Overview
Moving from YetiForce CRM to Odoo CRM is an open-source-to-open-source migration that also introduces a scope difference: YetiForce is a standalone CRM-ERP hybrid with over 80 built-in modules, while Odoo CRM is a module within a broader ERP suite. YetiForce's Organizations map to Odoo Accounts, Potentials map to Opportunities, and Projects map to Odoo Project tasks with stage values translated through a configuration table. The most significant pair-specific challenge is YetiForce's per-instance custom field ID system — a field labeled cf_123 in one YetiForce instance may be cf_456 in another for the same logical field. We build a dynamic schema map by querying YetiForce's field metadata endpoint before any export, then apply this map so values land in the correct Odoo fields. We flag the archived GitHub repository as a long-term maintenance concern during scoping, and we handle attachments via YetiForce's built-in CSV export supplemented by API-based validation passes. Workflows, saved Reports, and Webservice Premium portal configurations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Odoo Workflow or Studio.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a YetiForce 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.
YetiForce CRM
Organization
Odoo CRM
Account
1:1YetiForce Organization records map directly to Odoo CRM Account records. Organization name becomes Account name, address fields map to street, street2, city, state_id, zip, and country_id, and industry type maps to Odoo's industry_id field via a value translation table. Account is created first in migration order to satisfy the parent-record lookup that Contacts and Opportunities require. The YetiForce assigned_user_id is resolved to an Odoo User record by email matching.
YetiForce CRM
Contact
Odoo CRM
Contact
1:1YetiForce Contact records map to Odoo CRM Contact records with name, email, phone, mobile, and address fields transferred directly. The parent_organization_id on the Contact resolves to the migrated Account record by organization name match. We preserve the contact's title (Salutation), function, and any custom fields from YetiForce via the dynamic field schema map built during the audit phase.
YetiForce CRM
Lead
Odoo CRM
Lead
1:1YetiForce Lead records map to Odoo CRM Lead (crm.lead) records. Lead source and lead status custom fields from YetiForce map to Odoo's source_id and stage_id fields. Any YetiForce lead scoring or rating values are preserved as custom float or integer fields on the Odoo Lead record. Unconverted Leads remain as Leads in Odoo; Leads that represent pre-conversion prospects map to crm.lead with lead_type = lead rather than opportunity.
YetiForce CRM
Potential
Odoo CRM
Opportunity
1:1YetiForce Potentials are the pipeline deal object and map to Odoo CRM Opportunity records. The potentialname field maps to Opportunity name, related_organization_id resolves to the migrated Account, amount maps to Odoo expected_revenue, and the YetiForce sales_stage maps to Odoo stage_id via a configuration table that the customer reviews and approves during scoping. Probability is either inherited from the stage configuration or preserved as a custom field if YetiForce held a manual probability value.
YetiForce CRM
Potential Stage
Odoo CRM
Opportunity Stage
lossyYetiForce potential sales stages (Mapped, Proposal, Negotiation, Closed Won, Closed Lost, etc.) map to Odoo CRM stage records within the appropriate pipeline. We create each Odoo stage with the matching name and configure probability percentages from YetiForce's stage probability values. If YetiForce used custom stage names, we build a translation table during scoping so the customer confirms the Odoo stage mapping before migration begins.
YetiForce CRM
Project
Odoo CRM
Project
1:1YetiForce Project records map to Odoo Project.project records with name, description, start date, end date, and assigned user preserved. The project status (In Progress, Completed, On Hold, Cancelled) translates to Odoo project state via a value mapping table. Custom fields on YetiForce Projects use tree picklists and reference field types that require type-aware mapping; we handle these via the dynamic schema map and flag any fields that require Odoo custom field creation before import.
YetiForce CRM
Project Task
Odoo CRM
Project Task
1:1YetiForce Project Task records map to Odoo Project.task records linked to the migrated Project by project name matching. Task subject becomes task name, status maps via a stage translation table, priority maps to priority, and assigned_user resolves to the Odoo User by email. Parent task hierarchies from YetiForce are preserved as parent_id references in Odoo, resolving the parent task record by subject name within the same project.
