Create Delveries(Partial) for one order using BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CREATE_SLS

Question

Hi All,
In ECC Transaction VL10A, for example for one order having 5 QTY, user can process 2 QTY and create delivery, remaining
with 3 QTY another delivery is possible.
Same way i am trying to create deliverys using BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CREATE_SLS.
For Processing delivery ( giving Partial QTY ) i am using another application and that is working. But when i am trying to create
delivery for same order (which is Parial delivered), it is not allowing to create delivery. giving error.
No Instance of object type Outbound delivery has been created external reference.
No Schedule lines due for delivery upto the selected date.
Is there any other BAPI is there for like this scenario or how can i process this using this BAPI??
Please give me any help?
This is code i am using to process BAPI...
if sy-subrc is INITIAL.
    LOOP AT IT_VBAP INTO WA_VBAP.
      WA_TAB-REF_DOC    = WA_VBAP-VBELN.
      WA_TAB-REF_ITEM   = WA_VBAP-POSNR.
      WA_TAB-DLV_QTY    = WA_VBAP-KWMENG.
      WA_TAB-SALES_UNIT = WA_VBAP-VRKME.
      append WA_TAB to DEL_TAB.
    ENDLOOP.
  ENDIF.
* Calling BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CREATE_SLS
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CREATE_SLS'
    EXPORTING
      SHIP_POINT        = lv_ship_point
      DUE_DATE          = lv_ledat
    IMPORTING
      DELIVERY          = del
    TABLES
      SALES_ORDER_ITEMS = del_tab
      RETURN            = bapi_return.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Venkat,
If you check the Function Module Documentation, there is a note which mentions:
Order (SALES_ORDER_ITEMS-REF_DOC)
Unless specified otherwise, the entire order is delivered. This means that it is not necessary to list all the order items. It is sufficient to specify the order number.
Please try this.
