Failed to import Business Process 'Lead to Opportunity Sales Process' in Microsoft Dynamic 365 CRM

I am here to explain one problem that I faced, when doing import of a solution in Microsoft Dynamic 356 CRM environment. I got an exception when I tried to import my managed solution from one Dynamic 356 CRM environment to other newly instantiated one.

Before I promote my solution to Production instance, I wanted to make sure that my solution is error free and there is no component dependency, which usually one have faced during import of a solution.

So I decided to make a new test environment and do testing there and if everything is working well, I can take further steps to move it to production environment.

I did some of the changes in existing standard business process flow like removing some of the fields and adding few as my client business requirements. When I exported the solution both in managed and un-managed formed, I did not receive any complaints from Dynamic CRM platform.

When I tried to import the managed solution to my new test environment, the import wizard complains about below listed error.

Failed to import Business Process 'Lead to Opportunity Sales Process' because solution does not include corresponding Business Process entity 'leadtoopportunitysalesprocess'.

Failed to import Business Process 'Opportunity Sales Process' because solution does not include corresponding Business Process entity 'opportunitysalesprocess'.

Solution:

We need to add corresponding entity to our solution, as we did some changes in Standard out the box business process.

• These corresponding entities do not appear under standard entity list.
• They also don’t get added when you may try to add all required components.
•  In fact, I found them under 1:N relationship of respective entity.

Here is a screen shot of an Opportunity Sales Process as a Related entity which appear in 1:N relationship of Opportunity entity.

Similarly, we can add Lead to opportunity Sales Process entity under 1:N relationship of Lead entity. Once we do this, we can see both entities which were missing in above exception are listed in entities list of solution.

After adding these entities, my import customization went successful.
