Association strings
Before you can create an upload with associations, confirm the existence of association strings that are to be used in an Associative Upload with Data Integrator. Two methods of confirming association strings are by reviewing Associations tabs on records and through the Association Manager.
Every business object has several associations that are defined with other business objects. It is important to understand the relationship verb phrase that is defined to associate two business objects. If necessary, define the association and the reverse association in the Association Manager first.
