  Business Object Importer (BOI) is a component of the Enterprise Portal (EP) Platform and Infrastructure (PIN) that enables users to import business objects from external sources into the EP. BOI allows users to create and manage business objects in the EP, such as documents, images, and other data. BOI also provides a way to integrate external data sources into the EP. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use BOI, users must first create a business object in the EP. This can be done by selecting the “Create Business Object” option from the EP menu. Once the business object is created, users can then import data from external sources into the EP using BOI. This can be done by selecting the “Import Business Object” option from the EP menu. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When importing data into the EP using BOI, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary fields are filled out correctly. This will help ensure that all of the data is imported correctly and that no errors occur during the import process. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the data is formatted correctly before importing it into the EP.
