EIM Error (Siebel 8.1): COND_PROD_VEN_BI column

Question

When we are trying to insert or delete any record in/from S_STORE_COND through its mapped EIM_STORE_COND table, we are getting invalid identifier. In Siebel LOG file we found that Siebel is trying to update one column COND_PROD_VEN_BI in EIM_STORE_COND table which is not present in Siebel Repository and Database. It is also not defined in IFB file.But it is strange that it’s trying to update one field which is not present.
Please help me regarding this.....
In Log Files
Error SBL-EIM-00107: ODBC error S0022:
[DataDirect][ODBC Oracle driver][Oracle]ORA-00904: "COND_PROD_VEN_BI": invalid identifier (native error 904)

If you are using 8.1.1.2 version - then this is an error thats because of a product defect. On installing 8.1.1.2 version, a file called eim45.sql gets updated on the server with reference to this column. When you run the EIM job, this file gets called and since this column is not available in the schema, it fails. As a workaround, you can try using the eim45.sql generated for Siebel version 8.1.1 and replace this on 8.1.1.x versions. Make sure the rest of your functionality works fine with this change - else you will have to consult ACS - or wait for the corrected patch...
For your information, COND_PROD_VEN_BI is a column which is added as part of ACR 480 - shipped with 8.1.1.1 version. See release notes for 8.1.1.x versions as well as for ACR 480.
