Overview
CRUMP CRM is a vertical layer on Microsoft Dynamics 365, which means the migration path is technically an intra-family move rather than a cross-platform leap. We connect to the source org's Dynamics 365 instance, enumerate all active entities and any CRUMP CRM custom fields layered on top, and map them to their native Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales equivalents. The main complexity is that CRUMP CRM custom modules (Projects, Tickets, Invoices, bundled helpdesk tasks) may use non-standard field names that require explicit enumeration before mapping. We do not migrate workflows, automations, form builders, or e-signature configurations as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active automation for the customer's admin to rebuild using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales workflows or Power Automate. Attachments stored in SharePoint-linked or notes-attached locations require a separate file-level export pass, which we coordinate with the customer's IT team.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a CRUMP CRM 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.
CRUMP CRM
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1CRUMP CRM Contacts are standard Dynamics 365 Contact records. We export via the source org's Dataverse or OData endpoint and map directly to the destination Contact entity. Standard fields (fullname, emailaddress1, telephone1, address) migrate without transformation. CRUMP CRM may layer custom fields on Contact; we enumerate every custom field during the audit phase and map each to a corresponding custom field in the destination org's Contact entity before import.
CRUMP CRM
Account
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1CRUMP CRM Accounts map 1:1 to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Account records. Parent-child hierarchy, if present in the source org, is preserved and reconstructed using the ParentAccountId lookup. The account's primary contact is flagged during import so that the primarycontactid lookup is resolved before the next phase begins.
CRUMP CRM
Deal
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1CRUMP CRM Deals correspond to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunities. The dealstage in CRUMP CRM maps to the StageName field on Opportunity, and pipeline assignment maps to a Sales Process or Record Type we configure in the destination before migration. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won dates, deal value (estimatedvalue), and probability all transfer directly. CRUMP CRM custom fields attached to Deals require explicit enumeration during the audit phase because the CRUMP CRM layer may use non-standard schema names different from the native Dynamics 365 opportunity schema.
CRUMP CRM
Project
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Project (via Dataverse or Project Operations)
1:1CRUMP CRM's bundled Project Management module stores project records including status, start and end dates, assigned team members, and task summaries. We export project records and map them to the Dataverse msdyn_project entity or the Project table in Dynamics 365 Project Operations if that module is licensed in the destination. Task-level detail below the summary level may not be fully representable in the standard project entity without Project Operations; we flag any task records that cannot map natively and document them separately for admin rebuild.
CRUMP CRM
Ticket
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Incident (Customer Service)
lossyHelpdesk tickets in CRUMP CRM are Cases or Incidents in Dynamics 365 Customer Service terminology. We map ticket status, priority, description, and the linked contact lookup. CRUMP CRM ticket custom fields require explicit enumeration and mapping against the destination Case entity's custom field schema. If the destination org does not have Customer Service licensed, tickets migrate as Cases in the base Sales entity set with a flag that the customer should consider Customer Service licensing for long-term support workflow management.
CRUMP CRM
Invoice
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Invoice
1:1CRUMP CRM's bundled invoicing module exports invoice records with line items, totals, payment status, and dates. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales includes an Invoice entity backed by Dataverse. We preserve invoice headers and line items, and reconstruct the relationship to the originating Opportunity or Account from the source export. Invoice PDFs attached as notes migrate as ContentDocument records linked via ContentDocumentLink.
CRUMP CRM
Task
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task
1:1CRUMP CRM Tasks exist across multiple bundled modules (CRM tasks, project tasks, helpdesk tasks). We deduplicate by subject and timestamp, label each task by its origin module using a custom sourcemodule__c field, and import into the unified Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Task entity. Task Status, Priority, and ActivityDate preserve directly; assigned owner resolves via email match against the destination User table.
CRUMP CRM
User
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User
1:1CRUMP CRM user accounts and role assignments export from the source Dynamics 365 instance. We match each user by email against the destination Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales User table. Inactive CRUMP CRM users are archived rather than imported to prevent ghost records in the destination. Role and security role assignments are documented separately for the customer's admin to reconfigure in the destination because security roles carry org-specific permission sets that must be validated in the destination context.
CRUMP CRM
Custom Object
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity
1:1CRUMP CRM may expose custom entities built on top of the Dynamics 365 Dataverse layer. Each custom object and its fields are enumerated during the audit phase. We map each custom entity to a corresponding custom table in the destination Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales org, preserving API names with the __c suffix per Microsoft convention. Lookup relationships to standard entities are resolved in dependency order so that parent records are present at insert time.

Migration approach
Source org discovery and licence audit
We connect to the CRUMP CRM source environment via its underlying Dynamics 365 instance, typically the org URL provided during onboarding. We enumerate all active entities, query the metadata to identify CRUMP CRM-specific custom fields layered on standard entities, and verify the licence tier governing API access. The output is a written discovery document listing every entity to migrate, the estimated record count per entity, any entities blocked by licence tier, and the credentials required for the source read-only service account.
Schema audit and destination design
We design the destination schema in the target Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales org. This includes provisioning any custom fields needed to receive CRUMP CRM custom data, configuring Opportunity Sales Processes and Record Types to match the source pipeline stages, and setting up the Case entity structure if Customer Service is in scope. We create the schema in a Dynamics 365 Sandbox first for validation before promoting to production.
Data quality assessment and cleansing
We run a data quality assessment on the source export: duplicate contact and account records, missing required fields, orphaned child records with no parent, and stale records with no activity in the past 18 months. We present the findings to the customer's admin and agree on a cleansing action plan. Common actions include de-duplication before import, archiving of inactive accounts, and re-parenting of contacts that reference inactive accounts.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We execute a full migration into a Dynamics 365 Sandbox using production-equivalent data volume. The customer's admin reviews record counts per entity, spot-checks 25-50 records for field-level accuracy against the source, and validates that pipeline stages, custom field values, and owner assignments landed correctly. Any mapping corrections are documented and applied before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run the production migration in dependency order: User records (resolved by email match against the destination User table), Accounts (from CRUMP CRM Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), Project records, Case records, Invoice records, Tasks, and Custom Objects last because they often carry lookups to standard entities. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use the Dataverse REST API with batch chunking and exponential backoff on rate-limit responses.
Cutover, file migration, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze writes to the CRUMP CRM source 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 coordinate the SharePoint file export pass in parallel with the customer's IT team. We deliver the automation inventory document listing every CRUMP CRM workflow and its recommended Dynamics 365 equivalent. We support a five-business-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the sales team during the first week of live operation.
