ME41 create - create RFQ - BAPI - Userexit

Question

Hello experts,
I'm was trying to find a BAPI to create a request for quotation (RFQ).
I read the thread [Re: BAPI to create Purchase Requisition;, so there seams to be no BAPI.
For that reason I tried to solve the problem with batch input. It created a RFQ. But in further steps the transaction normally loops throught a amount of suppliers, the RFQ is directed to.
CLEAR ls_bdc_data.
ls_bdc_data-fnam = 'BDC_OKCODE'.
ls_bdc_data-fval = '/00'.
APPEND ls_bdc_data TO lt_bdc_data.
ls_ctu_params-racommit = ''.
ls_ctu_params-nobinpt = 'X'.
ls_ctu_params-dismode = 'E'.
* ls_ctu_params-updmode = 'S'.
ls_ctu_params-nobiend = 'X'.
CALL TRANSACTION 'ME41' USING lt_bdc_data OPTIONS FROM ls_ctu_params.
Does anybody have an idea.
Best regards,
Andi

Hi,
I found the problem. The ME41 uses a COMMIT WORK in MM06EF0B_BUCHEN.
* docu: process COMMIT WORK
* function module, ME41 and ME59 sometimes using COMMIT AND WAIT
  IF no_commit IS INITIAL.             "for FM w/o COMMIT possible
    IF commit_wait IS INITIAL AND sy-tcode NE 'ME41'
      AND NOT ( ( fc_vorga EQ cva_ab OR NOT gf_me59n IS INITIAL )
                                   AND gf_atp_indicator EQ 'X' ).
      COMMIT WORK.
    ELSE.
      COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
    ENDIF.
For that reason I had to change the options:
  ls_ctu_params-racommit = 'X'.
  ls_ctu_params-nobinpt = 'X'.
  ls_ctu_params-dismode = 'E'.
  " ls_ctu_params-updmode = 'L'.
  ls_ctu_params-nobiend = 'X'.
  CALL TRANSACTION 'ME41' USING lt_bdc_data OPTIONS FROM ls_ctu_params.
It works.
