Hi

It is causing due to context only. Move to a higher level.

Also you can try index if it solves your purpose as

from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/c4cdfc334824478090739c04c4a249/frameset.htm

counter

O = Number of calls for this target-field mapping where you specify the initial value and the increment of the counter in the function properties.

index

R = Index i of Xi. In the function properties, you specify the following: the initial value of i, the increment, and whether the index value is to be reinitialized at the beginning of every new context, or whether it is to have the same value for the entire source structure.

Hi Maridu,

Change the context of your source field (put a higher segment) befour "Count", and you will be able to manage properly your PalletLineNumber, because the Count is reinitialised when you change of context, which is your case with your Idoc segment

regards.
