Overview
Moving from Claritysoft to Odoo CRM is a model-flattening migration. Claritysoft separates Contacts, Accounts, Leads, and Opportunities as distinct objects with Profile-Based Record Layouts that vary by user role; Odoo CRM uses crm.lead as a unified object for both unqualified prospects and opportunities, and res.partner for individuals and organizations that can serve as leads, customers, or vendors. We resolve that schema difference during scoping by splitting Claritysoft Leads and Opportunities into Odoo crm.lead records with stage values, and mapping Claritysoft Contacts and Accounts into res.partner with partner_type flags. Activity history (Tasks, Calls, Meetings) migrates via Odoo's XML-RPC API with parent-record resolution to the correct crm.lead and res.partner. Workflows, Automations, and Profile-Based Layouts do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's Odoo admin to rebuild using Odoo Studio or a consultant. Custom Modules and Advanced Custom Fields are available on Claritysoft Accelerator and Enterprise tiers only, which determines what API surface is available for export.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Claritysoft 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.
Claritysoft
Contact
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Claritysoft Contacts map to Odoo res.partner records with partner_type = 'contact'. We preserve first name, last name, email, phone, mobile, and street/city/state/zip/country address fields. The Claritysoft Account (company) association maps to a parent res.partner record with partner_type = 'company', and the Contact maps as a child of that company partner. We deduplicate on email address during import and flag any duplicates for customer review before commit.
Claritysoft
Account
Odoo CRM
res.partner (company)
1:1Claritysoft Accounts map to Odoo res.partner with partner_type = 'company'. Company name, website, industry, annual revenue, phone, and address fields migrate directly. We use the Claritysoft Account name as the res.partner display name and the domain from the website field as a secondary dedupe key if email deduplication yields no match.
Claritysoft
Lead
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1Claritysoft Leads with lifecycle stages (New, Contacted, Qualified) map to Odoo crm.lead records with type = 'lead'. The Claritysoft lead_status property maps to Odoo stage_id assignment. Any lead score or qualification rating stored in Claritysoft custom fields migrates to a custom Char or Integer field on crm.lead that we define during schema setup.
Claritysoft
Opportunity
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (opportunity)
1:1Claritysoft Opportunities map to Odoo crm.lead with type = 'opportunity'. Fields that map directly: name (deal name), planned_revenue (amount), probability (from Claritysoft probability %), stage_id (from Claritysoft pipeline stage), expected_closing_date (expected close date), and description. We resolve the linked Claritysoft Account to an Odoo res.partner partner_id and the Claritysoft Owner to an Odoo res.users user_id at migration time.
Claritysoft
Pipeline Stage
Odoo CRM
crm.stage
lossyEach Claritysoft pipeline becomes an Odoo Sales Team (crm.team) with its own crm.stage sequence. We preserve stage names, display order, and probability percentages as Odoo stage attributes (sequence, probability). If Claritysoft uses multiple pipelines, we create one Odoo crm.team per pipeline and assign stages to the corresponding team.
Claritysoft
Activity / Task / Call / Meeting
Odoo CRM
mail.message + project.task
1:manyClaritysoft Activities (Tasks, Calls, Meetings with timestamps and owners) map to a combination of Odoo mail.message records (for the activity body and metadata) and project.task records (for actionable tasks with due dates). Calls and Meetings with specific start/end times migrate as calendar.event records. All activity parent references resolve to the linked crm.lead or res.partner at migration time.
Claritysoft
Document and Attachment
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment
1:1Claritysoft Documents attached to Contact, Account, Lead, or Opportunity records migrate to Odoo ir.attachment linked via res_model and res_id to the corresponding crm.lead or res.partner. We extract file binary content, preserve the original filename, and set the attachment's res_field to the Odoo field name that holds the attachment reference.
Claritysoft
Custom Field (Accelerator+)
Odoo CRM
ir.model.field
lossyClaritysoft custom fields (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox, calculated) on Contacts, Accounts, Leads, and Opportunities map to Odoo ir.model.field definitions that we create during schema setup. We map Claritysoft field types to Odoo field types (Char, Integer, Float, Date, Selection, Boolean, Many2one). Calculated Custom Fields on Claritysoft Accelerator/Enterprise do not migrate as logic; we migrate the last-calculated value as a static field and document the calculated field definition for rebuild in Odoo Studio.
Claritysoft
Custom Module (Accelerator+)
Odoo CRM
ir.model
lossyClaritysoft Custom Modules (available on Accelerator and Enterprise tiers) map to Odoo custom models via ir.model. We create the Odoo model definition, add all custom fields as ir.model.field records, and import the module data into the corresponding Odoo table. Custom Modules are only migratable if the source account is on Accelerator or Enterprise; Professional-tier accounts must first upgrade or accept that Custom Module data cannot be accessed via API.
