How to close OLD POs which are in Closed or Cancelled ?

Question

Hi All,
We are working on Oracle Applications : 11.5.10.2
Our client wants to Finally Close the OLD POs which are in Closed or Cancelled state in order for them to be Purged as part of Archiving Project.
For the same I am trying with the API - po_actions.close_po
Follwoing is the code I tried to close one PO, by simply hardcoding the values -
DECLARE
   lv_result     BOOLEAN;
   return_code   VARCHAR2 (20);
BEGIN
   lv_result :=
      po_actions.close_po (p_docid              => 1834281,
                           p_doctyp             => 'PO',
                           p_docsubtyp          => 'STANDARD',
                           p_lineid             => 0,
                           p_shipid             => 0,
                           p_action             => 'FINALLY CLOSED',
                           p_reason             => 'Finally CLosed',
                           p_calling_mode       => 'PO',
                           p_conc_flag          => 'N',
                           p_return_code        => return_code,
                           p_auto_close         => 'N',
                           p_action_date        => TRUNC(SYSDATE),
                           p_origin_doc_id      => 50386
   COMMIT;
   IF lv_result = TRUE
   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Successfully closed PO#');
   ELSE
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Cannot close PO#');
   END IF;
END;
But for all PO's the return code is returning FALSE.
Can anyone please advise me where I may be going wrong or if the above API does not work then what is the other means to close POs.
Also I read many questions on the forums for the same, but none has a definite answer.
Please advise..as there are many PO's and cant be closed manually.

Shruti

Hi Shruti,
Please have a loot at notes:
