BAPI PO CHANGE failing for Item category B ; return table contains error

[former_member683231]

I have a requirement to update PO item category to B, and update the Limits and Account Assignment.

i tried using BAPI_PO_CHANGE, but fails to update; it gives:

-E SE 001 Buffer table not up to date (as the package being 0)

-I ME 664 Change Item Category could not be effected

As per my understanding, BDC Recording wont be apt for me22n as its an njoy tx and for me22 ,item category field is grayed out-(https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/512162 thus cant go with the BDC option)

https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2048777 2048777 - BAPI_PO_CHANGE: not possible to change item category

is there a better way to achieve this/using BAPI.

Please help with the same.Thanks.

Hi dmd_divya,
It seems the only workaround is deleting and creating a new line.
