• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS583 - Loop mode does not allow to define a loop table ?

  The SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS583 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a loop table in the context of the SAP Fiori Data Transformation (FDT) framework. Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to define a loop table while the loop mode is set in a way that does not permit it.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Loop Mode Configuration: The loop mode is set to a value that does not allow for the definition of a loop table. This can happen if the loop mode is set to a single iteration or a mode that does not support multiple entries.
  Misconfiguration in Data Transformation: There may be a misconfiguration in the data transformation settings where the system expects a different structure or configuration for the loop table.
  Incompatibility with Data Source: The data source being used may not support the loop table configuration you are trying to implement.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Loop Mode Settings:
  
  Review the loop mode settings in your data transformation configuration. Ensure that it is set to a mode that allows for the definition of a loop table (e.g., "Multiple Entries" or "Loop").
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Transformation Configuration:
  
  If you are using a specific data transformation, check the configuration for any inconsistencies. Make sure that the structure of the data being processed aligns with the expected input for the loop table.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Consult the SAP documentation for the FDT framework to understand the requirements and limitations of loop tables and loop modes. This can provide insights into how to properly configure your transformation.
  
  
  
  Test with Sample Data:
  
  If possible, test the configuration with a smaller set of sample data to see if the error persists. This can help isolate the issue.
  
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support:
