# Use List as an Input/Output for Decision Artifact in SAP Build Process Automation
 
<!-- description --> Use a list as an input to your decision artifact, process the data and extract the details to a table in a form

## Prerequisites
  - Either complete the tutorial [Create Tables in the Form](spa-forms-table) **OR**
  - Retrieve the sample project **Sales Order Management (MI05)** from the store
  - Setup the desktop agent to run automation as explained in [this tutorial](spa-run-agent-settings).
  - Download the [Orders.xlsx](https://github.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/blob/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/Orders.xlsx) in your local machine. 

## You will learn
  - How to use a list as an input/output to your decision.
  - How to use reusable text rules. 
  - How to bind list in decision to table in form.

## Intro

In this tutorial, you will automate the process where the sales executive is notified about the erroneous or error-free orders through a task in the inbox of SAP Build Process Automation.

The process is designed to have the following artifacts:

- A form where the sales executive would provide the path of sales order excel maintained in his system.
- Automation to read the sales order details.
- Decision artifact to process the details of a list of orders extracted from excel. Based on the rules created in the decision, it would determine whether the order details are error-prone or error-free.
- Notification form to the sales executive which displays the erroneous or error-free sales orders in a table format.

The process looks as below:

    - In `OrderNumber` enter : Order Input.orderNumber 
    - In `ErrorDescription` enter : 'Order status is not set'   
    - In `ErrorCode` enter : 'ERR04'
    - **Save** your rule and click on **Back Button**.

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/45.png)

19. Similarly for the final text rule, you will verify if the order has no errors. In the **Duplicate Rule** window: 

    - In the Rule Name enter **No Error Test**
    - In the Rule Description enter **test if the order has no errors**
    - Choose **OK** button

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/46.png) 

20. Click on the newly created **Text Rule**, change values to condition and result columns:

    - in the If condition: Order Input.expectedDeliveryDate >= TODAY( ) AND Order Input.orderAmount < 1000000 AND Order Input.shippingCountry EXISTSIN [ 'India' , 'United Kingdom' ] AND Order Input.orderStatus != '' 
    - In `OrderNumber` enter : Order Input.orderNumber 
    - In `ErrorDescription` enter : 'No Error'   
    - **Save** your rule and click on **Back Button**.

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/49.png)

### Configure main rule of decision

    Now, you will create a rule that will execute and utilize all the reusable text rules you created before in a loop for each order. The results will be sent to an error table stored in the previously created variable.

1. Go back to **Rules** and click on **Add Rule**.

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/50-1.png)

    - In the Rule Type select **Text Rule**
    - In the Rule Name enter **Main Rule**
    - In the Rule Description enter **A rule that executes all error-testing rules in a loop for each order**
    - Choose **Next Step** button

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/50.png)

3. In the **Configure Results** step, under **Result Vocabulary** choose `No Result` and click on **Next Step** button.

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/51.png)

4. Review and choose **Create** button to create the rule.

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/53.png)

5. In the newly created **Text Rule**, in the **If** statement, assign `true` to represent the absence of any specific condition.

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/54.png)

6. In the **Then** statement, press **Ctrl+Space** on your keyboard and select **Loop Functions**.

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/55.png)

7. A window for configuring loop functions opens. Configure the function as follows: 

    - In the Vocabulary select `Order_List_Input`.
    - In the Current Item select **Order Input**. 
    - In the Expression statement enter: APPEND (Order Error List, Date Error test)

8. Click on **Apply**.

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/56.png) 

    > With this function, you iterate through each element, which represents each order, and perform the delivery date test. Then, it appends the test output to the **Order Error List**.  So, the objective is to repeat the same process for each reusable text error rule that you have previously created and gradually add the collected errors for each order to the **Order Error List**.

9. Click on the **Then** expression.

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/57.png)
    
10. In the **Configure Loop Functions** window, select **+** to add a new expression box and enter : APPEND (Order Error List, Order Amount Error Error test)

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/57a.png)

11. Similarly, add three more expression box and enter the following in each box: 

    - First box: APPEND (Order Error List, Shipping Country Error Test)
    - Second box: APPEND (Order Error List, Order Status Error Test)
    - Third box: APPEND (Order Error List, No Error Test)
    - Choose **Apply** button.

    ![decision](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/spa-add-list-input-decision/58.png)

    > So, here you will iterate through all the reusable text error rules that you have created earlier, one by one, for each order. The result obtained from each rule, whether there is an error or not, will be added to the **Order Error List** without overwriting the previous results. That is why you have used an intermediate variable.

12. **Save** your work. 
    
13. Navigate back.
