Overview
ChartMogul and Odoo CRM serve fundamentally different data roles. ChartMogul is a subscription analytics platform that aggregates MRR, ARR, and churn from connected billing sources (Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly) into investor-grade metric dashboards. Its CRM module is lightweight by design, tracking contacts, deals, and activities without deep pipeline intelligence. Odoo CRM is the front-end sales layer of a full ERP suite that includes native Subscriptions, Invoicing, and Inventory modules, giving teams a unified view of pipeline, revenue, and operations. The migration is therefore not a like-for-like CRM swap but a data consolidation: we decompose ChartMogul's two-level customer hierarchy into Odoo Partners, map active subscriptions to Odoo Subscriptions or sale orders, preserve invoice history as account moves, and recalculate MRR movements in the destination rather than exporting ChartMogul's pre-computed metric tables. Forecast data and cohort analytics do not migrate because they are derived outputs, not raw records. We deliver a written inventory of ChartMogul automations and CRM configurations requiring rebuild in Odoo's Studio-based workflow builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ChartMogul 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.
ChartMogul
Customer (parent record)
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1ChartMogul's parent Customer record (holding name, email, address, tags, custom attributes, opportunities, notes, and call logs) maps directly to Odoo res.partner. The ChartMogul customer external_id becomes the partner's external_id field for reconciliation. Address data from the parent customer migrates to the partner's address fields; if the customer has multiple billing addresses, child contact records are created under the partner with type set to invoice or delivery.
ChartMogul
Data Source Customer (child record)
Odoo CRM
sale.subscription or res.partner
1:manyChartMogul creates one Data Source Customer per billing source per logical customer. In Odoo CRM without the Subscriptions module, we map these to the parent res.partner with billing source stored in a custom field partner/chartmogul_datasource. If Odoo Subscriptions is installed, each Data Source Customer becomes a separate sale.subscription record linked to the parent partner. The mapping decision is made during scoping based on whether the customer licenses Odoo Subscriptions and whether they want subscription-level MRR tracking in Odoo.
ChartMogul
Subscription
Odoo CRM
sale.subscription or sale.order
1:1ChartMogul Subscriptions (plan_id, quantity, billing interval, MRR contribution, status) map to Odoo sale.subscription if the Subscriptions module is present, or to sale.order records if it is not. Plan name from ChartMogul becomes the subscription template name; quantity and interval map to recurring_quantity and recurring_interval; MRR contribution is stored as a custom computed field or migrated as note text for admin reference. Active, trialing, and cancelled subscriptions migrate with their status preserved.
ChartMogul
Plan
Odoo CRM
sale.subscription.template
1:1ChartMogul Plan definitions (name, interval, amount, currency, trial period) map to Odoo sale.subscription.template. The plan's billing interval maps to Odoo's recurring_rule_count and recurring_rule_type fields. Multiple ChartMogul plans that share the same name and interval are deduplicated into a single template in Odoo during import. If Odoo Subscriptions is not present, Plan definitions are stored as custom fields on the partner record or in a dedicated product template.
ChartMogul
Invoice
Odoo CRM
account.move
1:1ChartMogul invoice records (line items, amounts, taxes, transaction fees, invoice date, status) map to Odoo account.move records with move_type = out_invoice for open invoices and out_refund for credits. ChartMogul invoice number becomes the Odoo invoice reference; invoice date maps to invoice_date. Transaction fee amounts are stored in a custom field on the account.move.line since Odoo does not automatically deduct processor fees like ChartMogul does. The transaction fee handling setting from ChartMogul is read at scoping and applied consistently to all migrated invoices.
ChartMogul
Transaction
Odoo CRM
account.payment
1:1ChartMogul transactions (payments, refunds, chargebacks) map to Odoo account.payment records linked to the corresponding account.move. Payment date, amount, and payment_method_type migrate directly. ChartMogul's transaction type field (payment, refund, chargeback) maps to Odoo's payment_type and partner_type. For partially refunded invoices, we create individual payment records that sum to the total refunded amount, linked to the original account.move.
ChartMogul
Opportunity
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1ChartMogul Opportunities (deal stage, value, owner, probability, expected close date) map to Odoo crm.lead. ChartMogul's dealstage property maps to the Odoo crm.stage id via a pre-migration stage name match. Deal value maps to Odoo's expected_revenue or a custom currency-amount field. Owner assignment resolves by email against Odoo res.users, with unresolved owners placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin. ChartMogul's win/loss reasons map to Odoo stage as custom fields or tag values.
ChartMogul
Pipeline
Odoo CRM
crm.team
lossyChartMogul deal pipelines (up to 15 on Professional, 100 on Enterprise) map to Odoo crm.team records. Each team gets a name matching the ChartMogul pipeline name and its own Kanban view with stages scoped to that team. If the customer uses only one pipeline in ChartMogul, it maps to the default Odoo Sales Team crm.team.
ChartMogul
Deal Stage
Odoo CRM
crm.stage
lossyChartMogul deal stages map to Odoo crm.stage records within the mapped crm.team. Stage probability percentages migrate from ChartMogul and are stored in the stage record or in a custom field probability_override. Any ChartMogul stage that does not match a default Odoo stage is pre-created before the Opportunity import runs, so that stage_id references resolve at insert time.
ChartMogul
Tag
Odoo CRM
res.partner.category
1:1ChartMogul tags (flat string labels on the parent Customer) map to Odoo res.partner.category (the Tags model). We create any tag in ChartMogul that does not already exist in Odoo before importing partners. Partner category assignments migrate as ir.model.data records linking the partner to the tag. Tag counts and segmentation filters from ChartMogul are preserved in Odoo as partner category membership.
