Can I add PO items using BAPI_PO_CHANGE?

[KHummel]

Hi,

currently I'm trying to use BAPI_PO_CHANGE to add another item to an already existing purchase order <i>(Rel. 4.6C - slightly out of date, I know )</i>.

I therefore fill table parameters poitem, poitemx, poaccount und poaccountx. When I fill fields PO_ITEM in these tables with the expected new item no (e.g. adding a third item with # 30 to an PO with two existing items # 10 and # 20), I get in return the error message

<b>MEPO 071 Item 00030 does not exist</b>

Instead, with clearing fields PO_ITEM in these tables and letting the system compute item numbers by itself, I get for instance error message

<b>ME 083 Please enter costcenter</b>

Does anyone knoe a way to correctly add new PO items using this BAPI? SAP documentation is not very elaborate in this case

Thanks in advance,

Klaus

You should enter to tables

POITEM :

PO_ITEM = number

PREQ_NO = Purchase Requisition number

PREQ_ITEM = Purchase Requisition item.

POITEMX fields:

PO_ITEM = number

PO_ITEMX = 'I'

PREQ_NO = 'X'

PREQ_ITEM = 'X'

Thank you!

PO_ITEMX = 'I' was the hint I needed, plus filling tables PO_ACCOUNT and PO_ACCOUNTX.
