Overview
Road Runner CPQ and Salesforce Sales Cloud share the same end goal — closing deals with correct pricing — but their data models differ substantially. Road Runner stores quotes as first-class objects with embedded product configurations, pricing rule conditions, and approval-state flags. Salesforce Sales Cloud separates opportunities (the deal header), OpportunityLineItems (the product lines), and Quote objects (the formal proposal), with pricing logic handled either natively or through Salesforce CPQ. We map Road Runner quote headers to Salesforce Opportunity records, bundled product configurations to OpportunityLineItems with custom fields capturing bundle metadata, and pricing rule conditions to custom fields or CPQ configuration objects depending on your destination edition. Approval-state flags migrate as custom pick-list fields since Salesforce handles quote approvals through its own approval process. The migration uses Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 for high-volume record loading with chunked processing to respect API governor limits, followed by a 24–48 hour delta-pickup window to capture any quotes or configurations created during the cutover window.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Road Runner object lands in Salesforce Sales Cloud, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Road Runner
Quote
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Road Runner quote headers map 1:1 to Salesforce Opportunity records. Quote name, total amount, and status fields map to Opportunity Name, Amount, and StageName. Owner resolution happens by email match to Salesforce users before records insert. All Road Runner timestamps are preserved in custom datetime fields on the Opportunity record to maintain historical reporting continuity and audit trail integrity across the migration.
Road Runner
Quote
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Quote
1:1If the destination org uses Salesforce native Quotes, Road Runner quote documents map to the Salesforce Quote object. Quote expiration date, description, and billing/shipping terms migrate as Quote fields. Approval state flag migrates as a custom field since Salesforce Quote approval is a separate configuration.
Road Runner
Product
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Product2 + PricebookEntry
1:1Road Runner product definitions with pricing tiers map to Salesforce Product2 records plus PricebookEntry records tied to the standard or custom pricebook. Unit price and pricing model type (one-time, recurring, usage) translate to PricebookEntry.UnitPrice and subscription fields. Pricing tier metadata is preserved as custom fields on the Product2 record to maintain tiering structure, and each PricebookEntry references the appropriate pricebook ID for the destination org.
Road Runner
Configuration Bundle
Salesforce Sales Cloud
OpportunityLineItem + Custom Junction Object
1:manyRoad Runner configuration bundles — parent product with mandatory or optional child products — split into OpportunityLineItem records. Bundle metadata (mandatory/optional flags, quantity rules) are stored in custom fields on the line item or a junction object to preserve the bundle hierarchy in Salesforce.
Road Runner
Pricing Rule
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field on Quote/OpportunityLineItem + Salesforce Flow
1:1Road Runner pricing rule conditions (discount tiers, volume breakpoints, customer-type discounts) translate to a combination of custom fields on OpportunityLineItem capturing rule metadata, plus a Salesforce Flow that evaluates the condition at quote-generation time. If destination has CPQ, conditions map to CPQ Pricing Rules.
Road Runner
Quote Approval
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Approval_Status__c Field + Salesforce Approvals
1:1Road Runner approval-state field (pending, approved, rejected) migrates as a custom pick-list field on the Quote object. Salesforce approval routing requires manual configuration in Salesforce Approvals or CPQ Approvals — we provide a mapping of approver-role names to Salesforce roles as a rebuild reference.
Road Runner
Account
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Road Runner accounts map directly to Salesforce Account records. Account name, industry, website, and billing address migrate as standard Account fields. Multi-address records collapse to the primary billing address with secondary addresses stored in custom fields. Owner assignments are resolved via email matching against Salesforce users prior to migration to ensure accountability and proper sharing model activation.
Road Runner
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Road Runner contact records map to Salesforce Contact objects. First name, last name, email, phone, and title migrate as standard fields. Contacts without a primary account link attach to a default 'Unassigned Account' record to satisfy the required AccountId lookup.