YetiForce CRM
Ticket
Odoo CRM
Helpdesk Ticket
1:1YetiForce Ticket records map to Odoo Helpdesk Ticket (helpdesk.ticket) records if the destination Odoo instance has the Helpdesk app installed. Ticket title, description, status, priority, and category transfer directly. Related Contact and Organization references from YetiForce resolve to migrated Odoo Contact and Account records. If Helpdesk is not installed, Tickets map to crm.lead records with a custom ticket reference field and ticket_category as a tag.
YetiForce CRM
Product
Odoo CRM
Product
1:1YetiForce Product records map to Odoo Product.product records with name, default_code (SKU), list_price, standard_price, description, and vendor link preserved. The vendor reference from YetiForce resolves to the migrated vendor Contact by vendor name matching. If the Odoo instance has the Inventory app enabled, product type (stockable, consumable, service) maps from YetiForce's product type field.
YetiForce CRM
Service
Odoo CRM
Product (service type)
1:1YetiForce Service records share the same data shape as Products and map to Odoo Product.product records with type = service. Price per unit and description transfer directly. The migration is straightforward provided the Odoo instance has the Service feature enabled in the Product form configuration. If the customer uses Odoo subscription management, recurring plan fields are left as custom fields for the admin to configure post-migration.
YetiForce CRM
Vendor
Odoo CRM
Contact (vendor flag)
1:1YetiForce Vendor records map to Odoo CRM Contact records with the vendor flag set to True. Vendor name becomes Contact name, website maps to website, and address fields transfer directly. We resolve the vendor reference in Product records by matching on vendor name after the Vendor migration phase completes. If the Odoo instance has the Purchase app installed, vendor records can alternatively be created as Purchase.supplier records.
YetiForce CRM
User
Odoo CRM
User
1:1YetiForce User records carry login, name, role, and preference data. Direct user-to-user migration is not supported because Odoo User provisioning is an administrative act requiring password setup and security group assignment. We extract all YetiForce users by email and name and present them as a provisioning list to the customer's Odoo admin before migration begins. Ownership assignments on migrated records then resolve by email match.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Odoo app selection
We audit the source YetiForce instance across version (4.x or 5.x), installed modules, custom field count, record volumes per object, and active Webservice Premium usage. We pair this with an Odoo app selection: Odoo CRM only for straightforward CRM-only migrations, or CRM plus Project and Helpdesk if the customer uses those YetiForce modules. We identify whether Odoo Online (hosted), Odoo.sh (managed), or Odoo Community (self-hosted) is the destination, since this affects the API access method and migration tooling we use.
Dynamic field schema map and stage configuration
We query YetiForce's field metadata endpoint to extract the complete field schema including instance-specific cf_### IDs, field types, and picklist values. We build a dynamic field schema map that matches each YetiForce field to its logical Odoo equivalent. We also design the Odoo stage configuration: YetiForce pipeline stages map to Odoo CRM stages with probability percentages translated via a configuration table that the customer reviews and approves. If Odoo Project or Helpdesk apps are in scope, we design the stage configuration for those modules in parallel.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into an Odoo test database (sandbox or development environment) using production-like data volume. The customer's team reconciles record counts, spot-checks 25-50 random records against the YetiForce source (checking field values, picklist translations, and parent record lookups), and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any field mapping corrections, stage translation adjustments, or picklist value additions happen in the sandbox, not in production.
User provisioning and owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct YetiForce user referenced on Contact, Organization, Potential, Project, and Ticket records and match by email against the Odoo destination's User table. Users without a matching Odoo User record go to a provisioning queue for the customer's Odoo admin to create with appropriate security groups and active status. Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references on Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities require valid Odoo User records.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from YetiForce Organizations), Contacts (with parent Account resolved), Leads, Opportunities (with Account and Owner resolved, stage mapped via the approved configuration table), Products and Vendors, Projects (with status translated), Project Tasks (with parent Project and parent task resolved), Tickets (with Contact and Account resolved), and attachments via file export with parent-record links. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Odoo's XML-RPC API with chunking and exponential backoff on rate-limit responses.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze YetiForce 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 a written inventory of YetiForce workflows, saved Reports, and Webservice Premium portal configurations for the customer's admin to rebuild in Odoo Studio or as Odoo Workflow records. We support a one-week post-cutover window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild YetiForce workflows as Odoo server actions inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
