Overview
Migrating from Verenia CPQ to Salesforce means moving from an archived, non-operational CPQ system into an active CRM platform with its own CPQ layer (Salesforce Revenue Cloud). Because Verenia was shut down in 2025, there is no live API to query. All migration work relies on export artifacts the customer retained before shutdown: CSV downloads, archived quote PDFs, product catalog exports, and integration log files. We audit those artifacts during discovery, flag which objects are recoverable, and scope the migration against what actually exists. Quotes and Orders map to Salesforce Opportunity and Quote objects; product configurations map to Salesforce Product2 records with custom metadata fields carrying the original guided-selling rule data for manual rebuild in Salesforce CPQ. Attachments (quote PDFs, order confirmations) load into Salesforce ContentDocument linked to the parent record. We do not migrate Verenia's automation rules, pricing engines, or CPQ logic as executable code; we deliver a structured inventory of those rules with a recommended Salesforce CPQ configuration approach so the customer's admin or implementation partner can rebuild them post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Verenia 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.
Verenia
Quote
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Quote or Opportunity
1:1Verenia Quotes map to Salesforce Quote records linked to Opportunities if Salesforce CPQ is in use. If Salesforce Sales Cloud without CPQ is the destination, Quotes map to Opportunity with Quote fields (subtotal, discount, total) stored as Opportunity fields or custom fields. The Verenia quote status (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Expired, Revised) maps to Salesforce QuoteStatus or to Opportunity StageName depending on destination configuration. Original Quote document numbers are preserved in a custom field verenia_quote_number__c for audit cross-reference.
Verenia
Order
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity (Closed-Won) or Order
1:1Verenia Orders map to Salesforce Opportunities with StageName = 'Closed Won' for straightforward migrations, or to the Salesforce Order object if the destination org includes Order Management. Order date, total amount, and customer association migrate as Opportunity fields. Line items from Verenia Orders map to OpportunityLineItem with Pricebook2 and Product2 resolved from the Product catalog mapping.
Verenia
Product
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Product2
1:1Verenia Products map to Salesforce Product2 records. The Verenia product code (SKU) maps to ProductCode. Standard Price Book entries are created during import. Verenia pricing tiers (volume discounts, tiered pricing) are extracted as structured metadata and documented for rebuild in Salesforce CPQ Price Lists and Pricing Procedures.
Verenia
Product Configuration
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Product2 (custom metadata fields)
lossyVerenia guided-selling rules, bundle structures, compatibility constraints, and option dependencies do not map as executable logic to Salesforce CPQ. We extract these rules from the export artifacts as structured metadata and write them to custom fields on Product2 (verenia_config_rules__c, verenia_bundle_structure__c, verenia_constraints__c). This documentation becomes the configuration brief for rebuilding rules in Salesforce CPQ Advanced Product Configuration.
Verenia
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Verenia Contact records with name, email, phone, and company association migrate directly to Salesforce Contact. Standard field mapping applies. Custom contact properties are handled via our field-mapping workflow. The Verenia contact ID is preserved in a custom field verenia_contact_id__c for audit and reconciliation.
Verenia
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Verenia Company records map to Salesforce Account. The company name, address, and industry fields migrate as standard Account fields. Account is created before any Contact import so that the AccountId Lookup relationship is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert. We use the Verenia company ID as a dedupe key during import.
Verenia
User
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Verenia User records map to Salesforce User records by email match. Owner assignment on Quotes, Orders, and Contacts is remapped to active Salesforce Users post-migration. If a Verenia User has no matching Salesforce User, the record is assigned to the migration admin and flagged in the reconciliation report for the customer's admin to provision or reassign.
Verenia
Attachment (Quote PDF)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument (linked to Quote or Opportunity)
1:1Verenia Quote PDFs and order confirmation documents are extracted from archived export folders, normalized by filename convention (Quote ID, date, customer name), and loaded into Salesforce as ContentDocument records with ContentDocumentLink pointing to the parent Quote or Opportunity. File naming normalization handles inconsistent naming conventions from the legacy export artifacts.
Verenia
Attachment (Configuration screenshot)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument (linked to Product2)
1:1Product configuration screenshots and visual rule exports from Verenia migrate as ContentDocument linked to the corresponding Product2 record. These serve as visual references for the admin rebuilding the configuration rules in Salesforce CPQ.
