Creating InfoPackages

Use

After matching your customer and business partner data to the D-U-N-S number D&B returns a CD with several files on it. To upload the D&B files into the corresponding InfoObjects, several InfoPackages are required. With InfoPackages you can control which data is uploaded and you can schedule the upload process. InfoPackages also contain information about the data structure of the files that you want to upload.

To prepare the upload process you create new InfoPackages.
