How the model is organised

Accounts and access:

Accounts, Organizations, team members, Users. Keep customer companies and active internal identities connected to their owning entity.

Opportunity pipeline:

Opportunities references Accounts through Counterparty and team members through Owner, with Organization carrying legal context.

Engineering feasibility:

Engineering inquiries links Parent to Opportunities and Organization to Organizations; drawing revision describes the submitted technical file version.

Activities and evidence:

Relationship activities and record attachments use Parent to join the opportunity; uploaded by identifies the attachment's team members uploader.

Proposal and outcome review:

Review decisions carries source revision and Reviewer against the opportunity Parent.

Scope correction:

Use Opportunities, review decisions and operation receipts to retain the original scope and the supported correction evidence.

Operation reconciliation:

Operation receipts carries expected revision, operation key, result state and effect references against Parent.

Keys and references

Import stable record identifiers and resolve references before loading dependent records. Accounts.Code identifies the customer mapping, while Opportunities.record number identifies the human-facing deal. Keep Opportunities.Revision and engineering inquiries.Revision distinct. Review decisions.source revision records the opportunity revision, while operation receipts.expected revision records the expected revision for its declared action. Match each value to the record the action actually checks.

Review decisions.Parent references Opportunities. Agree how operation key and retained effect references bind the decision to engineering inquiries.Id, Revision and drawing revision when reviewing an inquiry. Sharing an opportunity Parent does not identify a particular inquiry or its submitted scope.

Record attachments references the opportunity rather than an inquiry. Agree how evidence type and supporting references identify the applicable drawing when an opportunity has different technical requests. Operation receipts also references the opportunity; external reference and effect references are text that need an agreed interpretation, not automatically resolved foreign keys. Preserve the published Users.User self-reference and map team members.User to the actual user identity during migration.

Migration order

  1. Establish Organizations and Users with stable identifiers and the agreed identity mapping.
  2. Load Accounts and team members, then verify active membership and customer organization context.
  3. Load Opportunities with valid Counterparty and Owner references and preserved revisions.
  4. Load engineering inquiries, relationship activities and record attachments against their existing opportunity Parent; retain original file evidence and dates.
  5. Load review decisions and operation receipts with their original revisions, keys and effect references. Reconcile the source and rehearse denied access before release.
