Overview
Moving from Cirrus CRM to Odoo CRM is a structural migration driven by the desire for an integrated CRM plus ERP platform versus a standalone CRM. Cirrus CRM stores quote-to-order data with real-time ERP synchronization; when migrating away from that setup, we must validate ERP sync health at extraction time, because stale financial fields in Cirrus CRM directly reflect broken sync rather than deleted data. Odoo CRM ships as part of the Odoo business suite, giving teams a CRM module integrated with accounting, inventory, sales orders, and project management without third-party middleware. The migration requires explicit dependency sequencing: Companies, then Contacts, then Deals, then Quotes, then Orders. We do not migrate Cirrus CRM workflows, automations, or pipeline definitions as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer to rebuild in Odoo Studio or via custom modules. Timeline ranges from four to eight weeks for straightforward record migration to ten to fourteen weeks when Quote-to-Order chain complexity, custom field schema, and ERP relationship preservation are factored in.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Cirrus 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.
Cirrus CRM
Company
Odoo CRM
Partner (res.partner, type=company)
1:1Cirrus CRM Company records map to Odoo res.partner records with partner_type=company. Company credit information and geographic enrichment (latitude/longitude) from Cirrus CRM map to custom fields on the Partner record. We preserve the original Cirrus CRM company ID as an external identifier field to support future reconciliation. Odoo uses Partner for both companies and contacts; we set type=company on these records and contact records link to their parent company via parent_id.
Cirrus CRM
Contact
Odoo CRM
Partner (res.partner, type=contact)
1:1Cirrus CRM Contact records map to Odoo res.partner records with type=contact and parent_id pointing to the corresponding company Partner. Email, phone, address, and custom field data transfer directly. The Contact-to-Company relationship resolves via the parent_id reference after the Company Partner is created. We validate email uniqueness in Odoo during import and flag duplicates for the customer admin to resolve before committing.
Cirrus CRM
Deal
Odoo CRM
CRM Lead or Opportunity
lossyCirrus CRM Deals map to Odoo crm.lead. We ask the customer during scoping whether they prefer Leads (unqualified prospects) or Opportunities (pipeline deals) as the destination type, as Odoo CRM treats these as stages on the same record with a Convert-to-Opportunity action. Deal monetary value maps to Odoo's planned_revenue field, and the Cirrus CRM deal stage label maps to an Odoo stage within the designated team pipeline.
Cirrus CRM
Pipeline
Odoo CRM
CRM Team + Stage
lossyCirrus CRM pipeline definitions (stage names, order, win/loss criteria) do not export with deal records. We extract the stage labels from Cirrus CRM deal records during discovery and configure corresponding Odoo CRM stages and teams. If the customer wants pipeline automation triggers migrated, we document the current Cirrus CRM stage-change rules as Odoo Studio actions for the admin to rebuild.
Cirrus CRM
Quote
Odoo CRM
Sale Order (quotation)
1:1Cirrus CRM Quotes map to Odoo sale.order records in quotation state. Quote line items map to sale.order.line with product reference, quantity, and unit price. Cirrus CRM product-line associations require explicit preservation; we map the Cirrus CRM product reference to Odoo product.product and validate product.active status before linking. If the Cirrus CRM Quote references a Deal, we link the Odoo quotation to the corresponding Odoo crm.lead via opportunity_id.
Cirrus CRM
Order
Odoo CRM
Sale Order (confirmed)
1:1Cirrus CRM Orders map to Odoo sale.order records with state=done or state=sale (confirmed, pending delivery). The Quote-to-Order chain in Cirrus CRM must map to Odoo's sale.order and the source quotation reference preserved via origin field. Order-to-invoice relationships migrate to Odoo account.move records; we validate that the Odoo accounting module is active before mapping, as invoice records require the Invoicing app.
Cirrus CRM
Activity
Odoo CRM
Mail Activity
1:1Cirrus CRM Activities (calls, emails, tasks, meetings) linked to Contact or Deal records map to Odoo mail.activity records. Activity type (call, email, meeting, task) maps to Odoo's activity_type_id, and the original timestamp preserves in activity_date. We link activities to the correct Odoo res.partner or crm.lead via res_id and res_model. Odoo's Activity model requires the CRM app to be installed; we confirm app availability during discovery.
Cirrus CRM
Campaign
Odoo CRM
UTM Campaign + CRM Lead
lossyCirrus CRM Campaign records (objectives, campaign-level metrics) map to Odoo utm.campaign records if the Odoo Marketing app is installed. If only CRM is installed, we attach campaign context as a custom Char field on crm.lead. Individual campaign member associations require the customer to confirm scope during discovery; we do not create campaign member objects unless the Marketing app is in scope.
