Overview
Migrating from Delta Sales CRM to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a structural migration from a field-force Android app into Microsoft's enterprise Dataverse-backed CRM. Delta has no documented public API, so we build a custom CSV export pipeline from the web application layer, transform the output to match Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales ' data model, and load records via the Dataverse REST API and Bulk API 2.0. We preserve the Account-Contact relationship, resolve Owner lookups by email before Opportunity import, and rebuild Delta's Beat Plan route sequences as a custom Dataverse entity post-migration. We do not migrate Attendance records, GPS visit logs, or field-force-only modules because no equivalent objects exist in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales . Workflows and automations built inside Delta do not carry over; we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow for the customer's admin to rebuild in Dynamics.
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 Delta Sales 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.
Delta Sales CRM
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Delta Contacts map directly to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Contact. We extract full name, phone, email, address, company linkage, owner assignment, and any custom field values via the CSV export pipeline. The Contact-Account relationship is preserved by ensuring Account records import before Contact records so that the parent-account lookup resolves at insert time. The original contact created date and modified date migrate as metadata fields for audit trail purposes.
Delta Sales CRM
Company
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Delta Companies map to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Account. We export company name, domain, industry, address, phone, website, owner, and custom fields and insert into Account before any dependent Contact or Opportunity records. The Account is the primary deduplication key during import; we match by account name with fuzzy matching to catch minor spelling variations introduced by manual entry in Delta.
Delta Sales CRM
Lead
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:1Delta Leads map directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Lead. We export lead status, source, owner, created date, and custom fields. Lead scores, if populated in Delta's advanced analytics module, migrate as a custom integer field on the Dynamics Lead for reporting continuity. Any Delta leads already converted to Deals pre-migration retain their conversion metadata in the Deal's description or a custom field rather than attempting a reverse-convert into Contact-Account pairs.
Delta Sales CRM
Deal
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Delta Deals map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunity. Each Deal's pipeline and stage assignment maps to a Dynamics Sales Process and Opportunity Stage. The deal amount, probability, expected close date, and owner all migrate directly. We resolve the OwnerId by matching the Delta owner email to a Dynamics User record before Opportunity import so that every Opportunity has a valid owner assignment at insert time.
Delta Sales CRM
Pipeline
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Sales Process + Record Type
lossyDelta's pipeline structure (pipeline name, stage names, stage order, stage probabilities) becomes a Dynamics Sales Process with corresponding Record Type on Opportunity. We configure the Sales Process and stage values in Dynamics metadata before any Opportunity records load. Stage probability percentages migrate from Delta to Dynamics StageProbability, rounded to integer values within Dynamics' allowed range.
Delta Sales CRM
Activity (Calls, Meetings, Tasks, Notes)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task, Event, Note
1:1Delta Activities map to the equivalent Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales activity objects: calls to Task with TaskSubtype=Call, meetings to Event, tasks to Task, and notes to Note. We export activity type, date, subject, description, assignee, and status. Date formats from Delta (which may vary by user locale settings) are normalized to ISO 8601 before import. Assignee mapping resolves Delta owner email to Dynamics UserId. Activities are loaded after Contacts, Leads, and Opportunities so that the regarding (WhatId and WhoId) lookups resolve at insert time.
Delta Sales CRM
Product
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Product
1:1Delta Products map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Product2 records with Standard Price Book entries. We export product name, SKU, description, unit, and list price. Products are loaded before any Opportunity Line Items so that the Product2 lookup resolves at insert time. The Standard Pricebook is activated in Dynamics before the migration so that prices are available immediately after product import.
Delta Sales CRM
Invoice
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Invoice
1:1Delta Invoice records map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Invoice. We export invoice headers (invoice number, date, due date, status, total amount), the associated contact and account references, and line items with product, quantity, unit price, and total. Delta's invoice numbering convention migrates as a custom field on the Dynamics Invoice if the customer's AP team relies on it for audit trail continuity.
Delta Sales CRM
Payment
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Invoice (Payment fields)
1:1Delta Payment records map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Invoice payment-related fields. We export payment amount, payment date, payment method, and the reference to the associated Delta invoice. If Delta's payment data is structurally distinct from Dynamics' invoice-level payment fields, we create a custom payment entity on the Dataverse layer to preserve the full payment history without overwriting Dynamics' native invoice state logic.
Delta Sales CRM
Custom Field
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Field
lossyCustom fields from Delta migrate as Dynamics custom attributes on the equivalent entity. We extract the custom field definition (name, data type, required flag, picklist values if applicable) and create the matching custom field in Dynamics before any data loads into that entity. Custom field values export from Delta's CSV with the field label as the column header; we map the label to the Dynamics field API name during the transform step. Any custom fields with data types that do not map cleanly to Dynamics field types (such as Delta-specific picklists with no matching global value set) are flagged for manual mapping during scoping.