ChartMogul
Custom Attribute
Odoo CRM
res.partner (custom fields)
lossyChartMogul customer-level custom attributes (key-value pairs) map to custom fields on res.partner created via Odoo Studio before migration. Text attributes become char fields; numeric attributes become float or integer fields; date attributes become date fields; multi-select attributes become char fields with comma-separated values or many2many tag fields depending on cardinality. Attributes synced from Pipedrive or HubSpot via ChartMogul's two-way CRM sync are flagged during scoping so the customer can decide whether to keep them as static values or discontinue the sync in the new Odoo environment.
ChartMogul
Note and Call Log
Odoo CRM
mail.message
1:1ChartMogul Notes and Call Logs (unstructured text attached to the parent Customer) map to Odoo mail.message records on the res.partner chatter. We create one mail.message per note or call log with message_type = comment and body containing the original text. Call duration and disposition from ChartMogul call logs migrate as custom fields on the mail.message record. Mail message records are linked to the res.partner via res_id and model so they appear in the partner's activity and communication timeline.
ChartMogul
Task
Odoo CRM
mail.activity
1:1ChartMogul Tasks (due date, assignee, completion status, subject, body) map to Odoo mail.activity records linked to the res.partner. Open tasks migrate with their assigned owner resolved by email to an Odoo res.users record. Completed tasks with no future action are migrated as mail.message records (chatter comments) rather than mail.activity since Odoo activities represent forward-looking work items. The ChartMogul task status (open, completed) determines whether a mail.activity or mail.message is created.
ChartMogul
MRR Movement
Odoo CRM
sale.subscription (recalculated)
1:1ChartMogul MRR movements (new business, expansion, contraction, churn) are computed metric records tied to subscription state changes. Odoo does not store MRR movements as discrete records; instead, MRR is calculated dynamically from sale.subscription state. We do not migrate ChartMogul's MRR movement table. We migrate the underlying subscriptions and invoices, and MRR is recalculated from those records in Odoo after migration. The customer reviews the recalculated MRR against ChartMogul's last known value as a validation step.
ChartMogul
Forecast Data
Odoo CRM
Not migrated
lossyChartMogul Forecast projections are computed dynamically from MRR trends and are not exportable as structured data. Odoo does not have a native forecast projection feature in its standard CRM or Subscriptions modules (BI reporting is a separate module). We do not migrate forecasts. We deliver a written record of the last known ChartMogul forecast values as reference data so the customer can re-establish their forecasting baseline in Odoo BI or a third-party BI tool post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the source ChartMogul account across billing sources (Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, PayPal, app stores), customer record count, subscription volume, invoice and transaction history depth, pipeline count, opportunity and task volume, and custom attribute inventory. We pair this with a destination Odoo instance review: which Odoo apps are licensed (CRM only, CRM plus Subscriptions, or full ERP), what custom fields already exist, and whether multi-company or multi-currency is in scope. The discovery output is a written migration scope document specifying which ChartMogul objects map to which Odoo models, a recommendation on whether to install Odoo Subscriptions before migration, and a list of automations and sequences requiring rebuild.
Schema design and Odoo configuration
We configure the Odoo destination before any data import. This includes installing required Odoo apps (CRM is mandatory; Subscriptions is recommended), creating custom fields on res.partner via Odoo Studio for ChartMogul custom attributes and billing source tracking, creating crm.team records for each ChartMogul pipeline, creating crm.stage records with probability percentages matching ChartMogul dealstages, configuring active currencies and exchange rate providers for multi-currency accounts, and setting up sale.subscription.template records from ChartMogul Plan definitions if Odoo Subscriptions is installed. Schema is validated in the Odoo test database before production migration begins.
Customer decomposition and parent-child resolution
We decompose every ChartMogul account into its parent Customer record and Data Source Customer children before Odoo import. The parent record's external_id is preserved as the primary res.partner external identifier. Data Source Customers are queued for mapping: if Odoo Subscriptions is present, each becomes a sale.subscription record; if not, the billing source is stored as a custom field on the parent partner. We validate that every invoice and transaction in ChartMogul is associated with a resolved parent partner before the Odoo import phase begins, preventing orphaned account.move records.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a test Odoo database using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reconciles record counts: partner count, subscription count (if applicable), invoice count, opportunity count, and activity count all match against ChartMogul exports. We spot-check 25-50 records across the migration, validate MRR totals against ChartMogul's last known MRR snapshot, and confirm pipeline stage assignments. Any mapping corrections, missing stage creations, or currency configuration gaps are resolved in this phase before the production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Odoo custom fields and stage configuration (already completed in step 2, re-validated), res.partner records (from ChartMogul parent Customers), sale.subscription records (from ChartMogul Data Source Customers and Subscriptions if Odoo Subscriptions is present), account.move invoices and account.payment transactions, crm.team and crm.stage setup, crm.lead opportunities, mail.message notes and call logs, mail.activity open tasks, and partner category tags. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. ChartMogul MRR movements and forecast data are documented as reference values for post-migration recalculation in Odoo.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze ChartMogul writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo as the system of record. We deliver the ChartMogul automation and sequence inventory document to the customer's admin team for Odoo Studio rebuild. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues raised by the Odoo sales team. We do not rebuild ChartMogul automations as Odoo Studio actions inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
