Overview
Service In Sync organizes field-service businesses around jobs, scheduling, estimates, and client communication. Odoo CRM uses a unified crm.lead model that collapses leads and opportunities into a single object differentiated by the type field, with stage_id controlling pipeline position. We map Service In Sync contacts to res.partner, job records to crm.lead with type='opportunity', estimates to sale.order, and activities to mail.message. Odoo's custom field convention (x_ prefix) requires destination-side field creation before bulk imports via XML-RPC. The migration carries timestamps, owner assignments, and multi-address records while flagging any automations, payment processing rules, and review-request logic that must be rebuilt in Odoo's automation framework. A delta-pickup window captures changes made during the cutover window, and one-click rollback protects against foreign-key mismatches that can orphan records when parent objects (res.partner) land after their children. Our approach includes a sample migration pass with field-level diff before committing the full bulk run.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Service In Sync 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.
Service In Sync
Contact
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Service In Sync contacts map directly to Odoo res.partner. Odoo uses partner_id on most CRM records. Multi-address contacts require parent_id chaining in Odoo if addresses are stored as separate partner records. We preserve original address fields and match parent_id to the corresponding company-type res.partner to maintain hierarchical relationships in the target system.
Service In Sync
Company
Odoo CRM
res.partner (company type)
1:1Service In Sync companies map to res.partner with is_company=True. The company_id on Service In Sync contacts becomes parent_id on res.partner to preserve the account hierarchy. Website and industry fields transfer directly; employee_count maps as-is for Odoo's B2B profiling features.
Service In Sync
Job/Service Record
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1Service In Sync job records become Odoo crm.lead with type='opportunity'. Job status maps to stage_id via Odoo's crm.stage configuration. Original job create dates preserved as x_original_create_date custom field since crm.lead create_date is set at migration time. Description, scheduled_date, and assigned_to transfer to corresponding crm.lead fields with type-safe transformations.
Service In Sync
Job Status
Odoo CRM
crm.stage
1:1Service In Sync job status values map one-to-one to Odoo crm.stage records. Each stage requires a sequence number and optional on_change_stage_id automation. We deliver a stage-mapping table before the migration run and validate stage_id foreign-key constraints against the target crm.team scope.
Service In Sync
Estimate
Odoo CRM
sale.order
1:1Service In Sync estimates map to Odoo sale.order with state='draft'. Line items become sale.order.line records with product_uom_qty and price_unit populated. Approval status in Service In Sync requires manual reconfiguration in Odoo's sale.order.confirm workflow and signature-capture settings.
Service In Sync
Client Communication
Odoo CRM
mail.message
1:1Communication history (emails, SMS, notes) attached to Service In Sync jobs migrates as mail.message records linked to crm.lead via res_id/res_model. Original timestamps and author email preserved for activity audit trails. Body content transfers as HTML-safe text with mail.message.message_type set to 'comment'.
Service In Sync
Payment Record
Odoo CRM
account.payment
1:1Service In Sync payment records have no clean Odoo equivalent without activating the Accounting app. We preserve payment data as custom fields on crm.lead (x_payment_status, x_payment_date) and recommend activating account.payment post-migration for full invoice-to-payment reconciliation.
Service In Sync
Schedule/Appointment
Odoo CRM
calendar.event
1:1Service In Sync scheduling requires Odoo's Calendar app to be installed. Appointments migrate as calendar.event records with partner_ids linked to res.partner and crm.lead as res_id. Without Calendar app, scheduling data becomes custom fields on crm.lead (x_scheduled_date, x_scheduled_time) — functional for reporting but not calendar visualization.
Service In Sync
Review/Feedback
Odoo CRM
mail.message (custom subtype)
1:1Service In Sync's automatic review-request feature is an automation that cannot migrate. Review scores and feedback text migrate as custom fields (x_review_score, x_review_note) for reference; new review-request sequences must be built in Odoo Automations using mail.activity with custom subtypes.
Service In Sync
Owner/Staff
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Service In Sync staff assigned as job owners are matched to Odoo res.users by email. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — either invite them to Odoo first or assign records to a fallback user to avoid orphaning. We generate a pre-migration owner resolution report listing all matched and unmatched staff.
Service In Sync
Custom Property (Contact)
Odoo CRM
res.partner custom field
1:1Service In Sync custom contact properties map to res.partner fields prefixed x_ (or module-prefixed). Field type mapping: text to char, number to float, picklist to selection. Odoo Studio or a migration script creates these before the import runs, with field_order and required flags preserved from the source schema.
Service In Sync
Custom Property (Job)
Odoo CRM
crm.lead custom field
1:1Job-level custom properties migrate to crm.lead custom fields using x_ prefix. Date custom fields map to date fields; boolean properties to boolean fields. We validate field types against Odoo's ORM constraints before bulk insertion to catch type mismatches early.
Service In Sync
Attachment/File
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment
1:1Files attached to Service In Sync jobs re-upload to Odoo ir.attachment linked to crm.lead via res_model/res_id. Odoo file size limits (default 25MB per file) apply. Inline images in notes extracted and rehosted in Odoo's filestore with ir.attachment records using res_field for inline attachments.

Migration approach
Audit Service In Sync data model and Odoo target schema
We extract the full Service In Sync object inventory via API — contacts, companies, jobs, estimates, communications, and custom properties — and validate record counts against your stated totals. In parallel, we inspect the target Odoo database for installed apps (CRM, Sales, Calendar, Project), existing crm.stage records, and res.users list. Any missing Odoo apps get flagged in the migration plan; we only proceed with schema elements that exist or can be programmatically created.
Create Odoo custom fields and stage configuration
Based on the Service In Sync custom property audit, we create ir.model.fields records in Odoo for every custom field that has no standard equivalent. We also build the crm.stage ladder matching Service In Sync job statuses, assign stage sequences, and configure on_change triggers per pipeline. This step runs against your staging Odoo instance first to validate field-type constraints before production.
Resolve owners and match parent records
Service In Sync staff emails are matched to Odoo res.users by email address. Unmatched owners are listed with a fallback assignment option (default user or queue). Parent-child relationships between Service In Sync contacts and companies are resolved so res.partner parent_id chains are intact before child records (crm.lead) are inserted. Orphaned records — contacts without a matching company, estimates without a matching partner — are flagged with a resolution recommendation.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice (100–500 records covering contacts, companies, jobs, estimates, and activities) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values so you can verify stage mapping, custom field population, and owner resolution before the full run commits. Any mapping corrections loop back to step 2 or 3 until the sample passes your validation criteria.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full migration runs against Odoo with foreign-key ordering enforced: res.partner first (companies, then contacts), sale.order second, crm.lead third with partner_id and stage_id resolved, mail.message last. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures records created or modified in Service In Sync during the cutover. An audit log records every operation with source record ID, destination ID, and transformation applied. One-click rollback reverts all inserts if reconciliation fails.
