• Key Concepts: 
  A loop in SAP Project System (PS) is a type of network that is used to represent a repetitive process. It consists of a single activity that is connected to itself, forming a continuous loop. This type of network is used to represent processes that are repeated multiple times, such as production cycles or maintenance tasks. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to create a loop in SAP PS, the user must first create an activity and then connect it to itself. This can be done by selecting the activity and then clicking on the “Connect” button in the toolbar. The user can then select the “Loop” option from the drop-down menu and click “OK” to complete the connection. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a loop in SAP PS, it is important to remember that the activity must be connected to itself and not to any other activities. Additionally, loops can be used in conjunction with other types of networks, such as parallel or sequential networks, in order to create more complex processes.
