Maximo 7.1 initial data and import sequence

I found this import sequence extremely useful while importing data for a client and it might be useful to you. It’s just a simple guideline for importing data and the suggested entry mode…

    Do you have the tables that need to be populated when importing assets and locations. There appears to be a lot of related tables that need populating. Also the long description in conjunction with the Asset import.

      I don’t. It was a trial an error for me as well.
