*Look Up Help and the function limitations

Question

Hi Experts,
I have been working on the look up function in my script logic and faced with certain issues. To give you an insight into the requirements, We have a list of products in 'product' dimension  and whose raw material prices are maintained in another application called "Norms".
As there are 10 different and unique norms, the current design is to maintain each product's raw materials as 'properties' of the product dimension. We are now doing a look up at the "Norms" application with 10 look up ids in a single look up statement to multiply raw material prices with production quantities planned.
The script logic is successfully validated ( for testing used only 5 look up ids). However, the end result in the cube is populated only for 3 instances. All the look up ids after 3rd instance is ignored. Is this the look up function limitation in BPC? We are on NW 7.0 SP 06. Please find the logic below.
Kindly suggest if indeed it is look up function limitation or not? Also kindly suggest if there is an alternative way of acheiving this as in our case our look ups are restricted to 10 only.
*LOOKUP Norms
*DIM AAA:PRODUCT="MR1"
*DIM BBB:PRODUCT="MR2"
*DIM CCC:PRODUCT="MR3"
*DIM DDD:PRODUCT="MR4"
*DIM EEE:PRODUCT="MR5"
*DIM TIME="2011.APR"
*DIM CATEGORY="ACTUAL"
*DIM MEASURES="PERIODIC"
*ENDLOOKUP
*WHEN PRODUCT.RAW_MAT1
*IS "MR1"
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%*LOOKUP(AAA), P_ACCT="G4000000")
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
*WHEN PRODUCT.RAW_MAT2
*IS "MR2"
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%*LOOKUP(BBB), P_ACCT="G4000000")
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
*WHEN PRODUCT.RAW_MAT3
*IS "MR3"
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%*LOOKUP(CCC), P_ACCT="G4000000")
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
*WHEN PRODUCT.RAW_MAT4
*IS "MR4"
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%*LOOKUP(DDD), P_ACCT="G4000000")
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
*WHEN PRODUCT.RAW_MAT5
*IS "MR5"
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%*LOOKUP(EEE), P_ACCT="G4000000")
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT

Hi All,
Any help here. I am sure this would be a very common scenario wherein to compute certain accounts, the reference data is stored in a different application.
Here we are trying to calculate raw material cost based on sales quantity budgeted. Each product's rawmaterials are maintained as properties against the product. The code has to look for matching raw material IDs in the look up application and calculate the raw material cost.
The above code is validated. But not seeing the complete results upon execution. Please suggest if there are any errors.
Thanks,
