Overview
AscendixRE is a commercial real estate CRM built on top of Salesforce, storing data in standard Salesforce objects (Account, Contact, Opportunity) plus custom CRE objects (Property, Listing, Lease, Capital Source). Odoo CRM uses a different architecture: crm.lead serves as both lead and opportunity, and res.partner covers both companies and contacts in a single model. The migration must translate Salesforce's AccountId lookups into Odoo's res.partner records, map AscendixRE's deal stages to Odoo's stage_id picklist values, and recreate CRE-specific objects (Properties, Listings, Availabilities) as custom fields or custom models in Odoo. We map AscendixRE Companies to Odoo res.partner records, Contacts to res.partner with partner_category tagging, Deals to crm.lead, and custom CRE objects to Odoo custom fields on crm.lead and res.partner. Owner resolution happens via email matching against Odoo users. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings) migrates to Odoo mail.message records with original timestamps. The cutover mechanism uses scoped Salesforce API read access with a delta-pickup window capturing any records modified during the transition period. Workflows, automation rules, and AscendixRE's stacking plan layouts cannot migrate — they require Odoo Studio or custom module development to rebuild. Reports and dashboards must be recreated in Odoo's reporting engine.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a AscendixRE 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.
AscendixRE
Account (Salesforce)
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Salesforce Account maps directly to Odoo res.partner with type='contact' set to False. Company name maps to name, website to website, industry to industry. Parent Account relationships become parent_id on res.partner. Multi-address records collapse to a single partner address with additional addresses stored as contact records.
AscendixRE
Contact (Salesforce)
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Salesforce Contact becomes Odoo res.partner with type='contact'. The linked AccountId resolves to a parent res.partner (company). Phone maps to phone, email to email, title to function. If a Contact has no AccountId in Salesforce, it becomes a standalone res.partner contact without a parent company.
AscendixRE
Opportunity (AscendixRE Deal)
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1AscendixRE Deals stored as Salesforce Opportunities migrate to Odoo crm.lead. Deal name becomes name, amount becomes planned_revenue, close_date becomes date_deadline, and stage maps to stage_id via value mapping. The opportunity_type field distinguishes 'opportunity' from 'lead' in Odoo's unified model. We also preserve the original Salesforce Opportunity ID in a custom external_id field for cross-reference and audit trails.
AscendixRE
Opportunity Stage (AscendixRE pipeline stage)
Odoo CRM
crm.stage
1:1Each AscendixRE deal stage value requires a mapped Odoo crm.stage record. We create stage records in Odoo matching the source stage names and sequence order. Probability values from Salesforce stage mapping transfer as stage_id probability percentage. Custom stage colors in AscendixRE do not transfer — stage appearance is Odoo-specific.
AscendixRE
Property (AscendixRE custom object)
Odoo CRM
crm.lead custom field (Property_Code__c)
1:1AscendixRE Property records have no Odoo native equivalent. We create custom fields on crm.lead: property_name, property_address, property_type, building_class, and square_footage as char and float fields. Property records without a linked Deal become standalone res.partner entries with property_reference custom field. Each custom field includes a help tooltip describing the expected data format and any validation rules applied during import.
AscendixRE
Listing (AscendixRE custom object)
Odoo CRM
crm.lead custom field (Listing_ID__c)
1:1AscendixRE Listings store availability data linked to Properties. We map Listing name to listing_name, availability_status to listing_status (as selection field), and available_square_feet to available_sqft custom field on crm.lead. Multiple listings per property become multiple crm.lead records or are combined into a single lead with listing_ids as a text field.
AscendixRE
Lease (AscendixRE custom object)
Odoo CRM
res.partner custom field or notes
1:1AscendixRE Lease records track tenant lease data. We create custom fields on res.partner for lease_status, lease_start_date, lease_end_date, and monthly_rent. Complex lease terms (CAM, TI allowances) are stored as lease_terms text field for admin reference. Full lease document management requires Odoo tenant_management module.
AscendixRE
Capital Source (AscendixRE custom object)
Odoo CRM
res.partner custom field
1:1AscendixRE Capital Source tracks investor/lender data. We map capital_source_name to a custom char field on res.partner, capital_type to a selection field (debt, equity, mezzanine), and committed_amount to a float field. Investor pipeline tracking requires separate custom model or project module.
