  2. Click Create Loop.

    If Create Loop is not available, click the Expert View tab.

  3. In the Loop box, confirm that the correct rows are displayed in the Repeat script rows boxes.
  4. Confirm or change the other properties:
    • Loop identifier column: Click the arrow, check the Show unmapped columns box, click the column that you want, and then click Go. Use a column that is not already mapped to a field in the Mapper.
    • Text to identify transaction header: Type the column letter that specifies the header data for the script recording (the default is H).
    • Text to identify repeating Line Items: Type the column letter that specifies the detail line item data for the script recording (the default is D).
  5. Click OK.

    The Mapper displays a Loop While... End Loop bracket around the fields.

  6. Click the Run tab.

    If you want to include the data you recorded, move the line item data to a separate row and follow the instructions below.

  7. Enter the header data on one row, and then type the Transaction Header identifier (for example, H) in the Loop ID column.
  8. On a new row, enter the data for the first line item, and then type the Line Item identifier (for example, D) in the Loop ID column. Repeat for the remaining line items that you want to upload.
