Overview
Streamleader operates as a standalone CRM with contact, company, deal, and activity records that lack native integration with financial or inventory modules. Acumatica uses a unified data model where Customers (not Contacts or Companies separately) anchor AR, sales orders, and project billing — and every transaction references a Branch and Warehouse by default. The migration maps Streamleader's contact and company records to a single Acumatica Customer using the most-recently-associated record as primary, preserving the full contact history as sub-records. Deal records route to either Opportunities or Project Tasks depending on whether they represent a one-time sale or a recurring project engagement. Custom fields in Streamleader require Acumatica User-Defined Fields (UDFs) created in the customization project before data migration, using Acumatica's DAC field naming conventions. Workflows, automations, and email templates do not migrate — FlitStack exports the workflow definitions as JSON for rebuild reference in Acumatica's Screen-Based or Generic Inquiry automation layer. We sequence the migration so that Acumatica's foreign-key constraints (Customer before AR Invoice, Inventory Item before Sales Order) resolve correctly in a staged run with field-level diff before full commit.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Streamleader object lands in Acumatica, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Streamleader
Contact
Acumatica
Customer / Contact
1:1Streamleader contacts map to Acumatica Customers with Contact sub-records. The primary company association becomes Customer.Class or a custom UDF. Secondary company associations become Customer Contact Relations in Acumatica. Contacts without a company link create a Customer with no associated account.
Streamleader
Company
Acumatica
Customer (Address + Contact)
1:1Streamleader company name becomes Customer.CustomerID and CustomerName fields. Company address becomes the default Customer address with a corresponding Location record. Multiple distinct locations in Streamleader map to separate Customer Locations in Acumatica, each with unique address and contact details.
Streamleader
Deal
Acumatica
Opportunity / Project Task
1:manyStreamleader deals that represent a one-time sale route to Acumatica Opportunities in the CRM module. Deals representing a project or retainer with task-level billing route to Project Tasks under a Project. The routing split is based on deal type metadata or a customer-provided classification rule.
Streamleader
Pipeline
Acumatica
Sales Process / Project Template
1:1Streamleader pipeline defines stages and probabilities for deal progression. For Opportunity-routed deals, the pipeline transforms into an Acumatica Sales Process tied to Sales Orders. For Project-routed deals, the pipeline becomes Project Template phases with task statuses mapped from Streamleader stage names.
Streamleader
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting)
Acumatica
Activity / Case
1:1Streamleader calls and emails migrate as Acumatica Activities with Type = Call or Email respectively. Meetings migrate as Acumatica Events preserving original start and end times. Owner and timestamp metadata are preserved during migration. Emails that represent support requests can optionally route to Cases based on Streamleader activity type.
Streamleader
Note
Acumatica
Note
1:1Streamleader notes attach to the parent record via NoteID reference. Rich-text HTML formatting is preserved intact when stored in Acumatica Notes. Inline images embedded in Streamleader notes are extracted, downloaded, and re-uploaded as separate file attachments in Acumatica.
Streamleader
Attachment / File
Acumatica
File / Note Attachment
1:1Streamleader file attachments re-upload to Acumatica Files attached to the same entity via NoteID. File size limits apply with a default of 25MB per file in Acumatica. Files without a parent record link are attached to the primary Customer record as a fallback location.
Streamleader
Custom Object
Acumatica
Custom DAC / UDF on Customer or Project
1:1Streamleader custom objects map to Acumatica custom tables (DACs) created within the Customization Project framework. N:N associations present in Streamleader require junction tables in Acumatica to preserve many-to-many relationships. We deliver the complete DAC schema and relationship diagram before migration runs.
Streamleader
User / Owner
Acumatica
User
1:1Streamleader owner IDs resolve by matching email addresses against Acumatica users in the system. Users must exist in Acumatica before migration begins — we flag any unmatched owners and let the customer decide between inviting them as new users or assigning their records to a fallback owner.
Streamleader
Workflow / Automation
Acumatica
Business Events / Screen-Based Automation
1:1Streamleader workflows do not migrate directly due to architectural differences. We export workflow definitions as JSON including trigger conditions, action steps, and filter logic. Email notification templates export separately as HTML files. An Acumatica functional consultant uses this as a rebuild reference for Business Events, Screen-Based automations, or Generic Inquiry alerts.
Streamleader
Report / Dashboard
Acumatica
Generic Inquiry / Report Designer
1:1Streamleader reports and dashboards do not migrate structurally, though the underlying data transfers successfully. We export the report field list and filter logic as a reference document for rebuild efforts. The Acumatica rebuild uses Generic Inquiry (saved search equivalent) or Report Designer depending on report complexity.
Streamleader
Lead
Acumatica
Prospect
1:1Streamleader leads map directly to Acumatica Prospects in the system. Prospects can be converted to Customers through Acumatica's standard conversion workflow. Lead status and score values from Streamleader migrate as UDFs on the Prospect entity for continued lead management.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Streamleader data model and define Acumatica UDF specification
FlitStack pulls a full export of Streamleader objects, custom properties, and association metadata via the platform's API. We profile record counts, identify orphaned contacts (no company), classify deal types for routing, and inventory any custom objects. We deliver a UDF specification document listing every Streamleader custom property mapped to an Acumatica field name, type (string, number, picklist), and default value. The customer creates and publishes the Customization Project in Acumatica before the migration window opens.
Create Acumatica customization project with UDFs and branch configuration
The customer (or their Acumatica partner) creates the UDFs defined in the specification and publishes the Customization Project. We also confirm the default Branch and Warehouse assignment rule for all records, and resolve owner email matching against existing Acumatica users. Any Streamleader owners without Acumatica accounts are flagged — the customer either invites them to Acumatica or assigns their records to a fallback owner before migration begins.
Run a staged sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 200–500 records (spanning Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities) migrates first using Acumatica's import tools. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values for every mapped field. The customer reviews UDF data, deal routing decisions, owner resolution, and the contact-to-Customer consolidation. Any mapping corrections are documented and the sample is re-run until the diff is clean before the full migration commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full record set migrates using the validated mapping from the sample run. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) opens at cutover to capture any records created or modified in Streamleader during the migration run. FlitStack uses scoped read access on Streamleader — the team continues working in Streamleader throughout the window. An audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails.
Validate, export workflow definitions, and hand off rebuild reference
Post-migration, we run a reconciliation report comparing record counts, amounts, and owner assignments between Streamleader and Acumatica. We export all workflow definitions as JSON and email templates as HTML files for the Acumatica functional consultant. The customer receives a migration summary report and a list of records that require manual review (orphaned contacts, unmatched owners, or deals that could not be routed automatically).
