Overview

What this migration involves

ChartMogul is a subscription analytics platform with a lightweight CRM module, not a full sales CRM. The migration to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is primarily a customer data migration with a significant schema redesign. ChartMogul enforces a two-level customer model: parent Customer records hold tags, custom attributes, and opportunities, while each connected billing source creates child Data Source Customers containing invoices and transactions. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales uses the standard Account-Contact-Opportunity model with no native subscription metrics. We decompose ChartMogul parent records into Dynamics 365 Accounts and Contacts, preserving tags and custom attributes as custom fields, and map opportunities to the Opportunities table. We do not migrate Plans, Subscriptions, Invoices, or MRR Movement records because these are billing analytics constructs with no standard equivalent in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales . We deliver a written inventory of these records for the customer's admin to store in a custom entity or data warehouse if needed. Workflows, sequences, and ChartMogul CRM automations do not migrate; we document them for rebuild in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales or Power Automate.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

ChartMogul

What's pushing teams away

  • The CRM module is lightweight compared to dedicated sales platforms—contacts lack deep activity timelines and deal management is basic, causing teams to outgrow it.
  • Multi-currency handling requires manual configuration and does not auto-detect currency switches mid-customer lifecycle, creating reporting drift for global businesses.
  • ChartMogul's export capabilities are limited to CSV and Google Sheets; teams needing real-time warehouse feeds find the BigQuery/S3 integration too batch-oriented for operational use.
  • Historical data older than your connection date is unavailable unless explicitly imported, and retroactive imports require re-running metric calculations that hit plan limits.

Choosing

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales  logo

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

What's pulling them in

  • Deep Microsoft 365, Teams, and Outlook integration makes Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales a natural fit for Microsoft-first organizations already invested in that ecosystem
  • Sales Enterprise and Premium tiers offer unlimited custom tables and advanced AI-driven forecasting and predictive analytics not available in lower tiers
  • Professional tier pricing at $65 per user per month offers a lower entry cost than Salesforce for SMB teams with straightforward CRM needs
  • Flexible customization options allow businesses to build bespoke apps, tailor forms and views, and integrate with other Dynamics 365 modules
  • Microsoft Copilot AI tools are embedded directly into the sales workflow on Enterprise and Premium, automating routine tasks and providing deal intelligence

Object mapping

How ChartMogul objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a ChartMogul object lands in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales , including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

ChartMogul

Customer (parent record)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account + Contact

1:many
Fully supported

ChartMogul parent Customer records decompose into both an Account and a Contact in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales . The Customer name becomes the Account Name, and a primary Contact record is created with the same name and email. We preserve the ChartMogul customer_id as an external_id field on both Account and Contact for lookup resolution during subsequent imports. Tags migrate to a multi-select picklist or a custom Tags field on Account. Custom attributes migrate as typed custom fields on Account or Contact based on attribute type during schema design.

ChartMogul

Data Source Customer (child record)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Entity or external reference

lossy
Fully supported

Each ChartMogul Data Source Customer (Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly) is a billing-system-specific child record with no direct Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. We create a custom SubscriptionSource entity in Dataverse to hold the data source reference, customer ID in the billing system, and a lookup to the parent Account. If the customer also runs Business Central, we coordinate the Account GUID so that the custom entity can be joined to the Business Central Customer table.

ChartMogul

Opportunity

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

ChartMogul Opportunities map directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunities. The opportunity amount becomes EstimatedRevenue, stage maps to a configured Sales Process stage name, and close date migrates as CloseDate. We create the Sales Process and Record Type in Dynamics before migration so that stage values are whitelisted and probability percentages are set per stage. Owner resolution uses email matching to the Dynamics User table.

ChartMogul

Subscription

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Entity: Subscription

lossy
Fully supported

ChartMogul Subscriptions (plan_id, quantity, billing cycle, status, MRR contribution) have no standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. We create a custom Subscription entity in Dataverse with fields for PlanName, Quantity, BillingCycle, Status, MRR, and a lookup to the parent Account. The entity is deployed via Dataverse API before any subscription data is imported. If the customer also licenses Business Central, we map the custom Subscription entity to the Business Central Subscription table via a Power Automate flow.

