When assets are migrated into Communications Cloud, Salesforce best practices require performing a ''No-Change MACD Order'' after data loading. This process creates a technical MACD order that does not modify any service, but instead tests whether the MACD orchestration, decomposition, and asset-based ordering logic work correctly with the migrated asset records.

Salesforce documentation explains that migrated assets must be fully compatible with:

Order decomposition mappings

Technical product relationships

Association to Service Accounts, Billing Accounts, Premises

Child/parent asset hierarchies

Fulfillment Request Line generation

Change order processing (A B transitions)

A no-change MACD validates that the migrated assets are structurally correct and ''MACD-ready.'' If this test fails, the migration did not properly map assets to the Communications Cloud asset data model.

Options A and C overlap with validation but do not address MACD execution. Option B (Inventory Items) is not created through MACD and is unrelated.
