Error while running Process Order API to import orders - URGENT HELP NEEDED

Question

Hi all,
I'm stuck with order import using OE_ORDER_PUB.PROCESS_ORDER api. Wanted to import a simple order in Vision database using the process order api. Figured out the right data to use, inserted into Headers and Lines Iface All tables. When calling the OE_ORDER_PUB.PROCESS_ORDER api, it is throwing this error:
"Header ID does not exist on this record or does not match ID specified on header record. You require a valid header ID if the operation is Create."
But when I validate the same record using the CORRECTIONS form in Order Import GUI, the order is successfully validated. Also the order is imported when I click the IMPORT button.
I understand that HEADER_ID column is not required for creating a new order, but not sure why it is erroring. Here is the data I'm using:
Insert into oe_headers_iface_all
(org_id, order_type_id, order_source_id, orig_sys_document_ref, ordered_date, request_date,
sold_from_org_id, sold_to_org_id, ship_from_org_id, ship_to_org_id, invoice_to_org_id,
CREATED_BY,CREATION_DATE,LAST_UPDATED_BY,LAST_UPDATE_DATE,LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN,OPERATION_CODE)
values (204, 1430, 1046, '101040', sysdate, sysdate, 204, 1004, 606, 1018, 1017, 0, sysdate, 0, sysdate, 0, 'CREATE');
Insert into oe_lines_iface_all
("ORDER_SOURCE_ID","ORIG_SYS_DOCUMENT_REF","ORIG_SYS_LINE_REF","ORIG_SYS_SHIPMENT_REF","ORG_ID","INVENTORY_ITEM","LINE_TYPE_ID",request_date,"SCHEDULE_DATE","DELIVERY_LEAD_TIME","ORDERED_QUANTITY","ORDER_QUANTITY_UOM",sold_from_org_id, sold_to_org_id, ship_from_org_id, ship_to_org_id, invoice_to_org_id,"UNIT_SELLING_PRICE","CREATED_BY","CREATION_DATE","LAST_UPDATED_BY","LAST_UPDATE_DATE","LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN","OPERATION_CODE")
values
(1046,'101040', '1', '1', 204, 'AS72111', 1427, sysdate, sysdate+1, 0, 10, 'Ea' ,204, 1004, 606, 1018, 1017,100,0,sysdate,0,sysdate,0,'CREATE');
Any help is appreciated.
FYI - this is a 11.5.10.2 version installed on Windows 2003 server.
Thanks in advance.

I might be late in replying, but hope it might help.
From your query it seems you are inserting records into interface tables and then calling process order API( probably from some PL/SQL block).
This is where I am confused, because I hope you understand, that interface tables are for use with Order Import concurrent Program, and for Process ORder API, you need to provide the data as parameter. The api has, header record type and line table type as parameters. So you need to assign correct data to these variables and pass them as parameter when you are calling Process Order API.
If you are doing the same thing, then post the exact pl/SQL code and error message from the API. That might help diagnose the issue.
