Raise_application_error and Write to Log

Question

Hi Gurus,
I have scenario where I want to raise_application_error and also write that information to a log table. I am inserting into the log table first then raising the application error. The problem is that it never appears to write to the log unless I remove the raise_application_error. I am probably handling the process incorreclty, but I am not sure what I should do to get it to work.
Any info would be greatly appreciated
DB Version: 10g
Note: This is handling exceptions that I encounter in a FORALL. I am using SAVE EXCEPTION.
Example:
EXCEPTION
WHEN update_inventory_error THEN Call custom Exception Handler
errors := SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS.COUNT; Count all of the Errors in the Bulk Collect
FOR i IN 1..errors LOOP
vErr := SQLERRM(-SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS(i).ERROR_CODE);
vDescrip:= 'Error #' || i || ' occurred during '|| 'ProductID: ' || l_amazon_sku(i) || ' iteration #' || SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS(i).ERROR_INDEX;
Insert Into Feeds.FeedLog(ID,Feed,ErrorMessage,Description,ErrorDate)
Values(
Feeds.FeedLog_seq.nextval ID
,'Generate Inventory' FEED
,vErr ErrorMessage
,vDescrip Description
,SYSDATE);
END LOOP;
raise_application_error(-20101,'Generate Inventory Failed FORALL ISSUE');

Thanks Tubby. I will look at Autonomous transactions and see what I can dig up. I will pull up my full Sproc and post it so folks can see what I am doing.
