Overview
Moving from Everwin to Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a cross-schema ERP migration that requires schema introspection before any field mapping begins. Everwin's REST API (v3) and Java SDK (SX-API) expose core entities including Customers, Documents, Projects, Transactions, Vendors, and Items, but public schema documentation is sparse and each installation's custom-object schema varies. We start by introspecting the customer's specific Everwin API schema, building a per-installation field map, and reconciling the source chart of accounts against the destination's account structure. We migrate open AP/AR as live records, historical transactions as read-only journal entries, and Items with SKU and pricing mapped to the destination product catalog. We do not migrate workflows, automations, or custom code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Dynamics.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Everwin object lands in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Everwin
Customer
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Customer or Account
1:1Everwin Customer records map to Dynamics 365 Customer (which is a polymorphic Party type serving both Account and Contact roles) in Finance and Supply Chain, or to Account in Business Central. The customer's primary contact, billing address, and payment terms migrate as related Dynamics address records. We resolve the primary key from Everwin's Customer ID and store it in a custom field everwin_customer_id__c for audit and reconciliation.
Everwin
Customer
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Contact
1:1Individual Contact records within Everwin's Customer entity map to Dynamics 365 Contact. Where Everwin stores a company-level Customer with multiple contact persons, we split these into separate Contact records linked to the corresponding Account. Email, phone, and role fields migrate directly; role/position fields map to Dynamics JobTitle or a custom contact role field.
Everwin
Project
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Project (Finance + Operations or Project Service Automation)
1:1Everwin Project records map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation (PSA) Project or to a custom Project entity in Finance and Operations depending on the destination app licensed. Everwin custom field extensions on Project require schema profiling before migration, and we build a per-customer value-mapping table for project status workflows that differ between Everwin editions. Project task hierarchies migrate as WBS tasks in the destination.
Everwin
Document
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
SharePoint Document or Dataverse Attachment
lossyEverwin document attachments are binary blobs linked to parent entities. We export documents with their parent reference and filename, preserving the association to Customer, Project, or Transaction. The destination location is either a SharePoint document library (SharePoint integration enabled) or Dataverse notes attachments, depending on the customer's Dynamics 365 configuration. Binary format and storage location vary by Everwin installation and must be confirmed during scoping.
Everwin
User
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
User
1:1Everwin User accounts with roles and permissions export via the API. We map them to Dynamics 365 User records, preserving email address (used as the username in Microsoft 365-integrated deployments), full name, and role assignments. Role mapping is configuration-dependent: Everwin's permission model does not have a direct Dynamics equivalent, so the customer's admin reviews the role mapping during scoping.
Everwin
Transaction (open AP/AR)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Vendor Ledger Entry / Customer Ledger Entry
1:1Open accounts payable and accounts receivable in Everwin migrate as open Vendor Ledger Entries and Customer Ledger Entries in Dynamics 365 Finance or Business Central. Invoice amounts, due dates, currency, and payment terms map directly. Outstanding balance and aging info migrates as open items linked to the corresponding Vendor or Customer record.
Everwin
Transaction (historical/closed)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
General Ledger Entry (read-only)
1:1Fully paid historical transactions migrate as read-only General Ledger journal lines. We preserve account code, debit/credit amounts, transaction date, and description. These records are posted to a closed period in Dynamics to maintain the audit trail without allowing further modification, which aligns with standard ERP close procedures.
Everwin
Chart of Accounts
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
G/L Account
lossyEverwin's chart of accounts requires a full account code reconciliation matrix before loading into Dynamics 365. We export the complete account structure from Everwin, present the customer with a reconciliation spreadsheet mapping each Everwin account code to the nearest Dynamics G/L Account, and load into the destination only after sign-off. Account dimensions (Cost Center, Department, Business Unit) also require mapping if Everwin uses dimension tagging.