ChartMogul

Plan

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Entity: Plan

lossy
Fully supported

ChartMogul Plan definitions (name, interval, amount, currency, trial period) are billing metadata. We create a custom Plan entity in Dataverse to store these records with fields for PlanName, Interval, Amount, Currency, and TrialPeriodDays. This entity is populated during migration and maintained by the customer's admin going forward. If the customer uses Business Central for product and pricing management, Plan records can be reconciled with Business Central Items post-migration.

ChartMogul

Invoice

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Entity: Invoice

lossy
Fully supported

ChartMogul Invoices (line items, amounts, taxes, transaction fees) are billing records without a standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. We create a custom Invoice entity in Dataverse with fields for InvoiceNumber, InvoiceDate, TotalAmount, TaxAmount, Status, and a lookup to the parent Account. Invoice line items store as a related custom InvoiceLine entity. The customer can attach PDF copies of invoices as Notes or SharePoint document library files linked to the Invoice record.

ChartMogul

Transaction

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Entity: Transaction

lossy
Fully supported

ChartMogul Transactions (payments, refunds, chargebacks) are mapped to a custom Transaction entity in Dataverse with Type, Amount, Date, PaymentMethod, and a lookup to the parent Invoice record. Transaction fee handling from ChartMogul's billing source configuration (particularly for Google Play and PayPal) is preserved as a custom FeeAmount field so that the net revenue calculation can be reconstructed if needed.

ChartMogul

Tag

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Multi-select Picklist on Account

1:1
Fully supported

ChartMogul tags on parent Customer records migrate to a multi-select picklist field on the Account. The picklist values are populated from the distinct set of tags in the source data during scoping. If the tag cardinality exceeds the Dynamics multi-select picklist limit of 500 values, we create a custom Tags entity with a many-to-many relationship to Account instead.

ChartMogul

Custom Attribute

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Field on Account or Contact

lossy
Fully supported

ChartMogul customer-level custom attributes are key-value pairs set via API or CRM sync. We map each attribute to a typed custom field on the Account or Contact entity based on data type: string attributes become text fields, numeric attributes become decimal or integer fields, boolean attributes become checkbox fields, and date attributes become date fields. We validate field types during schema design and create the custom fields in Dataverse before migration.

ChartMogul

Task

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task

1:1
Fully supported

ChartMogul Tasks on Customer records migrate to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Tasks with Subject, Description, Status, Priority, and DueDate preserved. Task assignment resolves ChartMogul owner_id to Dynamics User ID via email matching. Open tasks migrate; completed tasks with no future action are optionally omitted to reduce import volume.

ChartMogul

Note and Call Log

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Note

1:1
Fully supported

ChartMogul Notes and Call Logs are unstructured text on Customer records. We import them as Dynamics 365 Notes linked via the Regarding field to the corresponding Account. Call-specific fields (call disposition, duration) migrate to custom Note extension fields if present in ChartMogul.

ChartMogul

Owner

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

User

1:1
Fully supported

ChartMogul Owners (user records tied to customers, opportunities, and tasks) map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales User records. We resolve owners by email match. Any ChartMogul Owner without a matching Dynamics User is placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.

Pair-specific challenges

  • ChartMogul's two-level customer model decomposes into Account and Contact

    ChartMogul enforces a parent-child split: the Customer record holds tags, attributes, notes, and opportunities, while each billing source creates its own child Data Source Customer record with invoices and transactions. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales has no concept of a child Data Source Customer. We decompose the parent Customer into an Account record with a primary Contact, and we store billing source references in a custom SubscriptionSource entity. Migrations that attempt to create a single Contact record lose the multi-source billing context and the MRR attribution that depends on knowing which billing system owns each subscription.

  • Subscription billing data requires custom Dataverse entity design

    ChartMogul's Plans, Subscriptions, Invoices, and Transactions are billing analytics constructs with no standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a CRM, not a subscription management platform. We create custom Dataverse entities for Subscription, Plan, Invoice, and Transaction during schema design. If the customer also runs Business Central, the custom entities can be designed to mirror the Business Central schema so that Power Automate can synchronize the data. If custom entity design is skipped, subscription billing data is lost during migration.