Road Runner
Opportunity (deals managed outside CPQ in Road Runner)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Road Runner deals or opportunities tracked outside the CPQ flow map to Salesforce Opportunity records using standard stage, amount, close date, and owner fields. Pipeline and stage mapping uses Salesforce Sales Processes tied to record types if the org uses multiple deal types.
Road Runner
Custom Quote Field
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field on Quote / OpportunityLineItem
1:1Road Runner custom fields on quotes (region codes, contract-type flags, internal references) that have no Salesforce standard equivalent require custom field creation on the Quote or OpportunityLineItem object before migration. We deliver a custom field specification sheet as part of the pre-migration schema plan.
Road Runner
Product Relationship
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Junction Object or OpportunityLineItem
1:1Road Runner related-product links (cross-sell, upsell, substitute) translate to a custom junction object or custom fields on OpportunityLineItem depending on the relationship type. N:N product relationships in Road Runner require junction objects in Salesforce. Relationship metadata including effective dates, priority flags, and cross-sell sequences are preserved in custom fields to maintain full business context during the transition.
Road Runner
Document / Attachment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Files / ContentDocument
1:1Road Runner attached documents on quotes or products re-upload to Salesforce Files linked to the corresponding Opportunity or Quote record. File size limits (Salesforce default 25MB per file) are enforced; files exceeding the limit are flagged for manual transfer. Version history and original file names are preserved where available, with each document linked to its source quote or product for full traceability and audit compliance.

Migration approach
Audit Road Runner data model and build Salesforce schema plan
FlitStack AI begins every migration with a structured audit of your Road Runner instance: all quote objects, product records, pricing rule fields, bundle configurations, approval-state fields, and custom fields are catalogued. We produce a Salesforce schema setup plan specifying which custom fields to create on Opportunity, Quote, OpportunityLineItem, and Product2 objects, which junction objects to create for bundle hierarchies, and which pricebook to target. This plan is reviewed with your Salesforce admin before any data moves so the destination org schema is ready before validation runs.
Resolve owners and users by email match
Road Runner quote owners map to Salesforce Opportunity owners by email address. We run an owner-resolution query against your Salesforce org's user list before migration to identify matches and flag any Road Runner owners who don't have a Salesforce user account. Your team either creates Salesforce user accounts for unmatched owners or designates a fallback owner before migration. No opportunity lands in Salesforce without a valid OwnerId — this prevents orphaned records and broken sharing model entries.
Migrate accounts, contacts, products, and pricebook entries first
Salesforce requires a strict object hierarchy: Product2 must exist before PricebookEntry can be created, Account must exist before Contact (via AccountId), and Opportunity requires AccountId before it can be saved. We sequence the migration so the dependency chain resolves correctly — Products → PricebookEntries → Accounts → Contacts → Opportunities → Quote Lines. Bundle junction objects are created in the same pass as OpportunityLineItems. This sequencing prevents foreign-key violations that would otherwise cause partial record inserts and require rollback.
Run sample migration with field-level diff before full data transfer
A representative sample — typically 100–500 records spanning quotes, quote lines, products, and accounts — migrates first against a Salesforce sandbox or the destination org. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing source values to destination values so you can verify that approval-status mapping, pricing rule condition capture, bundle metadata encoding, and AI score preservation all landed correctly. You sign off on the diff before the full migration run commits. This step catches mis-mapped pick-list values, missing custom fields, and pricing condition encoding before thousands of records move.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit-log rollback
The full migration runs against Salesforce using Bulk API 2.0 for high-volume quote and line-item loading, with REST API for smaller reference objects. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs alongside the cutover — any Road Runner quotes, products, or pricing updates created during the migration window are captured and loaded into Salesforce before go-live. Every operation is logged in an audit trail. If the post-migration reconciliation report shows record count or field discrepancies, a one-click rollback reverts all migrated records so the team can re-run from a known-good state.
