Hi Radhika,

There are certain fields, you do not need to enter values for while using the transaction ME21N, but here in the BAPI, u need to.. Those would have been the key fields, Durga prasad Might have meant about.

Also, there are 2 transactions available for PO creation: ME21 and ME21N. Me21 is an old transaction which is not suggested to use now, as there is a change there, SAP has made a copy of BAPI_PO_CREATE and made some significant changes to the BAPI and named if BAPI_PO_CREATE1.

ALso, you can add your own custom fields to these structures here..

Hope this helps..

Best regards,

Harsha
