                  Interaction statistics data can be used by both BW and IC WFM. You canupload the statistics data to either application or both applications.If you have both BW and IC WFM, we recommend uploading the data at thesame time, for performance reasons.
                  If your mySAP CRM system is not currently connected to BW or IC WFM,that option appears deactivated. To activate the option, connect thecorresponding system to mySAP CRM.
