Clear WBS field in sales order using bapi_salesorder_createfromdat2.

Question

Hi,
Situation is this, I have a sales order, where the WBS element in the line item is populated. I want to clear that field to blank and save the sales order.
When I try to do that using the bapi_salesorder_createfromdat2, it says that it is successful, but when I go back to the sales order and see that field is still populated and not cleared. But the same field if I clear it through VA02 it works fine.
Header level update flag is set as 'U'.
I have tried setting up 'D' 'U' and 'I' for the update flag for the line item. Still no luck.
Given below is the sample code, did anybody else also faced the same issue.

S     V1     311     Standard order 1067 has been saved          Standard order     1067
Which means it says it save successfully..but data is not changed.
Any Ideas??
Thanks and Regards,

Answer 1

Hi,
The problem is fixed. The item inx table I was not passing the item number field, so the bapi was not knowing which line item to update.
It was a stupid overlook on my part.
Thanks and Regards,
