Overview
FieldPro is a field-service and field-sales platform built around structured visit records, route data, outlet mapping, and retail-audit workflows — not a traditional CRM. Dynamics 365 Sales (built on Dataverse) organizes data around Account, Contact, Lead, and Opportunity tables with a pick-list-driven opportunity stage model. The migration challenge is threefold: (1) FieldPro's structured visit and route records have no native Dynamics 365 equivalent and must be mapped to custom tables or Activity entities; (2) FieldPro custom fields (common in mid-market deployments) require new_-prefixed custom columns in Dynamics 365, and their data types must be validated against Dataverse column restrictions; (3) FieldPro owner records (field agents, dispatchers) must resolve to Dynamics 365 SystemUser records by email lookup — unmatched owners get flagged before data lands. We do not migrate FieldPro workflows, routing rules, or third-party integrations (ERP connectors to NetSuite or Business Central, for example). Those must be rebuilt using Power Automate or the Dynamics 365 connector library post-migration. The migration runs via Dynamics 365 Web API (Dataverse) using batch Create/Update calls, with a 24–48 hour delta-pickup window capturing records modified between the initial extract and the cutover commit. Sample migrations of 100–200 records run first, generating field-level diffs so your admin can validate mapping before the full dataset commits.
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 FieldPro 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.
FieldPro
FieldPro User (field agent / dispatcher)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SystemUser
1:1FieldPro users map to Dynamics 365 SystemUser records. We match on email address — if a FieldPro user email matches an existing D365 user, the record inherits that OwnerId. Unmatched FieldPro users are flagged before migration; your admin either invites them to D365 first or assigns them to a fallback user who inherits their records.
FieldPro
Outlet / Point of Sale
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1FieldPro outlets (retail locations, distributor endpoints) map directly to Dynamics 365 Account records. We map the outlet name to Account.Name, the registered address fields to Address1 components, and store the original FieldPro outlet ID in a custom Source_Outlet_ID__c field for traceability. GPS coordinates from FieldPro (latitude/longitude) become custom decimal fields on the Account.
FieldPro
Contact (outlet contact, field agent)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1FieldPro contact records on outlets map to Dynamics 365 Contact. Email, phone, mobile phone, job title, and address fields migrate directly. We resolve the primary account link by matching the outlet name — if the outlet already landed as an Account, the contact gets that AccountId lookup populated. Contacts without an email receive a generated placeholder email and are flagged for review.
FieldPro
Lead (prospect outlet pre-qualification)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:1If FieldPro tracks outlet pre-qualification or prospect visits before a location is confirmed, those records map to Dynamics 365 Lead. Lead fields (firstname, lastname, email, company, phone) migrate directly. We preserve the original FieldPro createdate as Original_Create_Date__c since D365's CreatedOn is set at migration time.
FieldPro
Visit Record
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Table (new_FieldProVisit) + Task
1:1FieldPro visit records have no native D365 equivalent — the structured visit data (checklist responses, visit outcome, products observed, visit duration) maps to a new_ FieldProVisit custom table in Dataverse. The visit summary (date, outlet, agent, outcome) also creates a Task record on the related Account for timeline visibility. The custom table stores the full visit payload as JSON in a custom Long Text field for audit reference.
FieldPro
Route / Route Leg
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Table (new_FieldProRoute)
1:1FieldPro route definitions and individual route legs (ordered stops with arrival times) map to a new_ FieldProRoute custom table. Each route leg links to the related Outlet (Account) via a lookup field. Route optimization scores from FieldPro AI migrate as custom Number fields. Planned vs. actual arrival times are preserved as separate datetime fields for route-efficiency reporting in Power BI.
FieldPro
Order / Sales Transaction (FieldPro Direct)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SalesOrder + OrderProduct
1:1FieldPro Direct orders placed by retailers map to Dynamics 365 SalesOrder and OrderProduct records. Order number, order date, total amount, and status migrate directly. Line items map to OrderProduct with product name, quantity, and unit price. If FieldPro products use a different SKU schema than D365, we apply a value-map lookup or create placeholder products flagged for D365 admin reconciliation.
FieldPro
Product / SKU (FieldPro catalog)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Product
1:1FieldPro product catalog entries (name, SKU, description, unit price, category) map to Dynamics 365 Product records. Product type (stocked vs. non-stocked) is preserved as a custom field. If FieldPro organizes products into hierarchies that don't match D365's unit-group model, we map the top-level category to Product.Products [Default Business Unit] and surface sub-category as a custom field.
