file pertaining to an entity type (also called as upload type) from IBM® Sterling
Business Center.
About this task

and click Master Data Upload.
The
Master Data Uploader screen is displayed.
- In the Upload Details panel, select
the radio button corresponding to the entity type whose master data
you want to upload, and click Proceed. For
