PR created using ME51N Vs. PR created using BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE - Probl

[Former Member]

Hello

When I create a purchase requisition manually using ME51N with item category L, the Components of the material are automatically been exploded. If you just press the components tab of the Material Data tab, we can see the components of the material

But, when I create a PR using BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE with the same data of the previous PR, then the component tab has no information at all. But If I press the Explode BOM, then I am getting the components. I need the components without exploding BOM as in the case of manual creation of a PR.

Do i need to pass any specific data in the BAPI to get the components ? Any help on this will be highly appriciated.

Thanks & Regards

please read note 499627. the bapi you are using is not capable of exploding your bom. the explosion is done when you use ME57 on that PR.
