Hi Rajan,
infobject 0RECORDMODE is needed for the delta load and is added by the system if a DataSource is delta-capable.
In the ODS object the field is generated during the creation process.
If in your datasource (it's a master data datasource!) there is no 0STORNO (and, consequently, no ROCANCEL field), let 0RECORDMODE not mapped and, in your update rules, always use 'overwrite' as update method !
To call up documentation on 0RECORDMODE (BW Delta process: Update mode), call Transaction SE11, display data type RODMUPDMOD -> Pushbutton Documentation.
Here you will find more useful information on the five possible features for InfoObject 0RECORDMODE (space,X,A,D,R).
Hope it helps (and please don't forget to assign some points by clickin'on the yellow star to the contributors that help you !!!).
Bye,