FieldPro
FieldPro Custom Object (user-defined)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Table (new_* Dataverse table)
1:1Any FieldPro custom objects — common in distribution and agri-sourcing deployments where teams define bespoke data capture forms — map to new_ prefixed Dataverse tables. We create the custom table schema in D365, define the lookup relationships to Account or Contact, and migrate the records. N:N associations between custom objects map via Dataverse many-to-many relationship entities.
FieldPro
Attachment / Visit Photo / Signed Form
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SharePoint Document Location + Note
1:1FieldPro blob attachments (visit photos, signed forms, compliance documents) are downloaded from FieldPro storage and re-uploaded to SharePoint Online linked to the relevant Account or Contact record. We create Document Location records in D365 pointing to the SharePoint folder so the files appear in the CRM timeline. If your D365 environment uses Notes attachments instead of SharePoint, we fall back to Note with file attachment (25MB limit enforced per file).
FieldPro
FieldPro Workflow / Route Automation
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Power Automate (not migrated)
1:1FieldPro workflows — route-triggered notifications, visit-completion alerts, auto-assignment rules — have no direct equivalent in Dynamics 365 and do not migrate automatically. We export FieldPro workflow definitions as a reference JSON document your D365 admin can use to rebuild equivalent Power Automate flows. The export covers trigger conditions, action steps, and field references.
FieldPro
ERP Integration (NetSuite, Sage, SYSPRO, Business Central)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Dataverse Connector / Power Automate (not migrated)
1:1FieldPro's pre-built ERP connectors (Business Central, NetSuite, Sage CRM, SYSPRO) are platform-specific and cannot transfer to Dynamics 365. We document the current integration endpoints, field mappings, and sync frequency so your integration team can rebuild using the D365 Dataverse connector or Azure Logic Apps. If you use FieldPro Direct for B2B ordering, we provide a data model guide for mapping that flow to D365 Sales Order processing.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit FieldPro data model and D365 edition
We read your FieldPro export — users, outlets, visits, routes, orders, and all custom objects — and cross-reference against your target D365 edition (Professional vs. Enterprise). We identify every custom field in FieldPro, map it to either a D365 standard field or a new_ Dataverse custom column, and flag custom tables that exceed the Sales Professional 15-table cap. We deliver a schema setup checklist: which custom tables to create in D365, which Dataverse column types to use, and which custom fields your admin must provision before data lands.
Resolve owners and users by email match
FieldPro agents and dispatchers map to Dynamics 365 SystemUser records. We match FieldPro user emails against existing D365 users — matches inherit the correct OwnerId automatically. Unmatched FieldPro users are listed in a pre-migration owner report with one of two actions: invite the user to D365 first, or assign their records to a fallback owner. No record lands in D365 without a resolved owner; this prevents orphaned visit and route records after cutover.
Migrate outlets and contacts before visits and orders
Dynamics 365 requires foreign-key resolution in a specific order: Accounts must exist before Contacts (ParentCustomerId), Contacts before Opportunities, and Accounts before visit and order records. We sequence the migration: (1) FieldPro Users → D365 SystemUsers, (2) Outlets → Accounts with GPS custom fields, (3) Contacts linked to Accounts, (4) Leads, (5) Custom tables (FieldProVisit, FieldProRoute), (6) Products, (7) SalesOrders and SalesOrderDetails. Route legs are created after the route header records exist.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 150–300 records migrates first — typically 50 outlets, 80 contacts, 40 visit records, 20 routes, and 10 orders. We generate a field-level diff: source FieldPro field value vs. destination D365 column value for every mapped field. Your admin reviews the diff to verify GPS coordinate mapping, custom pick-list value translations, owner resolution, and product SKU matching. No full migration runs until you sign off on the sample diff.
Full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset migrates via D365 Web API (Dataverse) batch operations — Create for new records, Update for existing records. A delta-pickup window opens at migration start and runs for 24–48 hours, capturing any FieldPro records created or modified during the cutover. All operations are logged in an audit trail. If reconciliation reveals missing records or mapping errors, one-click rollback reverts the batch so your team can correct and recommit. After rollback window closes, your admin receives a migration summary report with record counts, error log, and owner-unresolved flags.
Deliver workflow export and integration rebuild guide
FieldPro workflow definitions — route-triggered notifications, visit-completion alerts, auto-assignment rules — are exported as a JSON reference document with trigger conditions, action steps, and field references. This document goes to your D365 admin as a rebuild guide for Power Automate. Similarly, we deliver a data model summary of your FieldPro ERP integrations (Business Central, NetSuite, Sage CRM) so your integration team has the source field list and sync logic needed to rebuild those connections via the D365 Dataverse connector.
