Chaining

In an integrated system, it's crucial to manage data dependencies efficiently, especially during data import routines. A chain import routine is a structured process where multiple data imports are executed in a specific order, ensuring data consistency and integrity. This sequence is particularly important when dealing with entities that have dependencies on one another.

For example, consider a scenario where you need to import data related to Accounts, Contacts, Orders, and Order lines. The correct sequence would be to start with Accounts, followed by Contacts, then Orders, and finally Order lines. Here's why this order matters.

In the GUMU integration mapping screen, you can select the next import routine to run, as shown below.

Note: This is a feature added so that related object records can be automatically imported once previous object records are imported. This is not a mandatory configuration.
