Overview
Ramp is a spend management platform built around corporate cards, vendor management, and automated bill-pay workflows. Its data model centers on Transactions, Merchants, Vendors, Cards, and Expense Policies rather than traditional CRM objects. Dynamics 365 Sales, built on Dataverse, models customer relationships through Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Leads. The migration challenge is translating Ramp's financial transaction records into a CRM-compatible structure where spend history becomes contextual intelligence on Dynamics 365 Accounts. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so vendor records land as Dynamics Accounts first, then card-holder contacts resolve against Dynamics users by email match, then transaction histories attach as custom spend records with original amounts, merchant names, and GL codes. Approval workflows, spend limits, and automation logic do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in Dynamics 365's Power Automate environment. The migration API approach reads Ramp's transaction export in batches, transforms field names and date formats, and upserts into Dynamics 365 via the Dataverse Web API with duplicate detection on Ramp's transaction ID.
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 RAMM 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.
RAMM
Vendor
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Ramp vendors map directly to Dynamics 365 Accounts. Vendor name becomes Account Name; vendor category becomes Industry or a custom Vendor_Category__c pick-list. Ramp's vendor ID is preserved as an external key on the Account for traceability and delta-run matching during migration.
RAMM
Employee (Cardholder)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Ramp employees who hold corporate cards become Dynamics 365 Contacts. Email, name, and department map directly. The contact is linked to the primary Account (employer vendor) via the AccountId lookup. Active card status and employee spend limit are stored as custom fields on the Contact.
RAMM
Card
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity: Corporate_Card__c
1:1Ramp's Card object has no direct Dynamics 365 equivalent — there is no native card management in Sales. FlitStack creates a Corporate_Card__c custom table in Dataverse linked to the Contact cardholder. Fields include card last-four digits, spend limit, merchant lock settings, and issuance date.
RAMM
Transaction
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity: Spend_Transaction__c
1:1Ramp transactions (card charges, bill payments, reimbursements) become records in a custom Spend_Transaction__c Dataverse table. Each transaction links to the Account vendor, the Contact cardholder, and the Card used. Original Ramp transaction ID stored for duplicate detection on re-runs after migration.
RAMM
Expense Report
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity: Expense_Report__c
1:1Ramp expense reports map to a custom Expense_Report__c entity linked to the employee Contact. Report status (submitted, approved, reimbursed) becomes a status pick-list field. Line items reference Spend_Transaction__c records included in the report. Each report can be linked to multiple transactions, and any supporting documentation is attached to the record for audit trails.
RAMM
Spend Policy
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Field on Contact + SharePoint List
1:1Ramp spend policies (per-card limits, merchant restrictions, receipt thresholds) are not native Dynamics objects. FlitStack stores policy rules as JSON in a custom text field on the Card record and exports a policy inventory to a SharePoint list your admin can use to build Power Automate approval flows.
RAMM
Merchant / Vendor Category
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Pick-list on Account + Industry field
1:1Ramp merchant category codes (MCC codes) map to Dynamics 365's Industry pick-list where possible. For Ramp-specific categories not in the standard list, a custom Vendor_MCC__c field is added to the Account. Merchant tax ID maps to Dynamics Account's TradingPartnerAccountNumber field if present.
RAMM
Receipt / Attachment
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SharePoint / Dynamics Notes
1:1Ramp receipts are image or PDF files attached to transactions. FlitStack downloads each receipt, then re-uploads to the associated Spend_Transaction__c record's document location in Dynamics SharePoint integration. Original receipt URLs preserved as a reference field if Ramp API access remains open.
RAMM
Integration Sync Log
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Field on Account
1:1Ramp's sync status with connected accounting platforms (QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite) has no Dynamics 365 equivalent. Sync state and last-synced timestamp are stored as custom fields on the Account for finance team reference during cutover and reconciliation for accurate reporting and audit compliance.
RAMM
Budget / Spend Limit
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity: Department_Budget__c
1:1Ramp department and team spend budgets map to a custom Department_Budget__c Dataverse entity linked to the Account. Budget amount, period (monthly/quarterly/annual), and current spend are custom fields. Overspend alerts require Power Automate to recreate Ramp's native notifications for your organization.

Migration approach
Export Ramp vendor and employee records in dependency order
FlitStack begins by pulling all Ramp Vendor records and Employee records via the Ramp API. Vendors export first because Ramp transactions reference a merchant/vendor on every card charge — that reference must resolve to a Dynamics 365 Account ID before transactions can link correctly. Employee records export second because each card is assigned to an employee, and the card-to-contact link is the primary relationship in the custom spend model. Unmatched vendor names or inactive employees are flagged before the transaction phase begins.
Create Dynamics 365 custom spend entities before data lands
FlitStack provisions the Spend_Transaction__c, Corporate_Card__c, and Expense_Report__c custom Dataverse tables in your Dynamics 365 environment before any records load. This includes setting field types, pick-list values, and relationships between tables. The schema setup plan is delivered 3–5 business days before the migration run so your Dynamics admin can review the structure and request additions — such as department-specific GL code fields or policy-name pick-lists — before the data loads.
Run sample migration on 500–1,000 records for field-level validation
A representative slice of transactions — spanning multiple cardholders, vendors, and date ranges — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing the Ramp source values against the Dynamics 365 destination values for each mapped field. Your team reviews the diff to confirm amount precision (Ramp stores amounts in cents; Dynamics custom fields may be currency-type), date timezone handling, and status value mapping before the full run commits.
Execute bulk transaction migration with batched API calls
The full transaction set loads in batches of 5,000 records using the Ramp API, transformed through the field-mapping logic, and upserted into Dataverse. FlitStack writes each transaction's Ramp ID as an external key to enable duplicate detection if the migration is re-run. Receipt files download in parallel and upload to the SharePoint document library linked to each Spend_Transaction__c record. A progress dashboard tracks records processed, failed, and skipped in real time.
Delta-pickup window captures in-flight transactions during cutover
After the bulk load completes, a 24–48 hour delta window runs a targeted export of any Ramp transactions created or modified during the migration window. These delta records upsert into Dynamics 365 against the same custom entities. Once the delta window closes, FlitStack generates a final reconciliation report comparing total transaction count and spend amount by vendor between Ramp and Dynamics 365. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals discrepancies above the agreed threshold.
