Customer sync test
Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.
Starting event: A change to the selected Customers or Accounts record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Dynamics 365 F&O Customers and Salesforce Accounts. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.
If it fails: Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.

Deal or opportunity process handoff
Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.
Starting event: A change to the selected Sales Orders or Opportunities record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Dynamics 365 F&O Sales Orders and Salesforce Opportunities. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Map the customer and sales pipeline before the opportunity; map stage values deliberately.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Repeat the approved handoff and verify that it locates the existing order; test a reopened deal without silently cancelling fulfillment.
If it fails: Suspend downstream creation for a rejected deal and review whether an order already exists before retrying.
Reconcile Dynamics 365 F&O business records with Salesforce
Validate the selected objects and operations even where connector-level direction is documented.
Starting event: A finance-owned record in Dynamics 365 F&O needs operational visibility through Accounts or Contacts.
- Select Customers or Vendors with the correct legal entity, period, and currency.
- Define a reporting relationship in Salesforce; do not equate customer records, ledger accounts, and posted transactions.
- Decide whether the process only reports a financial state or requests an approved accounting action, and maintain a separate transaction ID for each action.
Expected result: Totals reconcile within the same entity/currency/window; a repeated handoff creates no duplicate financial transaction.
If it fails: Verify posting and settlement state before retrying. Use the approved adjustment path for already-posted transactions.
