SAP BPC 5.1 Script Logic Issue

Question

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with Inventory Days script logic at the moment. Basically what the logic should do is:
1. Copy the required data across to a calculation category (SQL)
2. Calculate the last 12 months Cost of Sales for every entity in the selection for 3 years (MDX)
3. Use the Cost of Sales number and multiply it with the inventory days number (SQL)
The calc works fine for some of my smaller brands (200 - 500 entities),  but when i run the logic for my big brand (2000 entities) the last step doesn't calculate correctly. I have done the following to try and fix the problem.
1. Every step has it's own COMMIT
2. I clear the data before writing anything
3. I use XDIM_MAXMEMBERS Entity = 500
Any ideas why the logic is acting like this? I don't know if I am allowed to post my code here, but if it will help i will

Hi,
I only sent you the step that is giving me a problem at the moment. I broke the logic up into different packages to check where the problem lies and narrowed it down to this one.
It seems like the code didn't copy across correctly, it is supposed to be when EXTRAP.BRAND "<>" "". I'll just paste the code again, just so that we are all on the same page.
Regarding the FAC2, the client was running the code a lot of times and the WB table was getting huge. So, i started posting the records to the FAC2 table and processing it in the SSIS package. And i did confirm that they are posting there.
I just tried to run the script for half of the entities and it didn't work. I then tried to run is for 25 entities and it worked. Could the *XDIM_MaxMembers Entity =  50 be giving me the problem? This is all i get over and over in the formula log:
RPTCURRENCY,ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,DATASRC,ENTITY,INTCO,TIME,SIGNEDDATA
LC,80500,BUDGET,INPUT,P71559,NON_INTERCO,2010.AUG, 0
The other thing that bugs me is that i have similar script that never gives me issues for the same client.
