Overview
Moving from Ploomes CRM to Odoo CRM is a cross-ERP migration that restructures how contacts and companies are modeled. Ploomes maintains Companies and Contacts as distinct objects with a separate association layer; Odoo uses a single res.partner model where contacts can be flagged as is_company or attached as child addresses to a company partner. We split Ploomes Companies into parent res.partner records and Ploomes Contacts into child res.partner records linked by that same model, preserving CNPJ/CPF identification fields as Odoo country-specific fields. Deals in Ploomes map to crm.lead with a stage pipeline that we configure as an Odoo Sales Team and stage set before migration. Products from Ploomes map to Odoo product.product with a product.category hierarchy preserved. Quote line items and totals migrate to Odoo sale.order, and Order records map to Odoo stock.picking or account.move depending on whether the team activates Odoo Inventory and Accounting. Ploomes Workflow automations are not accessible via the public API and do not migrate; we deliver a written workflow audit and Odoo Studio automation plan for the customer's admin to rebuild.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Ploomes 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.
Ploomes CRM
Company
Odoo CRM
res.partner (parent)
1:1Ploomes Companies map to Odoo res.partner records with is_company=True. The Company Name maps to partner name, and the CNPJ/CPF field on Ploomes Company maps to the l10n_br CNPJ field (l10n_br.cnpj_cpf) on res.partner. State registration and municipal registration map to l10n_br.inscr_est and l10n_br.inscr_mun. Company address fields (street, city, state, zip) map to street, city, state_id, and zip on res.partner. We create parent partner records before importing child Contact records so that the parent_id reference is satisfied at insert time.
Ploomes CRM
Contact
Odoo CRM
res.partner (child)
many:1Ploomes Contacts map to Odoo res.partner records with is_company=False and parent_id pointing to the mapped Company partner. When multiple Ploomes Contacts share the same Company, they become child partner records under the same parent_id. Contact name maps to partner name, email to email, phone to phone, mobile to mobile, job_title to function, and any CNPJ/CPF on the individual contact maps to l10n_br.cnpj_cpf on the child partner. Tags from Ploomes map to res.partner.category_id (a many2many tag relationship).
Ploomes CRM
Deal
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1Ploomes Deals map to Odoo crm.lead records. The deal title maps to name, deal value maps to planned_revenue, stage maps to stage_id (an Odoo crm.stage record we configure before migration), and owner maps to user_id. Ploomes Deal custom fields migrate to crm.lead custom fields (x_*) that we pre-create via Odoo XML-RPC before migration. Lost reason and Won reason from Ploomes custom fields map to lost_reason on crm.lead.
Ploomes CRM
Pipeline Stage
Odoo CRM
crm.stage
lossyEach Ploomes Pipeline Stage maps to an Odoo crm.stage record within a sales team. Stage probability percentages from Ploomes migrate to Odoo stage probability (proba). Stage order and name are preserved. We configure the Odoo Sales Team (crm.team) to correspond to the Ploomes Pipeline before migration, so that stage_id values are scoped to the correct team.
Ploomes CRM
Product Group
Odoo CRM
product.category
1:1Ploomes Product Groups map to Odoo product.category records. The group name maps to complete_name on product.category, preserving the hierarchical parent category structure if Ploomes has nested groups.
Ploomes CRM
Product
Odoo CRM
product.product + product.template
1:1Ploomes Products map to Odoo product.product records linked to product.template. Product name maps to product.template name, SKU maps to product.product default_code, and unit price maps to list_price. If Ploomes has product variants (Parts under Groups), we create product.template with product.attribute and product.attribute.value lines in Odoo to represent the variant hierarchy. Product category from Ploomes maps to categ_id pointing to the mapped product.category.
Ploomes CRM
Quote
Odoo CRM
sale.order
1:1Ploomes Quotes map to Odoo sale.order records. Quote status (draft, sent, approved) maps to state (draft, sent, sale). Quote line items with product references map to sale.order.line with product_id resolved from the product migration. Discount percentages and totals preserve. The Quote linked Deal in Ploomes maps to an Odoo crm.lead on the sale.order (x_studio_lead_id custom field we pre-create). Approval status from Ploomes Quote maps to a custom approval state field on sale.order.
