Overview
Contractor+ stores contractor-specific data (clients, jobs, schedules, estimates, invoices, material costs) in a flat object model optimized for field-service workflows. Dynamics 365 Sales uses the Microsoft Dataverse platform with a normalized schema: Accounts and Contacts for customer data, Leads and Opportunities for pipeline management, and Quotes/Orders/Invoices for deal-to-cash flows. The migration carries everything Contractor+ stores natively — client profiles, job records, estimates, invoices, line items, and custom fields — into the corresponding Dynamics 365 entities. Workflows, automation rules, and schedule configurations cannot migrate and must be rebuilt in Dynamics 365 using Power Automate or the sales accelerator tools. We extract data via Contractor+ API, transform field names and data types to match Dataverse column conventions, and load through Dynamics 365 Web API or Bulk API depending on volume. A delta-pickup window captures in-flight changes during cutover so Salesforce reflects your final Contractor+ state at go-live. The transformation also aligns date formats, enumerations, and multi-select picklists, preserving original timestamps and owner assignments for reporting continuity and compliance.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Contractor+ 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.
Contractor+
Client
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Contractor+ clients map to Dynamics 365 Accounts. Client name becomes Account Name; address fields map to Address composite. Clients without a company name (sole proprietors) land as Contacts under a generic Account. We preserve the original Contractor+ client ID as Source_System_ID__c for delta-run deduplication.
Contractor+
Client Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Primary contact persons on Contractor+ clients migrate as Dynamics 365 Contacts linked to the parent Account via AccountId lookup. Email, phone, mobile, and job title map directly. Secondary contacts require Account Contact Relationship records since Dynamics 365 supports only one primary contact per account.
Contractor+
Job / Project
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Contractor+ jobs map to Dynamics 365 Opportunities. Job name becomes Opportunity Name; estimated value maps to EstimatedRevenue. Job status (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed) maps to Opportunity StageName via value mapping. Open jobs map to active stages; completed jobs map to Closed Won or Closed Lost based on status.
Contractor+
Job Phase / Task
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:manyMulti-phase jobs in Contractor+ (demolition, rough-in, finish) require a decision: collapse into one Opportunity with a custom Phases__c field, or split into child Opportunities using the parent Opportunity as the primary. Your team chooses the approach — we surface this during the mapping plan review before migration runs.
Contractor+
Estimate
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Quote
1:1Contractor+ estimates migrate as Dynamics 365 Quotes linked to the parent Opportunity. Line items from the estimate map to QuotedProduct records with unit price and quantity. Status from Contractor+ (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Declined) maps to Quote Status with value mapping. Accepted estimates that have converted to jobs also generate a corresponding Opportunity.
Contractor+
Invoice
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Invoice
1:1Contractor+ invoices map to Dynamics 365 Invoice records. Invoice number becomes Invoice Number; total amount maps to TotalAmount. Line items map to Invoice Products. Paid invoices retain their paid status; unpaid invoices surface in Dynamics 365 as open invoices. Accounting flows require Business Central for full receivables management.
Contractor+
Job Schedule / Assignment
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Bookable Resource Booking
1:1Contractor+ scheduling data has no native equivalent in Dynamics 365 Sales. We preserve schedule details as custom fields on the Opportunity (Scheduled_Start__c, Scheduled_End__c, Assigned_Technician__c). If you activate Dynamics 365 Field Service, these custom fields feed resource bookings. Scheduling automation must be rebuilt in Power Automate or Field Service.
Contractor+
Custom Property (Client)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Column on Account
1:1Contractor+ custom client properties (license numbers, insurance carrier, W-9 status) require new custom columns in Dynamics 365. We create text, date, or pick-list fields on Account with the __c suffix per Dataverse naming. For fields with value constraints, we apply Field-Level Security and add the pick-list options before data loads.
Contractor+
Custom Property (Job)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Column on Opportunity
1:1Contractor+ custom job properties (permit numbers, HOA approval status, inspection dates) migrate as custom columns on Opportunity. We create fields matching the source data type — date fields for timestamps, pick-lists for status fields, currency fields for cost overrides. Original values populate during migration; ongoing capture requires Power Automate flows.
Contractor+
Attachment / Photo
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Note (with Attachment)
1:1Contractor+ file attachments and job photos migrate as Dynamics 365 Notes with file attachments. We re-upload files to SharePoint-connected Dataverse storage (default 50GB per tenant). File size limit is 128MB per attachment; larger files require SharePoint direct upload with a link stored as a Note URL.
Contractor+
Activity Log (calls, messages)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task
1:1Contractor+ activity logs on jobs (calls logged, client messages, site visit notes) migrate as Dynamics 365 Tasks linked to the parent Opportunity or Contact. Original timestamps and owner assignments are preserved. Activity type maps to the Task Regarding object so the full context follows the record.
Contractor+
Cost Item / Material Line
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity Product
1:1Contractor+ line items with cost breakdowns (materials, labor, markup) require a mapping decision: map to Opportunity Products with unit price for estimating, or store the full cost structure as custom fields. Material cost vs. sale price parity is preserved via Quantity = 1 and UnitPrice = sale amount, with cost stored in a custom Cost__c field on the product record.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Contractor+ data model and custom field inventory
We connect to Contractor+ via API using read-only credentials and pull a full data export including all clients, jobs, estimates, invoices, line items, attachments, and custom property definitions. We catalog every custom field by type (text, pick-list, date, currency), identify multi-phase job patterns, and detect orphaned records (clients without contacts, jobs without clients). This audit generates the field-level mapping plan that your team reviews before any data movement begins.
Design Dynamics 365 schema and custom fields
Before data loads, we create all required custom fields in Dynamics 365 (Account, Contact, Opportunity, Quote, Invoice) using the Dataverse Web API. We apply pick-list values, set Field-Level Security for sensitive fields (insurance numbers, license data), and configure the opportunity sales process to match Contractor+ job stages. If your data requires more than 15 custom fields total, we flag the Professional-vs-Enterprise licensing decision at this stage.
Resolve owner assignments by email match
Contractor+ stores job owners and client assigned users by internal ID. We match these IDs against Dynamics 365 user email addresses pulled from your Microsoft 365 tenant. Unmatched owners are flagged with the full list of records they own — your team either invites them to Dynamics 365 first or assigns records to a fallback owner before migration. No record lands without a valid Dynamics 365 OwnerId.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100-500 records spanning clients, contacts, jobs, estimates, and invoices. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against the Dynamics 365 destination values, so you can verify that license numbers, cost breakdowns, job status values, and timestamps mapped correctly before the full run commits. Approval from your team on the sample diff is required before proceeding.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration loads all remaining records into Dynamics 365 via the Dataverse Bulk API or Web API depending on volume. A delta-pickup window (24-48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Contractor+ during the cutover window — your team keeps working in Contractor+ throughout. Audit logs track every operation; one-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies missing or mis-mapped records after go-live.
