Characteristic values in BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE

Question

Hi,
I want to add new configurable item in existing sales order with charactersitic values.
Iam using bapi BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE.
Iam now able to insert configurable item in existing sales order.
But the characteristic values are not getting stored.
Latest code is attached. What else is missing for storing characteristic values ?
select maximum item number in sales order
SELECT MAX( POSNR ) FROM VBAP CLIENT SPECIFIED
INTO MAX_POSNR
WHERE MANDT = SY-MANDT AND
VBELN = I_SORDER.
TMP_POSNR = MAX_POSNR + 10.
WA_HDRX-UPDATEFLAG = 'U'.      "update
SALES_DOC = I_SORDER.
item data
WA_ITEM-ITM_NUMBER = TMP_POSNR.
WA_ITEM-MATERIAL   = 'LEFTEYE'.
WA_ITEM-PLANT      = I_STORE.
WA_ITEM-SHIP_POINT = I_STORE.
APPEND WA_ITEM TO IT_ITEM.
WA_ITEMX-ITM_NUMBER = TMP_POSNR.
WA_ITEMX-UPDATEFLAG = 'I'.      "add
WA_ITEMX-MATERIAL   = 'X'.
WA_ITEMX-PLANT      = 'X'.
WA_ITEMX-SHIP_POINT = 'X'.
APPEND WA_ITEMX TO IT_ITEMX.
Schedule lines
WA_SCHD-ITM_NUMBER = TMP_POSNR.
WA_SCHD-SCHED_LINE = TMP_POSNR.
WA_SCHD-REQ_DATE   = SY-DATUM.
WA_SCHD-REQ_QTY    = 1.
WA_SCHD-SCHED_TYPE = 'CN'.
APPEND WA_SCHD TO IT_SCHD.
WA_SCHDX-ITM_NUMBER = TMP_POSNR.
WA_SCHDX-SCHED_LINE = TMP_POSNR.
WA_SCHDX-REQ_DATE   = 'X'.
WA_SCHDX-REQ_QTY    = 'X'.
WA_SCHDX-SCHED_TYPE = 'X'.
APPEND WA_SCHDX TO IT_SCHDX.
config & characteristic values
WA_VALUE-CONFIG_ID = '000001'.
WA_VALUE-INST_ID   = '00000001'.
WA_VALUE-CHARC     = 'PRES_DIST_SPH'.
WA_VALUE-VALUE     = '3.2'.
APPEND WA_VALUE TO IT_VALUE.
WA_INST-CONFIG_ID  = '000001'.
WA_INST-INST_ID    = '00000001'.
WA_INST-OBJ_TYPE   = 'MARA'.
WA_INST-CLASS_TYPE = '300'.
WA_INST-OBJ_KEY    = 'LEFTEYE'.
WA_INST-QUANTITY   = 1.
WA_INST-QUANTITY_UNIT = 'NO'.
APPEND WA_INST TO IT_INST.
WA_REF-POSEX     = TMP_POSNR.
WA_REF-CONFIG_ID = '000001'.
WA_REF-ROOT_ID   = '00000001'.
APPEND WA_REF TO IT_REF.
WA_PART-CONFIG_ID  = '000001'.
WA_PART-PARENT_ID  = '00000001'.
WA_PART-INST_ID    = '00000001'.
WA_PART-OBJ_TYPE   = 'MARA'.
WA_PART-CLASS_TYPE = '300'.
WA_PART-OBJ_KEY    = 'LEFTEYE'.
APPEND WA_PART TO IT_PART.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE'
EXPORTING
  SALESDOCUMENT      = SALES_DOC
  ORDER_HEADER_INX   = WA_HDRX
TABLES
  RETURN                         = IT_RET
ORDER_ITEM_IN             = IT_ITEM
ORDER_ITEM_INX            = IT_ITEMX
ORDER_CFGS_REF         = IT_REF
ORDER_CFGS_PART_OF = IT_PART
ORDER_CFGS_INST        = IT_INST
ORDER_CFGS_VALUE    = IT_VALUE
SCHEDULE_LINES          = IT_SCHD
SCHEDULE_LINESX        = IT_SCHDX.
READ TABLE IT_RET INTO WA_RET WITH KEY TYPE = 'E'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK'.
ELSE.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.
ENDIF.
I get the following messages from BAPI :
ORDER_HEADER_IN has been processed successfully.
ITEM_IN has been processed successfully
The sales document is not yet complete: Edit data
TIL-Direct Sales TINDC01372 has been saved
What else is missing ? Any help is appreciated.
thanks,

Hello Nagarajan,
I have used this BAPI in my last task. You are passing the values correctly. I will tell you why it is giving like that message.
Whenever we will create a sales order in VA01 transaction, you will get a message like "The sales order is not complete, would you like to EDIT" while saving the sales order.... This is because of not providing complete data required for careation of sales order.
Try to implement the changes manually in VA02, if you get same errors, then you can find your code is correct.
Even I got same type of messages when changing a sales order to change the Rejection Reason for the items.
