I would like to get some feedback on how others process free inventory product. The following are some of the parameters that we are working with in this type of situation: 1) The product is an Inventory type product 2) We receive FREE product based on how much we procure with the vendor; so the sipments will be sporadic and vary in quantity 3) The vendor requires a Purchase Order to ship the free product on 4) We want to have one Purchase Order to have the vendor ship on.
We are looking at the the most efficient way to handle this process without a lot of ongoing maintenance and tracking, while staying within the Lawson confines; we try to avoid manual workarounds. Any feedback on what others have seen or experienced would be greatly appreciated.

Use the No Charge function so that you can receive the goods and keep your soh and rop's accurate. The PO Line should close upon receipt. Vendor's will likely send invoice with $0 price which will have to be removed from matching. Case in point Abbott Ross.

I'm sorry to say but I think this is going to be a manual process. When you know you're eligible for some of the free product you will have to enter it on a PO and change the cost option flag to 2.
