Siebel EIM Import Order of Entities

The order in which legacy data is imported is critical to make sure that relationships between dependent data elements are established correctly. Siebel interface tables do not map one-to-one with Siebel target database tables. To make sure that the necessary data is present to establish relationships between data entities, import data in the following recommended order:

1. Administrative
2. Business Unit
3. Positions
4. Accounts
5. Contacts
6. Employees
7. Products
8. Opportunities
9. Personal Accounts
10. Quotes
11. Documents
12. Forecasts
13. Fulfillment
14. Marketing Campaigns
15. CPG Promotion Management
16. CPG Product Movement
17. Service Requests
18. Product Defects
19. Activities and Appointments
20. Notes
21. File Attachments
This import order reflects most import processes. In some cases, the import order may vary slightly depending on the requirements. A sample recommended order of importing could be found in the Siebel provided default ifb file.

NOTE: An example of administrative data would be a List of Values for Currency or Zip Code.
