SQL Server 2005 Update mechanism problem

Question

Hi Gurus,
      We're faced with one SQL Server 2005 update mechanism problem. Here is my problem:
      According to our requirement, an add_on interface program is designed to execute creation of production order by calling Bapi.
      There are 3 steps in this add_on program:
      Step 1: Create production order
      Step 2: Change the information of production.
      Step 3: Some other
      After the step 1 has finished immediately step 2 is called, Howerver the information which should have inserted into database table couldn't be found from database. (Maybe because the time between two steps is too short to finish inserting)
      In order to ensure the complete of the transaction, before the step 2 executed, the information in step 1 should have inserted into database.
       Is there any solution to solve this problem?
       I guess whether there is any parameter which control the time of writing buffer into database...
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Derek Yang
