You have two Custom Data Types (CDT): ACME_invoice and ACME_invoiceItem that have a flat relationship.

The invoice item table has a field that is a foreign key to the invoice table. You are leveraging the database to automatically generate their primary keys.

How should you structure the process model to add a new invoice and the new invoice items to the system?

A1. Write to Multiple Data Store Entities smart service (Writing to the ACME_invoiceItem table and ACME_invoice table).

B1. Write to Data Store Entity smart service (Writing to the ACME_invoiceItem table).
2. Script Task to update foreign keys.
3. Write to Data Store Entity smart service (Writing to the ACME_invoice table).

2. Script Task to update foreign keys.
3. Write to Data Store Entity smart service (Writing to the ACME_invoiceItem table).

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

When dealing with related data types where one has a foreign key to another, you must first create the record in the primary table (ACME_invoice) and then use the generated primary key to create related records in the secondary table (ACME_invoiceItem). This is why you first write to the ACME_invoice table, then update the foreign keys in a Script Task, and finally write to the ACME_invoiceItem table.

Option A seems like the most straightforward approach. Why add unnecessary complexity with extra steps?
