XML input: Node

Question

hi experts.
          I can't create an XML input file for my custom BO with node items.
          When I export the XML file from the schema, a warning pops up showing that it is not exportable.
          Is it because of the schema that I created from Service Integration?
Regards,

Hello Fred and thank you very much for your help!
That is exactly what I did.
Here is the code of my staging Expense report, the dummy BO:
import AP.Common.GDT as apCommonGDT;
import AP.ExpenseReimbursementManagement.Global as ERM;
businessobject StagingExpenseReport {
        element MyInputrow: ID;
        element MyExpenseReportID: ExpenseReportID;
        element MyEmployeeID: EmployeeID;
        element MyExpenseReportTypeCode: ExpenseReportTypeCode;
        element MyPeriod: UPPEROPEN_LOCAL_DateTimePeriod;
        element MyDescription: LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_EXTENDED_Text;
        element MyReferenceExpenseReportReceiptID: ID;
        element MyReceiptTypeCode: ExpenseReportExpenseTypeCode;
        element MyReceiptCategoryCode: ExpenseReportExpenseCategoryCode;
        element MyAmount: Amount;
        element MyPaymentAmount: Amount;
        element MyNetAmount: Amount;
        element MyReceiptDate: Date;
        element SameExpenseReport: Indicator;
But with this BO structure you can only create one Item/Receipt in each Staging Expense report. [1-1] relationship as everything is in the Root node.
So for example, in order to get a standard expense report with 2 receipts, I would need to create two instances of my Staging/dummy BO from the XML, each with one receipt. And using the ABSL to find which dummy BO goes to which Expense Report.
Am I mistaking or I understood well?
Because the thing is we cannot XML upload a child node in a custom BO neither if I got it right.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Best regards.
