BAPI purchase order create (subcontracting)

[maciej_gerke]

Hi,

Is it possible to create subcomponents for PO item when it is not BOM related? I checked BAPI_PO_CREATE and CREATE1 (with ALE messages assigned) but cannot find how to use standard way to accomplish this (ver. 4.6C).

Is there a better way to do this than batch input with ME21?

Best regards,

Maciej

Check this FM where they used that BAPI.

IDOC_INPUT_PORDCR

That's the first thing I checked...

CREATE1 is used only once in 4.7 (idoc_input..) and not in 4.6C, there should be new interface generated. The problem is all BAPIs interfaces have no container for subcomponents at all (only items general, schedule lines, service lines, conditions etc.).

Note 197958 says BAPI_PO_CREATE can be used for creating subcontracting items only when BOMs exist and most probably it is the last answer to this issue;)

Br,
