Publish the foundation data sync (FDS) subscription to complete the foundation data sync after the provider configures and accepts the subscription.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin (sb_admin)

## About this task

If the Auto publish FDS subscriptions option is not selected in your offering definition, you must manually publish each subscription after the provider accepts the subscriptions.

Publishing the subscription activates the data synchronization process and begins sending data to the provider according to the defined cadence.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllService Exchange ConsumerOpen RecordsFDS Request.
2. Open the FDS request by selecting the record number in the Number column.
3. In the Foundation Data Consumer Outbound Subscriptions related list, open the foundation data subscription by selecting the record number in the Number column.  
   Each subscription represents a specific table or data set that the provider has requested.
4. Select Publish.  
   You must publish each subscription that is accepted by your provider to activate the subscription and begin data synchronization.  
   The subscription state changes to Published.
