Overview
StrategicERP is an account-centric ERP built for construction and real estate verticals — it stores customers, suppliers, items, projects, and financial data in a unified relational model. Odoo CRM uses a separate lead/opportunity model: contacts live in res.partner, leads and opportunities live in crm.lead with a type field (lead or opportunity), sales orders sit in sale.order, and project tasks live in project.task. The migration must bridge these fundamentally different object graphs. We extract all StrategicERP customers, contacts, sales orders, items, and project records via the platform's export APIs and CSV utilities. Each customer account maps to an Odoo res.partner record; each StrategicERP sales transaction or project deliverable maps to an Odoo crm.lead opportunity with the stage, probability, and expected revenue preserved. Item/product records become Odoo product.product with the sales price carried over. Custom fields on StrategicERP customer and sales records migrate as Odoo ir.model.fields — we handle field type translation (date fields, pick-lists, numeric fields) during the import. What does not migrate: StrategicERP workflows, automations, approval chains, user role hierarchies, and custom module logic — those are destination-side configuration that must be rebuilt in Odoo using Odoo's Studio, server actions, or the automation rules framework. We provide a full export of StrategicERP workflow definitions as a rebuild reference. The migration runs in sequenced API pulls — master data first (currencies, countries, companies), then transactional records — with a 24-48 hour delta window before cutover to capture in-flight changes. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign-key dependencies resolve correctly and no record lands in Odoo without its required parent object existing first.
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 StrategicERP 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.
StrategicERP
Customer Account
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1StrategicERP customer records map 1:1 to Odoo res.partner. The company flag (is_company = True) is set if StrategicERP marks the record as a business account. Parent-child account hierarchies in StrategicERP map to Odoo's parent_id on res.partner. Addresses and shipping locations migrate as partner addresses with type = 'delivery'.
StrategicERP
Supplier Account
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1StrategicERP supplier records also map to res.partner — Odoo uses the same model for both customers and vendors, distinguished by supplier = True on the partner record. The supplier flag is set during import so purchase teams can filter the partner list correctly in Odoo's purchase module.
StrategicERP
Contact Person
Odoo CRM
res.partner (individual)
1:1Contacts attached to StrategicERP customer accounts migrate as res.partner records with is_company = False and a parent_id linking to the Odoo partner record representing the company. The contact's email, phone, title, and function fields map to Odoo's standard contact fields.
StrategicERP
Sales Order
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (opportunity)
1:1StrategicERP sales orders map to Odoo crm.lead records with type = 'opportunity' and linked partner_id. The order amount maps to Odoo's expected_revenue field. Order status (Quoted, Confirmed, Invoiced) maps to Odoo pipeline stages defined per the stage mapping plan. The original order number is preserved in a custom field for audit traceability.
StrategicERP
Sales Order Line / Item
Odoo CRM
sale.order.line / product.product
1:manyEach unique item in a StrategicERP order becomes an Odoo product.product record (if not already present). The sales price, unit of measure, and product description migrate to the product template. The line-level quantity and price then attach to the corresponding sale.order.line when the opportunity converts to a sale order.
StrategicERP
Project Record
Odoo CRM
project.task
1:1StrategicERP project records map to Odoo project.project, with individual project tasks as project.task records. The project manager (owner) resolves by email match to an Odoo res.users record. If StrategicERP stores milestone or phase data, these become task stages within the Odoo project.
StrategicERP
Currency / Tax Configuration
Odoo CRM
res.currency / account.fiscal.position
1:1StrategicERP stores a base currency per customer account. We create the corresponding res.currency record in Odoo and set the account's property_product_pricelist to a pricelist using that currency. Tax codes map to Odoo account.tax records; fiscal positions (customer-specific tax mappings) migrate as account.fiscal.position records.
StrategicERP
Custom Field on Customer
Odoo CRM
ir.model.fields (x_studio or x_custom)
1:1StrategicERP stores custom properties as extra columns on the customer table. We read the column name and data type, then create the corresponding ir.model.fields entry in Odoo with the matching field type (char, selection, float, date) before importing the values. Custom field labels are preserved as the field's field_description.
