Overview
Vaulta (Veeva Vault) stores CRM and clinical data in an object-type-keyed schema where standard objects ( vaults, studies, sites, subjects, contacts, accounts) support custom fields, cross-object relationships, and document attachments through a versioned Vault API. Odoo CRM uses a PostgreSQL-backed relational model centered on crm.lead (unified leads and opportunities), res.partner (contacts and companies), crm.lead2opportunity (stage transitions), and ir.attachment (files). FlitStack AI extracts Vaulta data via the Vault REST API with OAuth2 authentication, performs type-aware mapping of standard and custom Vaulta object fields to their Odoo counterparts, resolves owner email matches against Odoo res.users, reconstructs Vaulta cross-object relationships using Odoo ir.model.relation, and reloads attachments to Odoo's ir.attachment filestore. Automation rules, validation workflows, study-specific object types, and document versioning policies do not migrate — we export Vaulta workflow definitions as JSON for Odoo Studio reconstruction. The migration runs in a 48–72 hour test window followed by a production cutover with 24–48 hour delta pickup capturing in-flight changes.
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 Vaulta 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.
Vaulta
Vaulta Contact
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (Contact role)
1:1Vaulta Contact objects map directly to Odoo CRM crm.lead records with type='lead' when the Vaulta contact is not yet converted. The Vaulta contact's email, name, phone, and address fields translate to crm.lead email_from, contact_name, phone, and street/city/country fields respectively using Odoo's standard field naming conventions. Owner assignments are resolved via email match to res.users.
Vaulta
Vaulta Account
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Vaulta Account objects map to Odoo res.partner records with customer_rank based on account classification. Vaulta account name, industry, website, and employee count translate to res.partner name, industry_id, website, and employee_count fields using Odoo's selection field values for standardized picklists.
Vaulta
Vaulta Study
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (Opportunity role)
1:1Vaulta Study objects do not have a direct Odoo equivalent. FlitStack AI maps Study records to Odoo crm.lead with type='opportunity', using the Study name as opportunity name and Study protocol as description. Study metadata (protocol number, phase, status) is stored in Odoo custom Char fields created during schema setup.
Vaulta
Vaulta Site
Odoo CRM
res.partner (Site role)
1:1Vaulta Site objects represent clinical or operational sites and map to Odoo res.partner records with a 'is_site' custom flag. Site-specific address and contact information becomes the partner's primary contact record, linked to the parent Account (Vaulta Account) via parent_id on res.partner.
Vaulta
Vaulta Subject
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (custom)
1:1Vaulta Subject records (clinical trial participants) have no Odoo CRM native equivalent. FlitStack creates an x_crm_subject custom model inheriting from crm.lead to store subject ID, site linkage, enrollment date, and subject-specific custom fields from Vaulta. Subjects are linked to Site partners via many2one relationship.
Vaulta
Vaulta Product
Odoo CRM
product.template
1:1Vaulta Product objects map to Odoo product.template with standard name, description, list_price, and standard_price fields preserved during migration. Vaulta product categories translate to Odoo product.category records with parent_path hierarchy maintained for nested category structures in the target Odoo instance.
Vaulta
Vaulta Custom Object Type
Odoo CRM
ir.model (dynamic)
1:1Vaulta custom object types (Enterprise feature) require Odoo module creation with new model definition. FlitStack generates an Odoo Python module defining the custom model via _inherit and adds custom fields matching Vaulta's custom field definitions with appropriate ttype translation from Vaulta vType to Odoo field type.
Vaulta
Vaulta Document
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment
1:1Vaulta documents attached to any Vaulta object (Study, Site, Contact, Account) map to Odoo ir.attachment records. The Vaulta document's name, create_date, create_uid, and content (binary file) are preserved in Odoo's attachment store, with res_model set to the mapped Odoo model and res_id set to the target record ID.
