Insert installation points (subitems) in existing bom

Question

Hi,
I am trying to insert installation points in an existing bom. Searching the forum i learned that this should be possible with function CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN using table t_stpu. I did this and get an sy-subrc = 0 but when i take a look at the bom i see that no installation points are inserted.
this is a peace of the codecode :
loop at itab.
move wa_stpo-item_node to i_stpu_upd-pointer.
i_stpu_upd-MANDT = sy-mandt.
i_stpu_upd-STLTY = 'M'.
i_stpu_upd-stlnr = wa_stpo-bom_no.
i_stpu_upd-STLKN = wa_stpo-item_node.
i_stpu_upd-STPOZ = wa_stpo-item_count.
i_stpu_upd-UPMNG = '1'.
i_stpu_upd-EBORT = itab.
i_stpu_upd-SELKZ = 'X'.
move sy-tabix to v_uposz.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
        EXPORTING
          input  = v_uposz
        IMPORTING
          output = v_uposz.
i_stpu_upd-UPOSZ = v_uposz.
append i_stpu_upd.
endloop.
endif.
endif.
clear i_stpo_upd.
move-corresponding wa_stpo to i_stpo_upd.
append i_stpo_upd.
clear ch_stko.
PERFORM begin_of_api USING 'CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN'.
CALL FUNCTION 'CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN'
            EXPORTING
              material           = '21822'
              plant              = ''
              bom_usage          = '1'
              "VALID_FROM         = v_date
              i_stko             = ch_stko
              CHANGE_NO          = wa_stpo-CHANGE_NO
              fl_bom_create = ' '
             fl_new_item = ' '
IMPORTING
   fl_warning = flg_warning
             o_stko     = tstk2
            TABLES
              T_STPO             = i_stpo_upd
              t_stpu             = i_stpu_upd
            EXCEPTIONS
              error              = 1
              OTHERS             = 2.
      if flg_warning = 'X'.
            PERFORM api_log_to_return USING ermsg_update.
            if not ermsg_update is initial.
              move ermsg_update to errorlog.
              append errorlog.
            endif.
          else.
            move 'Update successful' to errorlog.
            append errorlog.
            CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
EXPORTING
WAIT = 'X'
IMPORTING
RETURN = C_RETURN .
          endif.
Can't find my fault, hope you guys can.
with regards

Hi Kumar,
Thanks for the quick response. The item I am talking about is a simple cable which is used in meters(only one unit). But for variable size item, we need more than 1 dimension right? The scenario is like this,
Material : Cable12345
Application:
Used in a single elctrical panel for different application as follows
a) for coolant motor
b) for servo motor
Here they are identifying these two applications with different tagging like CB6 & CB17
In the BOM they are giving Cable12345 as an item for the electrical panel and they are adding the length of cable required for both the application (4M + 6M) and giving as 10 M against the code. I want to split the same thing using installation point as follows
Header
Electrical panel
Item
Cable12345           10M(Total of SI's)
Sub-item details
Installation points   SI-QTY      SI-Text
Coolant motor         4M            CB6(tagging reference)
Servo motor           6M            CB17(tagging reference)
If I define the BOM like this structure, I assume the consumption will be for 10M (item qty) and we can print the SI content in the production order.
Kindly confirm.
