BAPI_PO_CREATE1 - Subcontracting components

Former Member — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 03:55:53 GMT

Dear Experts,

I am using BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to create a purchase order. I am able to create a po for all normal process except for 'Sub-Contracting' process. I need to add componennts to the items and I am passing data to POCOMPONENTS and POCOMPONENTSX but I am getting the following error messages.

This function only possible for subcontracting items.

On the ME21n screen, we pass 'L' to item category to mark it as subcontracting item. How do I pass it in BAPI. There is no field in the bapi to pass 'L'.

Please help.

Regards,

M.Madhusudan Rao.

Hi Niraj,

Thanks for the quickest reply. I really wonder how I missed out Item_cat field in items table.

Now the BAPI is working
