Subcontract components BAPI_PO_CREATE1

[Former Member]

Hello,

i'm trying to use BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to create purchase orders with subcontracting components. I've been reading through many threads and everyone says that i need to load POCOMPONENT and POCOMPONENTX tables.

the problem is that i don't have those structures in my SAP system. I'm using sap r/3 4.7 (Release 470 patch level 0020)

should I upgrade patch level in order to be able to use them? I need to load components in the PO but i don't know how to handle it.

thanks in advance

Hi,

pass the values this way :

DATA : C_IND TYPE C VALUE 'X',

L_PURCHASE TYPE BAPIMEPOHEADER-PO_NUMBER .

*Populating Item table

WA_ITEM-PREQ_NO = WA_EBAN-BANFN.

WA_ITEM-PREQ_ITEM = WA_EBAN-BNFPO.

WA_ITEM-PO_ITEM = WA_EBAN-BNFPO.

WA_ITEM-SHORT_TEXT = WA_EBAN-TXZ01.

WA_ITEM-MATERIAL = WA_EBAN-MATNR.

WA_ITEM-PLANT = WA_EBAN-WERKS.

WA_ITEM-STGE_LOC = WA_EBAN-LGORT.

WA_ITEM-QUANTITY = WA_EBAN-MENGE.

WA_ITEM-MATL_GROUP = WA_EBAN-MATKL.

WA_ITEM-NET_PRICE = WA_EBAN-PREIS.

APPEND WA_ITEM TO LT_ITEM.

WA_ITEMX-PREQ_NO = C_IND.

WA_ITEMX-PREQ_ITEM = C_IND.

WA_ITEMX-PO_ITEM = WA_EBAN-BNFPO.

WA_ITEMX-PO_ITEMX = C_IND.

WA_ITEMX-SHORT_TEXT = C_IND.

WA_ITEMX-MATERIAL = C_IND.

WA_ITEMX-PLANT = C_IND.

WA_ITEMX-STGE_LOC = C_IND.

WA_ITEMX-QUANTITY = C_IND.

WA_ITEMX-MATL_GROUP = C_IND.

WA_ITEMX-NET_PRICE = C_IND.

APPEND WA_ITEMX TO LT_ITEMX.

WA_HEADER-VENDOR = WA_EBAN-LIFNR.

WA_HEADER-PURCH_ORG = 'BMS'.

WA_HEADER-PUR_GROUP = WA_EBAN-EKGRP.

WA_HEADER-DOC_TYPE = WA_EBAN-BSART.

WA_HEADERX-VENDOR = C_IND.

WA_HEADERX-PURCH_ORG = C_IND.

WA_HEADERX-PUR_GROUP = C_IND.

WA_HEADERX-DOC_TYPE = C_IND.

CLEAR:L_PURCHASE.

REFRESH:LT_RETURN1.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'

Anusha, i can't see in your code where I can fill the components. what i want to create is a subcontract purchase order. so I need to set item_category = 'L' and i need to fill in components for materials, but i can't find structures to fill these components.

what i can see in your code is how to create a normal purchase order, but that's not my doubt.

regards, Fabian.

Hi Fabian,

see note 197958:

"3. You can only create subcontracting items if the components (bill of material) already exist. As of ERP 2005, you can transfer subcontracting components to BAPI_PO_CREATE1 and BAPI_PO_CHANGE. By doing this, you can create completely new BOMs."

Regards,

Martina
