Dim functionCtrl As Object
Dim sapConnection As Object
Dim theFunc As Object
Dim PoNumber

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Set functionCtrl = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
Set sapConnection = functionCtrl.Connection
sapConnection.Client = "500"
sapConnection.user = "USERNAME"
sapConnection.password = "PASSWORD"
sapConnection.Language = "EN"
If sapConnection.logon(0, False) <> True Then
    MsgBox "No connection to R/3 System"
    Exit Sub                                           'End program
End If
Set theFunc = functionCtrl.Add("BAPI_PO_CREATE")

Dim poitems As Object
Dim poitemschedule As Object
Dim retMess As Object
Dim returnFunc As Boolean
Dim startzeil As Integer

poheader.Value("VENDOR") = Text1.Text 
poheader.Value("PURCH_ORG") = Text2.Text 
poheader.Value("PUR_GROUP") = Text3.Text 
poheader.Value("DOC_TYPE") = Text4.Text  

poitems.Rows.Add
poitems.Value(1, "PUR_MAT") = Text5.Text 
poitems.Value(1, "PLANT") = Text6.Text 
poitems.Value(1, "NET_PRICE") = Text7.Text

poitemschedule.Value(1, "QUANTITY") = Text9.Text  

returnFunc = theFunc.call

Set retMess = theFunc.tables.Item("RETURN")
If retMess Is Nothing Then
MsgBox retMess.Value(1, "MESSAGE")
Else
MsgBox "Purchase Order No : " & PoNumber & "Created"
End If
