• Key Concepts: 
  A loop is a type of transformation in SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool (IDT) that allows you to create a relationship between two tables. It is used to join two tables together, allowing you to access data from both tables in one query. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a loop, you must first create a relationship between the two tables. This can be done by dragging and dropping the fields from one table onto the other. Once the relationship is established, you can then create a loop by right-clicking on the relationship line and selecting “Create Loop”. This will create a loop between the two tables, allowing you to access data from both tables in one query. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a loop, it is important to ensure that the fields used to create the relationship are of the same data type. If they are not, then the loop will not be created correctly and will not work properly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the fields used to create the relationship are unique in each table. If they are not, then the loop will not be created correctly and will not work properly.
