How the model is organised

Location and ownership

Organizations own Sites and Technicians; each site can support multiple installation engagements.

Delivery

Installation engagements hold the contract baseline and connect work orders, technician hours, travel and expenses and site milestones.

Billing

Site milestone payments link to site milestones, keeping due dates and collection state beside the deliverable.

Review evidence

Review decisions and operation receipts preserve decision and operation outcomes; record attachments link files to supported record types.

Keys and references

Human-readable codes identify sites, engagements, technicians, service lines, milestones, payments, decisions and receipts. Reference fields carry the working relationship: an installation points to its site and manager, a work order points to its installation and technician, and a payment points to its milestone. Record attachments use parent table name and parent record ID rather than a dedicated reference to each source table. Confirm those identifiers during migration so attachments resolve to the intended records.

Migration order

  1. Load Organizations and Technicians, then confirm active staff, rates and ownership.
  2. Load Sites with site owners, owning organizations and billing terms.
  3. Load installation engagements with their site, organization, manager, dates and commercial baseline.
  4. Load work orders, technician hours, travel and expenses and site milestones against the correct engagements.
  5. Load site milestone payments and supported record attachments, then reconcile review decisions and operation receipts with the events they describe.
  6. Check totals and status lists on representative installations before using the records for operating decisions.
