Hi discovered the problem.....I was not passing in a list properly to the insert call (creating a list object and passing the list to the insert call).

 

Code below works.....

 

    for (PG_Metric__c[] pgMetricArray: [Select p.Total_Fees__c, p.Standard_Non_Standard__c, p.Rationale_for_Request__c, p.Probability_of_Payout__c, p.Penalty_Type__c,

                                            p.HEDIS_Site_Quantity__c, p.Current_YTD_PG_Result__c, p.Current_PG_Metric_Level__c, p.Business_Owner__c, p.At_Risk__c,

                                                metricList.add(new PG_Metric__c( Total_Fees__c=aPgMetric.Total_Fees__c, Standard_Non_Standard__c=aPgMetric.Standard_Non_Standard__c, Rationale_for_Request__c=aPgMetric.Rationale_for_Request__c,

When making an INSERT DML statement in Apex, the Id property can not be set on the object.

Shruti Sharan GShruti Sharan G
Many Many thanks for the reply but I am not speciying ID in DML Insert , may be it is saving twise hence it is Taking ID, Nowhere i have specified Id for new to be inserted record.
Not able to figure out actual cause.
Actually i am inserting rows in a child object for each parent object record in a list.

perhaps you could post your code, so we don't have to guess at what you're doing.

I am having a similar issue....Except error is

INVALID_FIELD_FOR_INSERT_UPDATE, cannot specify Id in an insert call:[ Id]

Code is pasted below. Code fails on the insert pgMetricArray; call. I don't think I am specifying an ID here. I need it to insert and generate a new PG_Metric__c record. Any advice is appreciated.

 

Thanks
