BAPI_PO_CREATE1 does not actually create PO

[Former Member]

I'm using BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to create purchase orders. I know it doesn't actually create the order itself when run from SE37, but is this also the case if called in a program which is run via SE80 or SE38? I even added a t-code to the program, but the documents don't show up in EKKO... the BAPI gives me a few warning mesages, but basically states that a PO has been created with number so-and-so. Do I need a commit work or something in my program?

It does create in SE37.

To do this, please use BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT .

goto test>TEST SEQUENCE

run bapi_po_creat, follow by bapi_transaction_commit.

For your program, put in BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after BAPI_PO_CREATE.

good luck

      COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.

Small correction add a Commit work and wait after checking whether PO has been created (BAPI already exports this to our program as you can see from the above program)

Also please check whether you have authorisations to create new purchase order in System->user Profile -> Own Data

Do you have the data that you used to populate the variables? I have seen a multitude of different ways to use this data. I am having a problem and can't seem to find why the PO number is not being generated.
