Reporting dataset
Accounts / Proposed company table in SQL Server (choose its name)
Plan a company dataset while preserving its source meaning.
Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Object support to establish
- SQL Server
- Your database schema
- Record identity
- Retain the source company ID and the destination customer/company ID. Separate legal entities, subsidiaries, and business units; a shared name or web domain is insufficient.
- Field ownership
- Assign ownership separately for relationship details and finance-controlled billing details.
Fields to include
- Source record ID
- Legal or display name
- Business-unit reference
- Lifecycle status
- Record dependencies
- Resolve parent organizations, business units, and currency references before dependent transactions.
- Validation
- Use two organizations with similar names and one with multiple business units. Verify that an update reaches the intended entity only.
- Recovery
- Repair the cross-system ID relationship before retrying dependent records; do not merge companies solely to remove a sync error.

Reporting dataset
Contacts / Proposed contact table in SQL Server (choose its name)
Plan a contact dataset while preserving its source meaning.
Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Object support to establish
- SQL Server
- Your database schema
- Record identity
- Use a stable person/contact ID and an explicit cross-system lookup. Email can change and can be shared, so treat it as a matching clue rather than a universal key.
- Field ownership
- Keep consent and communication preferences under an agreed authority; a general contact update must not silently resubscribe someone.
Fields to include
- Source person ID
- Display name
- Email address
- Organization reference
- Consent state
- Record dependencies
- Resolve the organization relationship and any owner or consent references required by the destination.
- Validation
- Test an email change, two records sharing an email, and a person associated with multiple organizations.
- Recovery
- Hold ambiguous matches for review and reconcile the person ID before retrying; preserve the consent decision already recorded by its owner.

Reporting dataset
Opportunities / Proposed deal or opportunity table in SQL Server (choose its name)
Plan a deal or opportunity dataset while preserving its source meaning.
Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Object support to establish
- SQL Server
- Your database schema
- Record identity
- Keep the opportunity/deal ID separate from any later order or invoice ID.
- Field ownership
- The sales process owns qualification and stage changes; downstream financial records have their own state and approval rules.
Fields to include
- Source deal ID
- Stage
- Amount and currency
- Expected close date
- Company reference
- Record dependencies
- Map the customer and sales pipeline before the opportunity; map stage values deliberately.
- Validation
- Test a reopened won deal, a stage with no destination equivalent, and an amount using a different currency.
- Recovery
- Suspend downstream creation for a rejected deal and review whether an order already exists before retrying.

Reporting dataset
Leads / Proposed prospect or lead table in SQL Server (choose its name)
Plan a prospect or lead dataset while preserving its source meaning.
Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Object support to establish
- SQL Server
- Your database schema
- Record identity
- Retain the lead ID and record its relationship to any converted contact or company.
- Field ownership
- Choose which system may qualify or convert the lead; do not infer identical lifecycle stages.
Fields to include
- Source lead ID
- Qualification status
- Owner reference
- Conversion reference
- Record dependencies
- Resolve owner and campaign references and decide how conversion changes the identity relationship.
- Validation
- Convert a test lead after the first load and verify that it does not create a duplicate person or orphan its activity.
- Recovery
- Repair the lead-to-contact conversion link before replaying later updates.

Reporting dataset
Products / Proposed product or catalog item table in SQL Server (choose its name)
Plan a product or catalog item dataset while preserving its source meaning.
Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Object support to establish
- SQL Server
- Your database schema
- Record identity
- Distinguish the product ID, variant ID, SKU, and price-list entry; they are not interchangeable keys.
- Field ownership
- Assign ownership for catalog content, price, and stock separately.
Fields to include
- Source product ID
- SKU or variant reference
- Description
- Unit of measure
- Price-list reference
- Record dependencies
- Resolve units, variants, categories, and applicable price lists before order lines.
- Validation
- Test two variants of one product, a changed SKU, and a price that applies to only one market or currency.
- Recovery
- Repair the variant or price-list reference before retrying affected order lines; preserve existing transaction prices.

Reporting dataset
Quotes, Orders & Invoices / Proposed customer invoice table in SQL Server (choose its name)
Plan a customer invoice dataset while preserving its source meaning.
Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Object support to establish
- SQL Server
- Your database schema
- Record identity
- Retain the invoice ID, issuer/legal entity, and original order reference; invoice numbers alone may overlap.
- Field ownership
- The financial system owns posting and accounting treatment. A posted invoice may need a credit or adjustment process instead of an overwrite.
Fields to include
- Source invoice ID
- Customer or supplier reference
- Line totals
- Currency
- Posting/payment status
- Record dependencies
- Resolve the customer or supplier, account codes, tax, currency, and accounting period before posting.
- Validation
- Test a posted invoice, a partial payment, tax rounding, and a closed accounting period. Compare financial totals within the same entity and currency.
- Recovery
- Determine whether a transaction posted before retrying. Follow the approved adjustment process for posted records.