Vaulta
Vaulta Object Relationship
Odoo CRM
ir.model.relation
1:1Vaulta cross-object relationships (study_has_sites, account_has_contacts, site_has_subjects) are reconstructed in Odoo using many2one or many2many fields defined in the target model's Python class. Relationships are resolved after all source records are inserted, using source Vaulta record IDs stored in custom migration_id fields for traceability.
Vaulta
Vaulta Owner (User)
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Vaulta owner_id on any record maps to Odoo res.users via email match. Unmatched owners are flagged pre-migration. Your team either provisions Odoo users before migration or assigns records to a fallback user (typically admin). Vaulta role and vault-access restrictions do not map to Odoo — those must be reconstructed via Odoo access groups and record rules.
Vaulta
Vaulta Custom Field
Odoo CRM
ir.model.fields (x_ prefixed)
1:1Vaulta custom fields on any standard object require Odoo field creation via Studio or Python module. Vaulta vType (string, number, date, selection, multi-select) translates to Odoo ttype (char, float, datetime, selection, many2many). Custom fields use x_ prefix in Odoo. Required fields and validation rules are flagged for manual setup in Odoo Studio.
Vaulta
Vaulta Study Lifecycle State
Odoo CRM
crm.lead stage_id
1:1Vaulta Study lifecycle states (Draft, Active, On Hold, Closed, Terminated) map to Odoo crm.lead stage_id values. Each Vaulta lifecycle state corresponds to a named stage in the Odoo CRM pipeline, with stage probability values set to match the Odoo team's forecast category configuration.

Migration approach
Discover Vaulta object types and custom field inventory
FlitStack AI connects to your Vaulta instance via Vault API using OAuth2 credentials. We enumerate all active vaults, standard object types (Contact, Account, Study, Site, Subject, Product, Document), and custom object types defined in each vault. We capture every custom field definition (field name, vType, required flag, pick-list values) and cross-reference it against Odoo's available ttype values. A Vaulta schema report is generated showing object count, custom field count per object, and relationship cardinality for each vault. This report is reviewed with you before field mapping begins.
Create Odoo custom models and fields for non-standard Vaulta objects
For Vaulta custom object types (Enterprise feature) and custom fields that have no Odoo native equivalent, FlitStack AI generates an Odoo Python module using _inherit and ir.model.fields creation. The module defines custom models for Vaulta Subject records, adds x_ prefixed custom fields to crm.lead and res.partner for Vaulta custom properties, and creates many2one/many2many fields for cross-object relationships. We deliver the module as a .zip with manifest.py and Python model files. Your Odoo administrator installs the module in the target database before migration data mapping runs.
Resolve owner email matches and provision Odoo users
Vaulta owner_id on every record (Contact, Account, Study, Site) is resolved by email match against Odoo res.users login. FlitStack AI generates an owner resolution report listing: matched owners (mapped directly), unmatched owners (Vaulta user has no Odoo account), and fallback assignments (admin or specified user). Your team provisions missing Odoo users or confirms fallback assignments before the migration run. No Vaulta record migrates without a confirmed Odoo owner or approved fallback.
Run sample migration with field-level diff and relationship verification
FlitStack AI runs a sample migration against a representative slice of Vaulta data (typically 100–500 records per object type) into the Odoo staging environment. We generate a field-level diff showing source field value, translated field value, and transformation applied for each mapped field. Relationship integrity is verified by cross-checking Vaulta relationship records against reconstructed Odoo many2one/many2many values. You review the diff, approve field mapping, or request adjustments before the production migration run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit logging
The production migration runs with full record volume: Accounts → Contacts/Leads → Studies/Opportunities → Sites → Subjects → Documents → Relationships. FlitStack AI uses the Odoo XML-RPC API with batched writes (100 records per batch) respecting Odoo's connection pool limits. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window runs concurrently, capturing any Vaulta records modified or created during the cutover. All migration operations are logged in an audit table (migration_log) tracking operation type, source record ID, destination record ID, timestamp, and operator. One-click rollback is available via FlitStack AI dashboard if reconciliation fails.
