Urgent: Not all records extracted to ODS

Question

Hi,
Not all of the records I am trying to load get updated to ODS. Ex:
Doc#     Item#     Created On     Debit/Credit
1000     1     02012007     540
1000     2     02012007     540
1000     1     02022007     -540
1000     2     02022007     -540
These 4 records appear as 2 records in ODS as:
1000     1     02022007     -540
1000     2     02022007     -540
When I do simulate update it shows me 4 records till communication structure. But from communication structure to ODS it they come in only as 2 records. There is no routine in update rules it is just direct one to one mapping. I am having this problem for records with same line item # within a document. Please advice how to solve this issue…
Thank you,
sam

I personally don't think there would be a requirement to load two line items the way you mention; if that is the case there should generally be some record number also coming in with the data. The data example you gave doesn't look right/complete to me somehow.
Anyway, you can get the record no in many ways. You can create a number range object in the system (check Txn SNUM), and you can then use standard functions in your code to get the next no (I think you can check functions NUMBER_RANGE* in se37 to get an appropriate one). Or you can always read the MAX() no stored in the ODS in this field and start from there in your routine (likely not as robust as the first option).