Verenia
Pricing Tier
Salesforce Sales Cloud
PricebookEntry (custom tier fields)
lossyVerenia volume-based and tiered pricing structures are extracted as structured data and mapped to Salesforce PricebookEntry records with custom fields capturing tier breakpoints and discount percentages. The Pricebook2 is set as the Standard Price Book. Volume pricing logic is documented separately for rebuild in Salesforce CPQ Price Lists.
Verenia
Quote Line Item
Salesforce Sales Cloud
QuoteLineItem or OpportunityLineItem
1:1Verenia Quote line items map to Salesforce QuoteLineItem (if Salesforce CPQ is in scope) or OpportunityLineItem (if Sales Cloud without CPQ). We resolve the Pricebook2 reference, the Product2 reference, and the parent Quote or Opportunity at migration time. Quantity, UnitPrice, and Discount migrate directly. Bundle line items from Verenia are decomposed to individual line items with a custom field verenia_bundle_parent__c linking them to the parent bundle for rebuild reference.
Verenia
Approval Workflow
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Documentation (no code migration)
lossyVerenia approval workflows (quote discount thresholds, multi-tier sign-offs) are extracted as process documentation with the rule conditions, approver assignments, and escalation paths. We deliver this as a structured inventory document. Salesforce Quote Processes and Approval Processes rebuild is not included in the migration scope; the document guides the customer's admin or implementation partner.

Migration approach
Discovery and artifact audit
We review all available Verenia export artifacts: CSV quote and order exports, product catalog exports, contact and company exports, attachment folders, and any integration log archives. We confirm which objects are present, estimate record counts per object, and identify gaps (orphaned foreign keys, missing attachments, inconsistent date formats). We also confirm whether the customer has an active Salesforce org, which Salesforce edition is in use, and whether Salesforce Revenue Cloud (CPQ) is in scope. The discovery output is a written migration scope document listing recoverable records, data quality issues, and a clear migration boundary.
Schema design and field mapping
We design the destination Salesforce schema: custom fields on Opportunity, Quote, Product2, Contact, and Account; Salesforce CPQ objects if applicable (QuoteLineItem, Pricebook2, PricebookEntry); and ContentDocumentLink structure for attachments. We map Verenia field names to Salesforce field API names, flag any type mismatches (e.g., Verenia date stored as text), and build the transform logic. If Salesforce CPQ is in scope, we create the Pricebook2 and populate initial PricebookEntry records from the Verenia product export.
Data profiling and deduplication
We load the Verenia export artifacts into a staging database and run profiling scripts to identify duplicates (records with identical Verenia IDs), orphaned foreign keys (Quotes referencing Contacts not in the export), and format inconsistencies (date formats, null values, encoding issues). We apply deduplication rules, normalize formats, and resolve orphaned references against alternate export files where available. The profiling output is a data quality report shared with the customer before migration begins.
Parent-record resolution and dependency-ordered load
We resolve parent-record dependencies before loading child records: Accounts are created first (from Verenia Companies), then Contacts (with AccountId resolved), then Products (Product2 with Pricebook2), then Opportunities (with AccountId and OwnerId resolved), then Quotes (linked to Opportunities), then OpportunityLineItem or QuoteLineItem, then Attachments (ContentDocument with ContentDocumentLink). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Owner mapping resolves Verenia User email to Salesforce User ID; any unresolved owners go to a reconciliation queue.
Configuration rule documentation
We extract Verenia product configuration metadata (guided-selling rules, bundle logic, compatibility constraints, pricing tiers) from the export artifacts and write it to custom fields on Product2 and a separate configuration inventory document. The document includes the original rule logic, the affected product IDs, and recommended Salesforce CPQ equivalents. This is a handoff artifact for the customer's admin or implementation partner to use when rebuilding the CPQ logic in Salesforce Revenue Cloud.
Production migration, validation, and handoff
We run the production migration in the dependency order established in staging. After each phase, we share a reconciliation report comparing migrated row counts to source record counts. After the final phase, we run a validation sample (25-50 random records checked against source artifacts) and share the results. We deliver the configuration rule inventory document and the workflow/approval inventory document (if any were identified in exports) to the customer. We do not rebuild CPQ rules or approval workflows; these are separate engagements. We offer a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised during user acceptance testing.
