Hi stimits, Can you contribute the results of your research?
There are data model diagrams at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Data+Model+Diagrams, but AFAIK they don't give chains of foreign key dependencies. Some entities have self-related parent-child relationships, so you need to load parents before children within the data for one entity.
