Once the packages are linked, you (or the person you are cross selling to) should see "Cross sale packages" when you edit a package. This is the information that will be entered on the incoming/outgoing cross sales admin in Nats.
To set up cross sales in [[NATS], go to the Upsells Admin and click Incoming or Outgoing cross sales from the navigation tabs at the top of the page (depending on whether you are receiving or sending the cross sale).
