Four comparison layersForms, Data Entities, and Tables across F&O and CE
Versionz Product360° COMPARISON FOR MICROSOFT DYNAMICS 365
Compare Dynamics 365 data across every layer and every environment.
The D365 Comparison Tool compares D365 F&O Forms, Data Entities, Tables, and D365 CE Tables - from one web-based platform.
Four comparison layers. One platform.
Most D365 data comparison approaches stop at one layer. This covers four - from the Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations form a user works in, down to the table beneath it, and across to Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement.
Functional layer
D365 F&O Form-to-Form comparison
Compare from the D365 F&O form your team already works in - no table or entity knowledge needed.
Migration and integration layer
D365 F&O Data Entity comparison
Compare standard and custom Data Entities across D365 environments to confirm migrations, integrations, and refreshes landed correctly.
Technical data layer
D365 F&O Table-to-Table comparison
Compare standard and custom F&O Tables to trace any difference back to the underlying data.
Customer Engagement layer
Dynamics 365 CE Table comparison
Compare standard and custom D365 CE Tables - CRM validation on the same platform as ERP.
Supported D365 environments

A guided wizard to configure a run, and an interactive dashboard to read the results.
D365 F&O Form-to-Form comparison
Compare what your users actually see.
Open the D365 F&O form you already work in, pick a source and a target environment, and read the same data side by side - record by record, field by field, per legal entity.
It answers the question that stalls a release: is this form showing the same data in UAT as in Production?
D365 F&O Data Entity comparison
Compare standard and custom data entities.
Migrations, deployments, integrations, and environment refreshes all move data entity by entity - the level to validate them at. Coverage includes:
- Standard and custom Data Entities
- Master data
- Reference data
- Configuration data
- Transactional data
- Migration datasets
D365 F&O Table-to-Table comparison
Deep comparison at the table level.
When a form difference has no obvious cause, drop to the table - standard and custom Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations Tables, across D365 environments. Use it for:
- Customization and extension testing
- Configuration verification
- Deployment verification
- Troubleshooting and root-cause analysis
Dynamics 365 CE comparison
Bring ERP and CRM comparison together.
The D365 Comparison Tool is not limited to Finance & Operations. Compare Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Tables from the same web application. Coverage includes:
- Standard and custom CE Tables
- Custom columns and fields
- CRM business data
- Configuration and reference data
COMPARISON MATRIX
Which comparison layer should you use?
Four layers across Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations and Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, each answering a different question. Start with the team asking it.
| Comparison layer | Platform | Best for | What it validates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Form-to-Form | D365 F&O | Functional and QA teams | Business-facing data, as users see it |
| Data Entity | D365 F&O | Migration and integration teams | Entity datasets, as a load moves them |
| Table-to-Table | D365 F&O | Technical teams | Underlying data, for root-cause tracing |
| CE Table | D365 CE | CRM and Power Platform teams | CRM records and configuration |
Stop comparing Dynamics 365 manually
Every layer above replaces the same manual routine - spreadsheet exports, ad-hoc scripts, database queries, and separate ERP and CRM tools. One platform covers Dynamics 365 data comparison end to end: environment comparison, migration validation, deployment validation.
WHO IT SERVES
Compare at the level you need.
Every team needs a different depth of detail. The platform covers all four layers, so each one starts where it is already fluent.
Talk to Sales
Functional consultants
Validate business data through the D365 F&O forms you already use.
Technical consultants
Trace a difference from the form down to the underlying table.
Data migration teams
Verify migrated datasets landed complete in the target environment.
CRM & Power Platform teams
Validate standard and custom D365 CE records across environments.
QA & testing teams
Compare before and after a release for regression testing and sign-off.
Solution architects
See consistency across the whole Dynamics 365 landscape, ERP and CRM.
DIFFERENCE TYPES
See every difference clearly.
Every comparison returns the same five categories, so you act on meaningful differences instead of sifting through raw exports.
Source only
Missing records
Present in the source, absent from the target.
Target only
Additional records
Present in the target, absent from the source.
Matched pair
Modified records
Matching records holding different values.
Field level
Field-level differences
Exactly which fields differ, side by side.
Setup data
Configuration differences
Variations in application configuration and setup data.
LIFECYCLE
Built for the complete Dynamics 365 lifecycle.
Every stage asks a different validation question. Run a comparison when you need an answer, and schedule it when you need continuous confidence.
Before deployment
Establish a baseline before releasing changes.
After deployment
Confirm the release landed as expected.
During data migration
Verify migrated datasets arrived complete in the target.
After environment refresh
Confirm a refreshed environment carries the data and configuration teams need.
During testing
Give QA a factual baseline for regression and release sign-off.
During production operations
Watch critical data on a schedule and catch drift early.
Continuous validation
FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Dynamics 365 applications does the D365 Comparison Tool support?
Both. Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations at the Form, Data Entity, and Table level, and Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Tables - from one web application.
Do I need to know the underlying tables to run a comparison?
No. Form-to-Form Comparison starts from the D365 F&O form you already work in, so functional consultants, QA teams, business analysts and business users can compare without knowing the underlying table or data entity.
Which environments can be compared?
Any two D365 environments, in either direction. The Pre-Production tier applies to D365 F&O; D365 CE runs Development through Production.
What kinds of differences does it detect?
Record-level, field-level and configuration differences, each categorized automatically - see Difference Types for the full breakdown.
Can comparisons run automatically instead of on demand?
Yes. Schedule daily, weekly or monthly runs with automated email notifications, difference reports, and historical results for drift tracking.
THE BOTTOM LINE
One platform. One dashboard. 360° Dynamics 365 comparison.
Validate Dynamics 365 environments faster, identify differences earlier, and move deployments and migrations forward with confidence.
