Partner role cannot be processed by BAPI BAPI_PO_CREATE

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to create Purchase Order through inbound IDoc with the message type PORDCR and idoc type PORDCR04. I am facing a weird error

Partne role cannot be processed by BAPI BAPI_PO_CREATE

Message no. W5150

Diagnosis

Only the following roles are possible for BAPI BAPI_PO_CREATE:

• IP - invoicing party
• GS - goods supplier

I maintained all the required data to create the PO. The system shows that the vendor master is not valid, but I was able to create the PO with the same data using BAPI_PO_CREATE.

Please let me know how to resolve this.

Regards,

Dileep

Please read OSS note 668178 - BAPI_PO_CREATE: W5 150 - cannot use partner role

Hi Jurgen,

Thanks for the reply. We are Processing with ALE Service . Do I need to have any additional setup in BD64?? I think im missing some configuration thing here.

cant you use BAPI_PO_CREATE1 instead of BAPI_PO_CREATE?

there are no limitations for BAPI_PO_CREATE1 in regard of the partner roles

BAPI_PO_CREATE can really only those 2 partner roles that are mentioned in the error.

By default i think the system is taking BAPI_PO_CREATE. How can i use/select BAPI_PO_CREATE1 instead ??

Is't it in the partner profile transaction WE20  where you enter the message type that is used

Use the idoc type PORDCR01 instead of PORDCR04, which uses the BAPI_PO_CREATE1.