Ploomes CRM
Order
Odoo CRM
sale.order or stock.picking or account.move
lossyPloomes Orders map to Odoo sale.order (if the team uses Odoo Sales without inventory), stock.picking (if Odoo Inventory is activated), or account.move (if Odoo Accounting is activated and the order is billed). We determine the correct Odoo object during scoping based on which Odoo modules the customer activates. The mapping preserves order line items, totals, and the link to the originating Quote and Deal.
Ploomes CRM
Task
Odoo CRM
crm.lead.activity or project.task
lossyPloomes Tasks linked to Deals map to Odoo crm.lead activity records (mail.message with calendar.event) if the team uses CRM-only in Odoo. Tasks linked to Projects map to project.task if the team activates Odoo Project. Task title, due date, owner, completion status, and task type migrate. Task type maps to activity_type_id in Odoo's activity system.
Ploomes CRM
Tag
Odoo CRM
res.partner.category or crm.tag
lossyPloomes Tags applied to Contacts and Companies map to res.partner.category (many2many). Ploomes Tags applied to Deals map to crm.tag. We pre-create all unique tag names as category or tag records in Odoo before importing associations. The customer chooses during scoping whether to consolidate to a single tag taxonomy or preserve the object-specific tag structure.
Ploomes CRM
Custom Field
Odoo CRM
ir.model.fields (x_*)
lossyPloomes custom fields created via POST /Fields migrate to Odoo custom fields on the corresponding model (crm.lead, res.partner, product.product, sale.order). We use Odoo XML-RPC to create x_ prefixed fields with matching field types (char, integer, float, boolean, selection, many2one, text). Multi-select and date custom fields map to Odoo selection and date field types respectively. Custom field definitions are created before any data import so that field values can be written during the data migration phase.
Ploomes CRM
User
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Ploomes Users map to Odoo res.users records. We resolve users by email match. Any Ploomes User without a matching Odoo user goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Odoo requires active users for Owner assignment on crm.lead; we flag any owner mapping that points to an inactive or missing Odoo user before migration.

Ploomes CRM gotchas
API pagination limit of 300 records per request
User-Key auth requires admin-level access
Workflow automations are not exported via public API
Quote version history is not programmatically accessible
Modular pricing means actual cost depends on selected add-ons
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 Odoo module selection
We audit the Ploomes account across objects (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Pipeline Stages, Products, Quotes, Orders, Tasks, Tags, Custom Fields), workflow count, API pagination volume per endpoint, and CNPJ/CPF field usage. We pair this with an Odoo module selection discussion: whether the customer activates CRM only, CRM plus Sales, or CRM plus Sales plus Inventory and Accounting. The discovery output is a written migration scope, an Odoo module recommendation, and a list of pre-migration prerequisites including l10n_br installation and Odoo user provisioning.
Schema design and res.partner split rule
We design the destination schema in Odoo. This includes installing l10n_br and any required country-specific modules, pre-creating custom fields (x_*) on crm.lead, res.partner, and sale.order via XML-RPC, configuring crm.team records to match Ploomes Pipelines, creating crm.stage records with probability and sequence values, creating product.category records from Ploomes Product Groups, and defining the res.partner split rule (which Ploomes Companies become parent partners, which Contacts become child partners, and how CNPJ/CPF maps to the correct res.partner field). Schema is validated in an Odoo sandbox before production migration.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into an Odoo test database using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reconciles record counts (Partners in, Contacts in, Leads in, Products in, Orders in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Ploomes source for field-level accuracy, and validates the res.partner parent-child structure. Any mapping corrections happen in this phase. We also validate that CNPJ/CPF values are correctly placed on parent vs child partners and that custom field values are preserved on Deals and Quotes.
User reconciliation and res.users provisioning
We extract every distinct Ploomes User referenced on Deals, Tasks, and Quotes and match by email against the Odoo destination's res.users table. Owners without a matching Odoo user go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Odoo requires active users for Owner assignment on crm.lead; we flag any owner mapping that points to an inactive or missing Odoo user before migration.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: res.partner parent records (Companies first), res.partner child records (Contacts with parent_id resolved), crm.team and crm.stage configuration records, product.category hierarchy, product.product and product.template (with variant resolution), crm.lead (Deals with user_id, stage_id, and custom fields resolved), sale.order (Quotes and Orders), and activity history. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Odoo XML-RPC /xmlrpc/2/object with session authentication and batched writes to handle volume.
Cutover, validation, and Workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Ploomes 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 Ploomes Workflow audit document with Odoo Studio equivalents to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's sales team. We do not rebuild Ploomes Workflows as Odoo automated actions inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
