titleI have associated the wrong SKU with the MFPN. What should I do?

You need to remove the line with the wrong SKU/MFPN combination from your data file. Upload your modified data file. Re-uploading the file makes the wrong SKU/MFPN combination obsolete.

Next step is to add the correct SKU/MFPN combination to your data file and upload the document.
