so we have a current onprem that take a SO# and type and get the detail from ERP system

the question is if I use a data lookup, how to hold multiple SO#/Type and then to put the detail to a repeating section.   I know a little bit about xtensions, but not sure if the forms itself can do it.

Hi ​@RC1101,

Please clarify the environment and Nintex products being used.
You mentioned on-premise. Are you using Nintex on-premise, or are you using Nintex workflow cloud (the forum section you have posted in) via gateway to on-premise?  You mentioned a repeating section, which is the Forms product, and you also mentioned Xtensions, which is primarily for workflow but can be used as a data source for a form.

Please provide a bit more information about the solution you are trying to build, and users on the forum may be able to assist more.

Hi ​@RC1101,

Thank you for the clarification.
In this case, you will need to create an Xtension that connects to SAP.
The Xtension can be used to create a connection and then be used as a data source.
If the data is in JSON format, it can be fed straight into the default value field of a repeating section control.

Connection dependencies:
You can install Nintex Gateway in the on-premise environment and configure your Xtenstion to use the gateway. https://help.nintex.com/en-US/xtensions/03_Advanced/06_OnPremises/PRC_04Gateway.htm?tocpath=Connect%20and%20authenticate%7C_____8


An alternative would be to use SAP’s gateway to connect from SAP cloud to on-premises.
