Lookup on values (parent member) of other model

Question

Hi everybody,
I have to get a value from one model within my application to save it in another model.
I tried to use the Lookup functionility of BPC but this doesn't work. I'm allways getting Zeros when I run the script.
Here is the code I used:
*LOOKUP MODELA
*DIM DATASRC = DS.TOTAL //Parent member
*DIM COMPANY = CO.2000 //Basemember
*DIM CURRENCY = USD //Basemember
*DIM MAC: A_ACCOUNT = A.N001  //Parent member
*ENDLOOKUP
*LOOKUP MODELB
*DIM MBC: COMPANY = CO.2000 //Basemember
*DIM MBC: CURRENCY = USD //Basemember
*DIM MBC: DATASRC = DS.TOTAL //Parent member
*DIM MBC: B_ACCOUNT = B.N001 //Parent member
*DIM MBC: RANK = RA.N001 //Parent member
*DIM MBC: NATIONALITY = NA.N001 //Parent member
*ENDLOOKUP
*SELECT(%CPTLF%,ID,CATEGORY,RUN_LOGIC = Y AND CALC = N)
*SELECT(%CPTPC%,ID,PROFIT_CENTRE,CALC = N)
*SELECT(%CPTFC%,ID,TIME,ACT_FOR = F AND LEVEL = MONTH AND CALC = N)
*XDIM_MEMBERSET A_ACCOUNT = A.1M406 //Specific Account
*XDIM_MEMBERSET PROFIT_CENTRE = %CPTPC%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY = %CPTLF%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = %CPTFC%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET COMPANY = CO.NA
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CURRENCY = USD
*XDIM_MEMBERSET DATASRC = CALC
*WHEN A_ACCOUNT
*IS A.1M406
*BEGIN
*REC(FACTOR = -(LOOKUP(MAC)+LOOKUP(MBC)),
DATASRC = CALC,A_ACCOUNT = A.10002,COMPANY = CO.2000)
*END
*ENDWHEN
When I run this script out of Model A everything seems to be working. But the Problem is that the lookup values for Model B are allways Zero. The strange thing is that this code worked last year correctly. This year the script doesn't calculates correctly. The difference is that we did a patch Level upgrade.

Hi Derk,
Now it's clear!
First of all - you script is executed in OPERATIONS - then first LOOKUP is better to replace with tuples! Like:
*LOOKUP MANNING
*DIM CPT: COMPANY = CO.2700
*DIM CPT: CURRENCY = USD
*DIM CPT: DATASRC = DS.TOTAL
*DIM CPT: MA_ACCOUNT = MA.N001
*DIM CPT: RANK = RA.N001
*DIM CPT: NATIONALITY = NA.N001
*ENDLOOKUP
*SELECT(%CPTLF%,ID,CATEGORY,RUN_LOGIC = Y AND CALC = N)
*SELECT(%CPTPC%,ID,PROFIT_CENTRE,CALC = N)
*SELECT(%CPTFC%,ID,TIME,ACT_FOR = F AND LEVEL = MONTH AND CALC = N)
*XDIM_MEMBERSET OP_ACCOUNT = OP.1M406 //Cost Pass Thru Income Type
*XDIM_MEMBERSET PROFIT_CENTRE = %CPTPC%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY = %CPTLF%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = %CPTFC%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET COMPANY = CO.NA
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CURRENCY = USD
*XDIM_MEMBERSET DATASRC = CALC
*WHEN OP_ACCOUNT
*IS *    //already scoped to OP.1M406
*REC(FACTOR = -(([OP_ACCOUNT].[OP.N006],[COMPANY].[CO.2700],[DATASRC].[DS.TOTAL])+([OP_ACCOUNT].[OP.N011],[COMPANY].[CO.2700],[DATASRC].[DS.TOTAL])+([OP_ACCOUNT].[OP.N014],[COMPANY].[CO.2700],[DATASRC].[DS.TOTAL])+([OP_ACCOUNT].[OP.N034],[COMPANY].[CO.2700],[DATASRC].[DS.TOTAL])+([OP_ACCOUNT].[OP.N035],[COMPANY].[CO.2700],[DATASRC].[DS.TOTAL])+LOOKUP(CPT)),DATASRC = CALC,OP_ACCOUNT = OP.10002,COMPANY = CO.2700)
*ENDWHEN
Also it's necessary to understand which values can be missing in the cube... then different logic may be required!
