Link between EKPO and EBET

Question

Hi
I have tried for long time to find the connection between EKPO and EKBE, but can't find a uniq way.
As example:
EKPO contain 2 lines (2 items)
EKBE contain 3 lines (2 lines for item 00010 and 1 line for item 00020).
The BELNR in EKBE has the same value for 2 of the entries (item 00010 and 00020), but another BELNR for the last item (00010).
Further more the field BUZEI is different.
EBELN        EBELP   ZEKKN VGABE GJAHR BELNR      BUZEI BEWTP
4500002152   00010   00    1     2009  5000000689 0001  E
4500002152   00010   00    1     2009  5000000691 0001  E
4500002152   00020   00    1     2009  5000000691 0002  E
The value that I want from EKBE is EKBE-BEWTP
Any ideas how to get the right line from EKBE?
thanks,

Hi,
Table EKBE is PO history, it means that connection between EKPO and EKBE is 1:N.
EKPO -<EBELN, EBELP>- EKBE
In your example you have two "BELNR" (two material document) which represent two goods receipt --> for PO item 10 there were two goods receipt (5000000689 , 5000000691) whilst against PO item 20 there was only one (5000000689).
BELNR the material document which may have several items, each item may correspond to one PO item. There's no (direct) connection between PO item and material document item numbering, so there's no direct connetcion between EBELP and BUZEI (I mean if EBELP is 10, BUZEI can be 1, 2, 3, ...25, 56, etc).
In EKBE you can find other kind of docuemnts also (not only material document but e.g. invoice receipt also)
