Error in BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA - ACCOUNTING_KEYS_READ_FOR_BWKEY

Question

Hello,
An error was occured when I use a program that transfers data form one system to another with bapi BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.
Error is :
"Required parameters missing when calling up module ACCOUNTING_KEYS_READ_FOR_BWKEY"
I have no idea what this message means and what the solution is..
Can you help me?
Thanks..

I have found a work around.  We have a custom function that called this BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA, and in the SAP R/3 4.6 we did not pass the valuationdata and valuationdatax.  I found that you have to pass these.  The only field you need to pass is valu_area.  Check the table T001K to see what value it should be.  This corresponds to "plant" as far as I can tell.  Here is some of the code=  ( I only show what I had to add to populate the val_area, which is bwkey.
  DATA: st_valuationdata LIKE BAPI_MBEW,
           st_valuationdatax LIKE BAPI_MBEWX.
  move sales_org to st_valuationdata-val_area.
  move sales_org to st_valuationdatax-val_area.
I also populate other structures...but this one I only move the value
of sales_org, which happens to be the same as bwkey on our system.
commented out alot of the structures before.  Because of ECC 6 upgrade,
I had to uncomment the VALUATIONDATA and VALUATIONDATAX.
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'
    EXPORTING
     headdata                   = st_mat_hdr
     clientdata                 = st_clientdata
     clientdatax                = st_clientdatax
maybe need to use plantdata to enter plant number...
     plantdata                  = st_plantdata
     plantdatax                 = st_plantdatax
  FORECASTPARAMETERS         =
  FORECASTPARAMETERSX        =
  PLANNINGDATA               =
  PLANNINGDATAX              =
  STORAGELOCATIONDATA        =
*{   INSERT         SNDK900107                                        2
    VALUATIONDATA              = st_valuationdata
    VALUATIONDATAX             = st_valuationdatax
*}   INSERT
  STORAGELOCATIONDATAX       =
  VALUATIONDATA              =
  VALUATIONDATAX             =
  WAREHOUSENUMBERDATA        =
  WAREHOUSENUMBERDATAX       =
   salesdata                  =  st_salesdata
   salesdatax                 =  st_salesdatax
  STORAGETYPEDATA            =
  STORAGETYPEDATAX           =
  FLAG_ONLINE                = ' '
  IMPORTING
     return                     =  st_bapi_return
   TABLES
     materialdescription        =  tbl_mat_desc
    unitsofmeasure             =   tbl_unitsofmeasure
    unitsofmeasurex            =   tbl_unitsofmeasurex
  INTERNATIONALARTNOS        =
  MATERIALLONGTEXT           =
    taxclassifications         =   tbl_taxclassifications.
  RETURNMESSAGES             =
  PRTDATA                    =
  PRTDATAX                   =
  EXTENSIONIN                =
  EXTENSIONINX               =
Now it works....So something has changed with the upgrade to make it
necessary to at least pass the plant in the valuationdata, and the valuationdatax
structures.
