When performing partial migrations it is important to be aware that some data is dependent on others. For example, while it is possible to migrate a Product this data will not be complete unless the brands, categories, variations etc have been migrated. If data integrity is important then rather use the complete migration option instead.
I list of known data migration issues can be found here.
