BAPI_PO_CREATE1 creates Info Record

Question

Hello,
I am creating purchase orders using function BAPI_PO_CREATE1.
But the function creates an Inforecord for the ordered material (if no inforecord for the material exists then a new is created).
How to avoid it? I don't want any new info records, I just need to create a normal purchase order.
In POITEM table I set the following parameter:
        poitem-INFO_UPD = ' '.
        poitemx-INFO_UPD = 'X'.
but it doesn't work!
Please, help!
Thanks
Pawel