Delta Sales CRM
Attachment (Document)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Note / SharePoint Document
1:1Delta file attachments are exported as binary blobs with their associated record ID and file type metadata. We load file attachments as Notes with the IsDocument flag set to true, linked via RegardingObjectId to the parent record. If the customer uses SharePoint for document management in Dynamics, we offer a path to migrate files directly into SharePoint document libraries with the same folder structure as Delta's attachment hierarchy. Large attachment batches require separate chunking and are processed after all standard CRM records to avoid timeouts.
Delta Sales CRM
Beat Plan (Route Plan)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity (Route)
1:1Delta Beat Plans assign route sequences to field reps, linking a rep to a list of customers with visit order and scheduled date. There is no standard equivalent in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales . We export the beat plan structure as a custom entity (Route) with fields for Route Name, Sales Rep, Scheduled Date, Customer (Account lookup), Visit Sequence, and Visit Status. This custom entity is created in the Dataverse layer before migration, and all beat plan assignments are loaded after the Account and User records they reference.

Migration approach
Discovery and Delta configuration audit
We audit Delta Sales CRM across every module in scope: total record counts by entity (Contacts, Accounts, Leads, Opportunities, Activities, Products, Invoices, Payments), custom field count and definitions extracted from the settings UI, pipeline and stage definitions, beat plan structure, attachment volume and storage location, and user count with email addresses. We pair this with a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales edition assessment: Professional ($95/user/month) covers single-pipeline, no-custom-entity migrations; Enterprise ($190/user/month) is required for custom entities, record-triggered Power Automate flows, or advanced opportunity management; Premium adds LinkedIn Sales Navigator integration and conversation intelligence. The discovery output is a written migration scope document and a Dynamics edition recommendation.
Schema design in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
We build the destination schema in a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales sandbox before any production data moves. This includes provisioning any custom entities on the Dataverse layer, creating custom fields with the correct data types (text, integer, decimal, date, picklist, lookup) mapped from Delta's custom field definitions, configuring Sales Processes and stage values to match Delta's pipeline structure, setting up Record Types on Opportunity if the customer uses multiple distinct sales processes, and creating the custom Route entity for Beat Plan migration. Schema is deployed via the Dataverse Web API or manually in the Dynamics admin center. The customer validates the schema design in sandbox before we proceed to production migration.
CSV export pipeline and data transformation
We build the custom CSV export from Delta's web application layer, extracting all records in dependency order with foreign-key relationship IDs preserved as export columns. The transform step normalizes date formats to ISO 8601, maps Delta's picklist values to Dynamics option set values, splits multi-value custom fields into the appropriate Dynamics field types, and generates a reconciliation report comparing exported record counts against Delta's UI counts. Any records that fail validation (missing required fields, invalid formats) are held in a staging table for customer review. The export pipeline runs in a controlled window with all Delta devices online and synced.
Sandbox migration and record reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales sandbox using production-equivalent data volume. The customer's RevOps lead or system administrator reconciles record counts (Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Activities, Products, Invoices) against the Delta source, spot-checks 25-50 records per entity for field-level accuracy, and validates that the Account-Contact and Opportunity-Account lookups resolved correctly. Any mapping corrections, missing custom fields, or stage-value mismatches are fixed in the transform pipeline before production migration begins. Sign-off on the sandbox reconciliation report gates the production migration start date.
Production migration in dependency order
We execute the production migration in the sequence that satisfies all foreign-key constraints: Accounts first (from Delta Companies), then Contacts (with AccountId resolved), then Leads (with owner email mapped to Dynamics User), then Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), then Products and Price Book entries, then Opportunity Line Items (with Pricebook2Id, Product2Id, and OpportunityId resolved), then Activity history (Tasks, Events, Notes via the Dataverse Bulk API with batch chunking and exponential backoff on rate limits), then Invoices and Payments, then Beat Plan routes as the custom Route entity, and finally Attachments. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report; the migration halts and triggers a root-cause review if any phase's output count deviates from the expected count by more than 2 percent.
Cutover, delta migration, and workflow handoff
We freeze writes in Delta during the cutover window, run a final delta export of any records created or modified since the main export, apply those records to Dynamics, and then lock the Delta account as read-only. We deliver a written workflow inventory to the customer's Dynamics admin: every active Delta workflow, its trigger conditions and actions, and a recommended Power Automate or Dynamics workflow equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. We do not rebuild Delta automations as Power Automate flows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement. Beat Plan routing is delivered as documented Route entity records with instructions for the admin to validate visit sequences and reassign reps in Dynamics Field Service if field scheduling is required.
