Record script that includes a loop

If you are recording a script that includes multiple line items for one set of header fields, follow steps 1-6 from the above section to record the script, and then do the following:

1. Type information into the fields that will become the header, and then press Enter.
2. Enter the data for the line item.
3. Click the SAP Create Item or Insert Row button.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 to enter the second line item. This creates a visible pattern that you can find in the Mapper. After you add the loop, you will disable the extra line item's rows in the Mapper.

You will add the loop when you map the fields.