  • MRR Movements and cohort data cannot migrate as structured records

    ChartMogul's MRR Movements (new business, expansion, contraction, churn) and cohort retention tables are computed metrics derived from subscription state changes. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales has no equivalent analytical objects. We do not migrate MRR Movements or cohort data as structured records. We provide a written inventory of MRR Movement types and cohort boundaries for the customer to store in a Power BI dataset or data warehouse post-migration. The underlying subscription data (via the custom Subscription entity) reconstructs MRR movements if needed.

  • ChartMogul CRM workflows do not migrate to Power Automate

    ChartMogul CRM includes basic task automation and workflow triggers that are distinct from its billing analytics workflows. These CRM automations (task creation rules, notification triggers, opportunity stage actions) have no direct Power Automate equivalent because they operate on a different data model. We deliver a written inventory of every active ChartMogul CRM automation with its trigger, conditions, and actions, plus a recommended Power Automate implementation approach. The customer's admin or a Microsoft partner rebuilds them post-migration. Billing analytics automations in ChartMogul are out of scope entirely.

  • Multi-currency migration requires exchange rate table preparation

    ChartMogul stores subscription amounts in the subscription currency with manual multi-currency configuration. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales handles multi-currency through exchange rate tables linked to the currency field on each transaction record. Before migrating subscription data with non-base-currency amounts, we configure the Dynamics 365 exchange rate table with historical rates for each currency present in ChartMogul. If exchange rates are not configured, currency amounts import with the default rate and produce incorrect revenue totals in Dynamics reports.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful ChartMogul to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales data migration

  1. Discovery and custom entity scoping

    We audit the ChartMogul account for customer count, data source count (Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, etc.), subscription volume, invoice count, opportunity count, engagement volume, and custom attribute definitions. We identify which ChartMogul CRM features are in active use versus billing analytics features. We pair this with a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales edition review: Sales Professional ($65/user/month) covers most migrations; Sales Enterprise ($105/user/month) is needed if the customer requires record-triggered Power Automate flows or advanced territory management. The discovery output is a written migration scope specifying which objects migrate to standard entities, which require custom Dataverse entities, and which are documented for manual rebuild or data warehouse storage.

  2. Custom Dataverse entity design and schema deployment

    We design the custom schema in Dataverse for Subscription, Plan, Invoice, Transaction, and SubscriptionSource entities. Each custom entity includes the relevant fields from ChartMogul's data model, typed correctly for Dynamics 365 (string, decimal, integer, date, lookup). We also design the field mappings for ChartMogul custom attributes to Account and Contact custom fields. Schema is deployed to a Dynamics 365 Sandbox via the Dataverse Web API before any data migration begins. The customer's Dynamics admin reviews and approves the schema design.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into Dynamics 365 Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's team reconciles record counts (Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Tasks, custom entity records) against ChartMogul source reports, spot-checks 25-50 records for field-level accuracy, and validates custom entity relationships (Subscription to Account, Invoice to Account). Any mapping corrections happen in sandbox before production migration begins.

  4. Owner reconciliation and User provisioning

    We extract every distinct ChartMogul Owner referenced on Customer, Opportunity, and Task records and match by email against the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales User table. Unmatched owners go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's admin provisions any missing Users in Dynamics 365 before migration proceeds. Owner resolution is a blocking step because OwnerId references are required on Opportunity and Task records.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from ChartMogul parent Customers), Contacts (with AccountId resolved from Account import), Users (validated), custom entity schema (Plans first, then Subscriptions, then Invoices, then Transactions), Opportunities (with AccountId and OwnerId resolved), Tasks and Notes (via Dynamics 365 bulk API with parent-record lookup resolution). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Billing data (Subscriptions, Invoices, Transactions) imports last because it has no internal dependencies.

  6. Cutover, validation, and inventory handoff

    We freeze ChartMogul writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as the system of record. We deliver the MRR Movements inventory, cohort data inventory, and CRM automation inventory documents to the customer's admin team. We do not rebuild ChartMogul automations as Power Automate flows inside the migration scope. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 15,000 Customer records, up to 50,000 subscriptions, and no complex multi-currency configuration. Migrations requiring custom Dataverse entity design for Plans, Subscriptions, Invoices, and Transactions, large engagement histories (over 200,000 records), or Business Central co-deployment move to eight to twelve weeks because of schema design time, bulk API load, and validation testing. The data migration phase itself typically takes one to three weeks depending on volume.
