Every import follows one pattern: file → staging or interface → validation → import process → application tables. Knowing it means you can debug any import, including ones you have never seen before. Where things get stuck is in the interface tables, with an error code. That is where to look — not the process log, which frequently says the process completed, because from its point of view it did. Then the delivery mechanisms: file-based bulk import, spreadsheet-based entry, REST for real-time, and web services for system-to-system. Volume and frequency decide which one. High volume, one-off, goes to a file. Low volume, real-time, goes to REST. Ongoing and scheduled goes to a file or a service depending on what the source system can offer.
