A/R Invoice Import

Question

Hello
I have up until now managed to find a solution to any error/problems with SAP B1 by searching this forum, and my current issue appeared to be no different, however regardless of the information gathered from here and experience today I cannot get my file to import successfully.
I have followed the instruction on MickeySAPB1 post of 13/09/11 but still no joy, so I was hoping for some guidance.
I am trying to transfer invoices from one SAP company to another by using the import function and have prepared both the files OINV and INV1 with the following data:
OINV
DocNum     DocType                     Handwrtten     DocDat       DocDueDate     CardCode     Ref1     Ref2
712     dDocument_Service     tYES     20111201     20111201     T099     207471     PFL - Brown
INV1
DocNum     ItemCode       Dscription     Quantity      AcctCode                      TaxCode    PriceBefDi
712     PFL - Brown       Service     1     _SYS00000000030     x0     955
I have tried many variations with different fields included/excluded but keep experiencing an error - unfortunately we cannot view any data in respect of the error - so it is pretty much a guessing game.
one other thing I noticed is that I have 2 data lines in my test files, but only one is ever picked up in the source data when I attempt to import - I tried adding a column with the field RecordKey as this is used in our JNL import template and it appeared to do the trick (I can import journals without issue) - I have excluded this from the main fields provided above.
I would be grateful for any guidance anyone could provide.
Many thanks in advance

Hi Neetu
Thanksfor the suggestion, unfortunately it didnt work.
this is the error message I receive - its basically the same for the majority of attempts, the only exception being that on occassion I it says that 1 record of 2 has been successful.
IMPORT PROCESS FINISH
In Process                                                                 50%
Number of errors detected                                         1
Number of Processed Record                                 1 of 2
0 Business objects were imported successfully
1 business object was not imported
This to me translates as:
First file failed ie the header, so if I receive the message - 1 of 2 files have imported successfully - does that mean that the header is at least correct and only leaves the line detail file to be amended???
You may have noticed that I am not an IT person, so I appreciate your patience greatly.
thanks
