File Sets 
To enable data in files to be uploaded, you must configure file sets and files in Customizing.
A file set groups together all the files that belong to a data delivery.
You specify the files that belong to the file set and to which data delivery agreement the file set belongs.
For each data delivery agreement, you can specify the logical folders in which the folder scanner searches for any new files. If you do not specify a logical folder, the standard folder that is specified in Customizing is used.
You can specify which files are mandatory and which are optional in a data delivery.
You assign a specific process step to each file in the file set to define how the system should process the file during the upload.
You can use the file name pattern to associate a file in the inbound directory to the one that is defined in Customizing.

In this example, the files that contain product and location master data are optional in data deliveries. The files that contain POS transaction data and stock data are mandatory.
This mean that the delivery needs to contain at minimum all the mandatory files that are to be uploaded to PSA. If optional files are missing, the delivery is uploaded.
