Overview
Moving from APTANIA CRM to Odoo CRM is a structural migration constrained by APTANIA's manual-only export model and per-plan record ceiling. APTANIA does not publish an API, so all data extraction relies on in-platform export tools producing CSV or JSON files — we validate file completeness against record counts before import and cannot perform delta syncs without a full re-export. The Basic plan's 1000-record monthly ceiling requires scoping before migration; records exceeding this limit need a plan upgrade or staged migration across billing cycles. We sequence Accounts (from APTANIA Companies) before Contacts to satisfy Odoo's partner_id lookup requirement, preserve APTANIA's B2C/B2B flag as a custom field, and map pipeline stage names to Odoo's crm.lead stage values. Email automation rules, web tracking attribution, and trigger-based triggers do not export from APTANIA — we deliver a written inventory of all active automation rules with screenshots so your admin can rebuild them in Odoo's Studio and Automations module post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a APTANIA CRM object lands in Odoo CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
APTANIA CRM
Contact
Odoo CRM
Contact (res.partner)
1:1APTANIA Contact records map to Odoo res.partner with type = 'contact'. The B2C/B2B flag from APTANIA's customer-type property migrates as a custom field aptania_customer_type__c on the Odoo partner record. Email, phone, mobile, and address fields map 1:1. We resolve aptania_owner_id to an Odoo User by email match before importing partners so that the user_id (salesperson) field is populated. APTANIA's lifecycle stage or status property migrates as a custom Char or Selection field for reporting continuity.
APTANIA CRM
Company
Odoo CRM
Company (res.partner with type = 'company')
1:1APTANIA Company records map to Odoo res.partner with type = 'company'. The company-contact linkage is preserved by importing companies first (creating the res.partner record with type='company'), then importing contacts and setting the parent_id (child_of_company) field to the created company partner. Company name becomes the partner display name, and company website maps to website field on the Odoo partner.
APTANIA CRM
Deal
Odoo CRM
Opportunity (crm.lead)
1:1APTANIA Deal records map to Odoo crm.lead with type = 'opportunity'. Deal name maps to crm.lead name, monetary value maps to planned_revenue, close date maps to date_deadline, and APTANIA's pipeline stage name maps to Odoo's stage_id via a pre-built stage mapping table. The aptania_contact_id reference resolves to the Odoo res.partner parent_id at migration time. Deal status (open, won, lost) maps to Odoo's probability-based stage probability values.
APTANIA CRM
Pipeline
Odoo CRM
CRM Team + Stage
lossyAPTANIA pipeline stages map to Odoo CRM Stage records under a CRM Team. Each APTANIA pipeline becomes a separate CRM Team in Odoo with its own stage sequence. Stage probability values from APTANIA migrate to Odoo's stage probability percentages. If APTANIA uses multiple pipelines, we create corresponding Odoo CRM teams and assign the opportunity to the correct team during import.
APTANIA CRM
Activity
Odoo CRM
Task (project.task)
1:1APTANIA Activity logs (emails, calls, notes) map to Odoo project.task records under a dedicated migration project. Since APTANIA's activity schema is not publicly documented, we extract what is available in the export file (typically activity type, timestamp, description, and associated contact reference) and map to the Odoo task fields. We flag any unstructured or unparseable activity records in the data map for the customer's admin to review post-migration. Call-type activities set task_subtype = 'call' in Odoo.
APTANIA CRM
User
Odoo CRM
User (res.users)
1:1APTANIA user records map to Odoo res.users by email address match. APTANIA's role and permission structures do not map directly to Odoo's access-control groups (Sales / User types), so we flag permission differences for manual review. Any APTANIA user without a matching Odoo user email is held in a reconciliation queue for the admin to provision before record import resumes.
APTANIA CRM
Custom Property
Odoo CRM
Custom Field (ir.model.fields)
lossyAPTANIA custom fields are exported with field name and value but the full schema metadata (type, validation, picklist values) may be incomplete. We recreate custom properties in Odoo as ir.model.fields using Char, Selection, or Float types as inferred from the data values. Multi-select custom properties from APTANIA map to Odoo char fields with comma-separated values or to tags (mail.message.subtype) depending on the data pattern. The customer reviews and approves the inferred field types during sandbox validation.