Everwin
Tax Code
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Tax Group / Tax Code
lossyTax codes are jurisdiction-specific and tied to Everwin's regional configuration. We export the existing tax code set and build a mapping table referencing the destination's supported tax codes (Sales Tax, VAT, GST) in the customer's Dynamics 365 company. The customer validates the tax code mapping during scoping because mismapped tax codes affect invoice posting and compliance reporting.
Everwin
Vendor
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Vendor
1:1Everwin Vendor records map directly to Dynamics 365 Vendor. Payment terms, bank details, and contact information migrate as Vendor address and contact records. Vendor hold status migrates as a Vendor Block in Dynamics Finance or as a Vendor credit limit flag in Business Central.
Everwin
Item / Product
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Item (Finance + Operations) or Item (Business Central)
1:1Everwin Item records include SKU, description, unit cost, and custom attributes. SKU maps to Dynamics Item Number. Pricing migrates to Item Unit Price and, where a Price List exists in Dynamics, to the appropriate Sales Price or Purchase Price record. Custom attributes require schema profiling to determine whether they map to Dynamics custom fields or to Item attributes tracked via the Item Attribute functionality in Business Central.
Everwin
Custom Object
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Custom Table (Dataverse)
1:1Everwin custom objects are user-defined and unique per installation. We introspect the schema at scoping, pre-create equivalent custom tables in the Dynamics 365 Dataverse or Business Central (depending on destination app), and build a per-customer field map before migration. Lookup relationships to standard objects (Customer, Project, Vendor) require parent-record resolution at migration time. Custom object migration is scoped as a separate phase after standard object validation is complete.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Schema introspection and discovery
We begin by connecting to the customer's Everwin instance via the v3 REST API (and SX-API/Java SDK if the installation uses it). We enumerate all standard entities (Customer, Vendor, Project, Item, User, Transaction) and all custom objects, capturing field names, data types, required flags, and relationship references. We produce a written schema inventory that is the foundation of the field map. We also request Everwin database access if available, which often provides a more complete view of the chart of accounts and transaction ledger than the API.
Destination app selection and schema provisioning
We work with the customer to confirm which Dynamics 365 app receives the migration: Business Central (Essentials or Premium, for SMB and mid-market), Finance (enterprise financial management), Supply Chain Management (inventory and manufacturing), or a combination. We provision the destination schema in a Sandbox including custom tables (Dataverse or Business Central), G/L Account structure, Tax Groups, Number Series, and Payment Terms. The chart of accounts reconciliation matrix is built and signed off by the finance team before any data load.
Data quality assessment and cleansing
We run a data quality assessment on the Everwin export, identifying incomplete Customer records, duplicate Vendor entries, inconsistent Item pricing, and orphaned Project assignments. Common issues include missing email addresses on contacts, mismatched tax jurisdiction flags, and inactive Users assigned to open transactions. We present a cleansing report to the customer and apply corrections before migration. Data that cannot be cleansed is flagged in the migration report with a recommended disposition (exclude, flag, or manual review post-migration).
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Dynamics 365 Sandbox (Full Copy or Intermediate if available) using production-equivalent record volumes. The customer's finance and operations leads reconcile account totals, transaction counts, open AP/AR aging, and vendor/customer balances against the live Everwin system. Any field mapping corrections, tax code adjustments, or account structure changes happen in the Sandbox scope before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We execute the production migration in dependency order: G/L Account structure (chart of accounts first), Tax Groups, Number Series and Payment Terms, then Vendor records, Customer records and Contacts, Item/product catalog, Project records, open AP/AR ledger entries, historical transactions as journal lines, and Document attachments (SharePoint or Dataverse) last. Each phase emits a row-count and total-value reconciliation report. Custom objects migrate as the final phase once all parent lookups are validated.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Everwin write access during the cutover window and run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration window. We enable Dynamics 365 as the system of record and deliver the workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Everwin workflows, automations, or SX-API custom code within the migration scope; these require a separate Dynamics implementation engagement or an internal admin rebuild.