StrategicERP
Activity Note / Log
Odoo CRM
mail.message / mail.activity
1:1StrategicERP notes attached to customer accounts and sales orders migrate as Odoo mail.message records on the res.partner or crm.lead. Timestamps and the creating user are preserved. If the note represents a scheduled follow-up, it migrates as a mail.activity with date_deadline set and assigned to the owner.
StrategicERP
Workflow / Automation Rule
Odoo CRM
Not migratable — rebuild reference
1:1StrategicERP workflows, approval chains, and automated actions do not have an equivalent in Odoo CRM's object model and cannot be migrated. We export the StrategicERP workflow definitions (trigger conditions, assigned roles, and action steps) as a structured JSON document that Odoo administrators can use as a rebuild reference using Odoo's Studio, server actions, or automated actions.
StrategicERP
User / Owner
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1StrategicERP owner IDs resolve by email match against Odoo res.users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — teams either pre-create the Odoo users or assign a fallback owner. Records without an owner assignment default to the migrating user's Odoo account.

Migration approach
Audit and extract StrategicERP data via API and CSV exports
FlitStack AI connects to StrategicERP using API credentials scoped to read-only access. We pull all customers, suppliers, contacts, sales orders, item records, project data, and activity notes in paginated batches. For any fields not accessible via API, we use StrategicERP's built-in CSV export utility. The extraction output is a structured manifest listing record counts per object, field-level null rates, and any foreign-key relationships we identified during the schema review. This manifest becomes the baseline for the migration plan and the first checkpoint in the sample migration.
Design Odoo CRM schema and create custom fields before data lands
Before any data moves, FlitStack AI creates the Odoo custom fields required for StrategicERP's custom properties and audit fields (x_source_system_id, x_original_create_date). Pipeline stages are defined to match StrategicERP order statuses, and stage probabilities are set per stage definition. If the migration scope includes multiple StrategicERP companies, we configure Odoo multi-company access rights or provision additional databases. This step also creates the email aliases and mail gateway configuration so incoming emails auto-link to the correct partner records after migration.
Resolve owners and users by email match against Odoo res.users
StrategicERP owner IDs are matched by email against Odoo res.users. For each owner record, we check whether an Odoo user with the matching email exists. If no match is found, the record is flagged and held in a pre-migration exceptions report. Your team either pre-creates the Odoo user accounts before the migration or designates a fallback owner (a designated admin or sales manager) for all unmatched records. No record migrates without a resolved owner — the exceptions report is reviewed and resolved before the sample migration runs.
Run sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 representative records
A representative slice — spanning customers, contacts, sales orders, and project records — migrates first into a staging Odoo database. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values for every mapped field. You review the diff to verify that order statuses mapped to the correct pipeline stages, custom field values populated correctly, and owner resolution applied as expected. Any mapping corrections are made to the migration plan before the full run commits. The sample migration is the gate — it must pass your sign-off before the production run begins.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
All remaining records migrate in dependency order: master data (countries, currencies, fiscal positions) first, then res.partner records, then crm.lead opportunities. FlitStack AI writes an audit log entry for every record operation (create, update, skip) with the source record ID and destination record ID. After the full migration completes, a 24-48 hour delta window opens — during this window, any StrategicERP records created or modified after the initial extraction are pulled and upserted into Odoo. After the delta window closes, the final reconciliation report is generated and reviewed before the source system is decommissioned.
Deliver workflow rebuild reference and post-migration support plan
StrategicERP workflows, automations, and approval chains cannot migrate to Odoo and must be rebuilt. FlitStack AI exports a structured JSON document listing every StrategicERP workflow trigger, condition, and action with the equivalent Odoo automation tool (automated actions, server actions, or Flow) identified. This document is handed off during a 60-minute review session with your Odoo administrator. Post-migration support covers 30 days of delta monitoring — any records that were missed or incorrectly mapped during the delta window are corrected at no additional charge.