APTANIA CRM
Email Automation Rules
Odoo CRM
Automations (ir.actions.server)
lossyAPTANIA email automation rules do not export. We document all active rules from screenshots provided by the customer during scoping and deliver a written inventory that maps each APTANIA trigger condition (field change, inactivity timer, event type) to an Odoo ir.actions.server record or scheduled action. The customer's admin rebuilds the automations in Odoo Studio using the handoff document as the specification. This is out-of-scope as a code migration.
APTANIA CRM
Web Traffic Attribution
Odoo CRM
Not migrated
1:1APTANIA's channel attribution data (referrer, UTM parameters, landing page history) does not export via standard tools and is not portable to Odoo. We flag this gap in the data map. For future attribution, we recommend configuring Odoo website tracking (via the Odoo website module with Google Analytics integration) or a third-party tag manager before go-live. Historical attribution data is lost at migration.
APTANIA CRM
Record limits
Odoo CRM
Scoped by plan
lossyAPTANIA's Basic plan limits to 1,000 records per month. During scoping, we count total Contact, Company, Deal, and Activity records. If total records exceed 1,000, we recommend upgrading to the Standard (£996/month, 4,000 records) or Enterprise (£1,596/month, 8,000 records) plan before migration begins. Alternatively, we stage the migration across billing cycles: migrate the first batch within the ceiling, then resume after the reset date. We flag over-limit records for the customer to archive or delete before migration.
APTANIA CRM
B2C/B2B flag
Odoo CRM
Custom partner field
lossyAPTANIA's B2C versus B2B classification lives as a property on Contact records. In Odoo, this does not have a native equivalent since res.partner handles both types. We preserve the classification as a custom Selection field aptania_customer_type__c with values 'B2C' and 'B2B' on the partner record, enabling reporting segmentation after migration.
APTANIA CRM
Email Templates
Odoo CRM
Mail Template (mail.template)
lossyAPTANIA email marketing templates (sent within the platform) are not exported via standard tools. We document the template list visible in APTANIA's UI during scoping and recommend that the customer exports template content manually (copy/paste or screenshot) before migration. Odoo Mail Templates are rebuilt in Odoo's Email Marketing app using the documented content. Template configuration is out-of-scope for data migration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Scoping and record-count audit
We audit the APTANIA account against the Basic plan ceiling by counting all Contact, Company, Deal, Activity, and User records. If total records approach or exceed 1,000, we advise on plan upgrade or staged migration. We also document active pipelines, custom properties, and automation rules visible in the UI, requesting screenshot capture of all email automation rules and pipeline stage configurations. This output is a written migration scope specifying the export method, record counts, and whether staging is required.
Data export and file validation
The customer performs the manual APTANIA export using the in-platform export tool. We validate the exported file against the record counts visible in APTANIA, checking for truncation, encoding issues, or missing fields. We parse the activity and deal schemas from the file to infer field mappings to Odoo objects. Any gaps in the export (missing fields, partial records) are flagged before import design begins. We cannot perform a delta sync without a full re-export, so timing the export close to the migration date is critical.
Odoo schema configuration
We configure the destination Odoo CRM schema before any data loads. This includes creating custom fields (aptania_customer_type__c, aptania_lifecycle_stage__c, and any fields for custom properties), setting up CRM Teams per APTANIA pipeline, configuring stage sequences with probability values matched to APTANIA's stage definitions, and reviewing the res.users table to identify missing users. Odoo configuration happens in a sandbox or staging database first. The customer provisions any missing Odoo users so that owner assignments resolve at migration time.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Odoo sandbox using the exported APTANIA data. The customer reconciles record counts (Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Tasks), spot-checks 25-50 records against the APTANIA source, and validates that pipeline stages and custom field values match expectations. Any field-mapping corrections, missing stage values, or custom field type adjustments are documented and applied to the migration script before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (creating res.partner records with type='company'), then Contacts (resolving parent_id to the created company partner), then Opportunities (resolving partner_id and team_id), then Tasks (resolving user_id and project_id), then custom field values. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. If the record count exceeds the APTANIA ceiling during migration, we pause, document the paused records, and advise on billing-cycle staging or plan upgrade.
Cutover, automation handoff, and post-migration support
We freeze APTANIA writes during the cutover window, run a final delta export for any records modified during the migration window, then confirm Odoo as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document (from the pre-migration screenshots) to the customer's admin, mapping each APTANIA trigger rule to an Odoo ir.actions.server or scheduled action recommendation. We support a five-business-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild APTANIA automations as Odoo actions inside the migration scope; that is a separate configuration engagement.