Claritysoft
Project (Accelerator+)
Odoo CRM
project.project
1:1Claritysoft Projects (available on Accelerator and Enterprise) map to Odoo project.project. Project name, description, start date, deadline, and status migrate directly. Project tasks migrate to project.task linked to the parent project. We resolve Claritysoft task assignees to Odoo res.users by email match.
Claritysoft
Helpdesk Ticket (Accelerator+)
Odoo CRM
helpdesk.ticket
1:1Claritysoft Helpdesk Tickets (Accelerator and Enterprise) map to Odoo helpdesk.ticket with title, description, priority, status, and assignee fields. Ticket conversation threads migrate as mail.message records linked to the ticket. Custom ticket fields map using the same ir.model.field approach as other custom objects.
Claritysoft
User / Owner
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Claritysoft Users who own records map to Odoo res.users by email match. We generate a user mapping table and flag any Claritysoft Owner without a matching Odoo User for the customer's admin to provision. The Claritysoft Access Profile and User Group model has no direct Odoo equivalent; we document the profile-to-Odoo security group mapping for the admin to configure post-migration in Settings > Users > Access Rights.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Claritysoft gotchas
API access gated behind tier — Professional users cannot export via API
1 million record limit on Enterprise tier is migration-critical for large datasets
API key inherits owner's permission scope — limited-user keys miss records
Workflow Date Triggers require Enterprise tier and do not migrate cleanly
Importing bad data is a known failure mode Claritysoft warns against
Odoo CRM gotchas
Odoo.sh version gating blocks assisted migrations from trial
Enterprise modules fail to install on Community after database restore
Custom module view inheritance breaks between Odoo major versions
Custom fields risk losing their application context on Community
API access for Community is gated behind the Custom Plan
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and API availability check
We audit the source Claritysoft account across tier (Professional/Accelerator/Enterprise), active modules, Custom Fields and Custom Modules, pipeline count, workflow definitions, and record volume per object. We confirm whether the account is on Accelerator or Enterprise (required for API access), check the 1-million-record Enterprise limit, and generate an API key from an admin-level account to verify permission coverage. We pair this with Odoo edition selection: Odoo Community (free, self-hosted or Odoo Online free tier) covers most migrations; Odoo Apps (CRM + Studio at $27-$36/user) adds the configuration UI needed for custom field creation without XML editing.
Schema design and Odoo model provisioning
We design the destination Odoo schema based on the Claritysoft data model. This includes creating custom fields on res.partner (contact fields not in the base Odoo model), creating custom fields on crm.lead (Opportunity-specific fields like deal amount and probability), configuring crm.stage entries to match Claritysoft pipeline stages and probabilities, and setting up crm.team entries per Claritysoft pipeline. If Custom Modules exist on Accelerator or Enterprise, we create corresponding ir.model records and their ir.model.field definitions. Schema is deployed into a staging Odoo database first for validation before production migration.
Staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a staging Odoo database using production-like data volume. The customer reviews record counts (Accounts in, Contacts in, Leads in, Opportunities in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Claritysoft source, and validates that res.partner deduplication was applied correctly and that crm.lead stage assignments match the source pipeline. Any field mapping corrections or deduplication rule adjustments happen in staging before production migration begins.
Owner and user reconciliation
We extract every distinct Claritysoft User referenced as an Owner on Contact, Account, Lead, Opportunity, and Activity records and match by email against the destination Odoo instance's res.users table. Any Claritysoft Owner without a matching Odoo User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. User provisioning is required before record import can proceed because OwnerId references must be satisfied on crm.lead and project.task.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: res.partner (company records from Claritysoft Accounts), res.partner (contact records from Claritysoft Contacts with parent company resolved), crm.lead (Leads with type=lead from Claritysoft Leads), crm.lead (Opportunities with type=opportunity from Claritysoft Opportunities with partner_id and user_id resolved), project.project and project.task (if migrating Projects), helpdesk.ticket (if migrating Helpdesk), ir.attachment (Documents linked to migrated records), mail.message and calendar.event (Activity history via XML-RPC batch chunking), and Custom Module data (last, because they may have lookups to res.partner and crm.lead). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Claritysoft writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and Automation inventory document to the customer's admin team covering each Claritysoft workflow trigger, condition, and action with an Odoo Automated Action equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Claritysoft Workflows as Odoo Server Actions or Automated Actions inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
