Problem when loading from ODS to the CUBE

Question

Hi Experts,
I am facing an unusual problem when loading data from ODS to the cube.
I have a first level ODS where the delta postings are updated. I have checked the active table of the ODS and the data is accurate.
I have deleted the entire data from the Cube and trying to do a full load from ODS to the CUBE.
I am sure when I run a full load the data goes from Active table of the ODS.
After the full load the the keyfigure values are 0. I have tried doing the testing by loading couple of sales documents and still the keyfigure values are 0.
I wonder when I load the full. The data should be picked exactly the way it is in active table of the ODS.
I also dont have any fancy routines in the update rules.
Please help me in this regard.
Regards
Raghu

o     First select info objects option and create info area then create info object catalog then char, & key figure. Then create ‘id’ in Char, Name as attribute activate it then in key figures create no and activate it.
o     In info sources create application component then create info source with direct update for master data and flexible update for transaction data. The flat files would be created for master data create info package and execute it.
o     For transaction data go to info provider then select the file right click on it then select option create ODS object. Then a new screen opens give the name of the ODS and create other screen opens then drag character to key fields.
o     Activate it then update rules it will give error to it then go to communication structure and give 0Record mode then activate it then go to update rules it will activate it.
o     Then go to info source then create info package then external data then processing update, Data targets then the scheduling then click start then the monitor.
o     Then other screen opens there we can see if we doesn’t able to see the records then come back to the info provider right click on it then other screen opens then select the option activate data in ODS then a screen opens.