Cirrus CRM
Custom Fields (Contacts, Companies, Deals)
Odoo CRM
Custom Fields (ir.model.fields)
lossyCirrus CRM tenant-specific custom fields require field-by-field mapping and type inference validation. We request a screenshot or export of the Cirrus CRM field configuration before migration. Each custom field is pre-created in Odoo via XML or Studio with the correct field type (Char, Text, Integer, Float, Date, Selection, Many2one) validated in a test batch of 50 records before the full import. Multi-select or checkbox custom fields in Cirrus CRM map to Odoo many2many or selection fields depending on the data shape.
Cirrus CRM
User/Owner
Odoo CRM
User (res.users)
1:1Cirrus CRM User records map to Odoo res.users by email address. Owner assignments on Deals, Quotes, and Orders resolve via user_id or user_ids fields in Odoo. We extract every distinct HubSpot Owner or Cirrus CRM assigned user referenced on records and match by email against the Odoo destination instance. Missing users go to a reconciliation queue for the customer admin to provision before record import continues.
Cirrus CRM
Attachment
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment
1:1Cirrus CRM attachments export as individual files per record (one file per attachment, not bundled). We batch-associate these to the correct Odoo ir.attachment records by filename parsing and provide a manifest mapping each file to its target res_model and res_id. Attachments exceeding 10 MB are flagged for manual handling to avoid Odoo attachment size limits. We link attachments to the correct partner or lead record based on the filename record reference.
Cirrus CRM
ERP financial fields (Deal, Order)
Odoo CRM
account.move / custom fields
1:1Cirrus CRM Deal and Order records may carry live ERP financial data (invoice status, payment history, account balance) from the bidirectional sync layer. We check ERP sync health before extraction and flag any records with timestamps before the last confirmed sync. If sync is healthy, we migrate the financial field values as custom fields on the Odoo record. If sync is broken, we document the stale state and let the customer decide whether to remediate sync or accept the last-known values.

Migration approach
Discovery and sync health validation
We audit the source Cirrus CRM instance for record counts across Companies, Contacts, Deals, Quotes, Orders, Activities, Campaigns, and custom fields. We validate ERP sync health by querying record update timestamps against the last confirmed sync event and flag any Deals or Orders with stale financial data. We extract the pipeline stage labels used in Cirrus CRM and confirm the customer's Odoo instance has the CRM app installed and active. The discovery output is a written scope document, a sync health report, and a Quote-to-Order dependency map.
Schema design and custom field pre-creation
We configure the Odoo destination schema before any data moves. This includes installing the CRM app if not already active, creating Odoo CRM stages mapped from Cirrus CRM pipeline labels, pre-creating custom fields on res.partner and crm.lead using Odoo Studio or XML with types validated against the customer's field configuration export, and confirming the Invoicing app is active if Order-to-invoice mapping is in scope. Schema changes deploy to a staging environment first.
Test batch and field mapping validation
We run a test batch of 50 records through the full import pipeline using production-like data shapes. We validate custom field type mapping (text, number, date, picklist), email uniqueness on Contact records, and Quote-to-Order relationship resolution. Any mapping errors or type mismatches are corrected before scaling to the full dataset. The customer reviews the test batch and signs off before production migration begins.
Data cleansing and deduplication
We run deduplication across Cirrus CRM Contacts and Companies using email address and company name as match keys. Duplicate records are flagged for the customer admin to decide which record to keep or merge. We clean address formatting, validate phone number structure, and standardize country and state fields to match Odoo's expected format. Records with missing required fields for Odoo import (email on Contact, name on Company) are isolated to a remediation queue.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency sequence: Companies (as Partner, type=company), Contacts (as Partner, type=contact with parent_id resolved), CRM Leads/Opportunities (with owner resolved to Odoo User), Quotes (as Sale Order quotations with Deal reference via opportunity_id), Orders (as confirmed Sale Orders with origin referencing the source quotation), Activities (as Mail Activity records linked to Partner or Lead), and Attachments (as ir.attachment records batched by target record). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We use Odoo's CSV import or XML-RPC API with batch chunking and rate-limit handling.
Cutover, delta sync, and workflow inventory handoff
We freeze Cirrus CRM writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window, then mark Odoo as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of Cirrus CRM workflows, automations, and pipeline stage-change triggers for the customer's Odoo admin or partner to rebuild in Odoo Studio or via custom modules. We do not migrate automation logic as code. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer team.