AscendixRE
Task / Event (Salesforce Activity)
Odoo CRM
mail.message / crm.lead.activity
1:1Salesforce Tasks and Events migrate to Odoo mail.message records attached to crm.lead or res.partner. Original create_date, user_id, and description preserve the activity timeline. Meeting events with duration map to Odoo's activity_date_deadline and activity_type fields. For recurring tasks, we create multiple mail.message entries, each stamped with the original recurrence date. Attachments on tasks are stored as ir.attachment linked to the parent record.
AscendixRE
Attachment / Salesforce File
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment
1:1Salesforce Files (ContentDocument) are downloaded and re-uploaded to Odoo ir.attachment linked to the corresponding res.partner or crm.lead record. File size is validated against Odoo's 10MB recommended limit; files over 10MB are flagged for manual review or chunked upload. We also preserve the original ContentDocument ID in a custom field for traceability, and retain the file's public URL if available in Salesforce.
AscendixRE
User / Owner (Salesforce)
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Salesforce OwnerId resolves to Odoo res.users by email matching. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — teams either pre-create Odoo users or assign records to a default migration owner. Salesforce role-based sharing rules do not transfer; Odoo's record rules apply.
AscendixRE
Salesforce Report / Dashboard
Odoo CRM
Not migrated
1:1Salesforce reports and dashboards cannot migrate to Odoo. Underlying data migrates, but report definitions must be recreated in Odoo's reporting module. We provide a report mapping worksheet listing source report metrics and their Odoo equivalents. The worksheet also includes recommended Odoo report types (e.g., pivot, graph) for each source report to guide the rebuild.

Migration approach
Extract Salesforce data via Bulk API with AscendixRE custom object scope
We authenticate against your Salesforce org using scoped read access (no write permissions required). We export Account, Contact, Opportunity, and AscendixRE custom objects (Property, Listing, Lease, Capital Source) via Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 in CSV format. Files are chunked to 50,000 records per batch. We pull ActivityHistory for Tasks and Events with original timestamps and owner IDs. Attachments are downloaded from ContentDocument via REST API with 25MB per file.
Resolve Salesforce owner IDs to Odoo res.users by email matching
Salesforce OwnerId references on Opportunity and custom objects are resolved against Odoo res.users by email address. We generate a pre-flight owner resolution report listing matched users and any unmatched owners. Teams either pre-create the missing Odoo users or provide a fallback user assignment rule before migration runs. Records without a resolvable owner are assigned to the migration administrator. The match uses a case‑insensitive email lookup, and a fallback to a dedicated migration administrator can be set in the configuration.
Create Odoo custom fields for AscendixRE CRE objects before data import
Before any data lands in Odoo, we create the required custom fields on crm.lead and res.partner using Odoo XML-RPC: property_name, property_address, square_footage, listing_status, lease_status, capital_source_type on the lead; and lease_dates, capital_commitment on the partner. Custom field creation requires Odoo admin credentials or a user with Technical Settings access. We first retrieve the current field definitions via the /res/model/fields endpoint, then insert each new field with appropriate type (char, float, selection) and help text. The process is idempotent; duplicate field creation attempts are safely skipped. All fields are created with company_dependent=False unless you require multi‑company scoping.
Migrate res.partner records first, then crm.lead with resolved partner_id
We sequence the migration: res.partner (Accounts and Contacts) load first, then crm.lead (Opportunities) with partner_id linking to the newly created partner records. Activity records (mail.message) attach to their parent records by external ID mapping. Stacking plan and commission fields populate via the custom field mappings defined in the field mapping table. Each batch is validated against Odoo schema constraints before committing.
Run sample migration with field-level diff, then delta-pickup cutover
A representative sample (200–500 records) migrates first against a staging Odoo database. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source Salesforce field values to destination Odoo field values for all mapped fields. You review the diff, approve the mapping, or request adjustments. After approval, the full migration runs against production Odoo. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any Salesforce records modified during cutover. Audit log tracks every create and update operation.
Deliver reconciliation report and rebuild reference for workflows
Post-migration, we deliver a reconciliation report listing: total records migrated per object, records skipped with reason codes, owner resolution summary, and field-level mismatch counts. We also export your AscendixRE workflow definitions as a JSON reference document for your Odoo admin to use when rebuilding automation rules in Odoo Studio. Reports and dashboards must be recreated manually in Odoo's reporting module — we provide a metric mapping worksheet.
