Hello @AnuradhaDwivedi,

What’s causing the error

Message: APPL_MM_PUR_PO 065 – Use a supported purchase order item category for the item & Why: The Purchase Order OData V4 API (API_PURCHASEORDER_2) does not support STO item category U (internal 7). Passing PurchaseOrderItemCategory: 7 triggers this error. SAP limits this API to standard NB POs and a small set of item categories. SAP Help Portal-APIs for Sourcing and Procurement-Purchase Order (OData V4)

Supported via the PO API include Standard (blank), Consignment (K), Subcontracting (L), Third-Party (S), and Enhanced Limits (A/E). Note that STO is not included in this list. SAP Help Portal

The correct approach for STO

Use the Stock Transport Order API instead of API_PURCHASEORDER_2:

• API: sap-s4-CE_STOCKTRANSPORTORDER_0001 for Public Cloud purpose built to create STOs. SAP Business Accelerator Hub

If you insist on the PO API, you must change your scenario to a standard NB PO and remove item category U/7. By design, it still won’t be an STO and will have no Shipping tab.

SAP Support Portal-3555741 - Cannot create/update Purchase Order NB2 using API_PURCHASEORDER_2

KBAs and useful documentation

• 3110493 – Cannot create Intercompany Stock Transfer Orders via Purchase Order API. States the PO API only creates standard NB POs; STO is not supported. SAP Support Portal-3110493 - Cannot create Purchase Order for Intercompany Stock Transfer Using API ...
• 3555741 – API_PURCHASEORDER_2 supports only Standard NB and ZNB types derived from NB (confirms scope). SAP Support Portal-3555741 - Cannot create/update Purchase Order NB2 using API_PURCHASEORDER_2
• SAP Help – Purchase Order (OData V4): lists the supported item categories for the service; STO category U/7 isn’t included. SAP Help Portal

With kind regards

You need to re-process your payload with item category 'A'

I do not see a material code in the message you posted below. You need a material code to create STO -- you can not create a STO for text items or blank items. Also if you using API

I do not see it support item category U=7

he service supports the following purchase order item categories:

Purchase Order Item Category Internal Symbol* External Symbol**

Standard	0	' ' (=blank)
Subcontracting	3	L
Third- Party	5	S
Enhanced Limits (for materials or lean services)	A	E
Consignment	2	K

I have added material number also but its showing same error

Hi Everyone, Any Solutions found on this? Can we Create STO using Purchase Order API?Since API: sap-s4-CE_STOCKTRANSPORTORDER_0001 for Public Cloud purpose, what other API can we use for Private Cloud?
