How the model is organised

Owner and organization:

Organizations, clients owners and crew and subcontractors identify who owns and performs the work.

Project delivery:

Projects connect work packages, site milestones, subcontractor time and site expenses.

Commercial handoff:

Progress billings reference site milestones; project rollups summarize delivered and invoiced amounts.

Evidence:

Review decisions, operation receipts and record attachments hold decisions, outcomes and files.

Keys and references

A Projects record references clients owners, crew and subcontractors for its manager, and Organizations. Field activity and site milestones reference Projects. Progress billings reference site milestones. Record attachments use parent table name and parent record id to identify their parent; confirm those values during migration.

Migration order

  1. Load Organizations and crew and subcontractors.
  2. Load clients owners and Projects with their account, manager and organization references.
  3. Load site milestones, work packages, subcontractor time and site expenses against the project.
  4. Load progress billings against milestones, then related review decisions, operation receipts and record attachments.
  5. Check record counts, required names, references and project totals before operational use.
