allows for pricing and can be used in situations where discounts or promotional offers may apply, it does not inherently imply that the delivery is completely without costs.

Understanding this distinction is crucial for correctly configuring and processing transactions within the SAP system, ensuring that businesses manage their deliverables in accordance with customer agreements effectively and accurately reflect these in their financial systems.
