Overview
Moving from Centerpoint ERP to Odoo ERP means leaving a closed, API-less platform for an open-source system with a documented XML-RPC/JSON-RPC interface. Centerpoint ERP has no publicly documented REST API, so we extract data using its built-in Data Importer exports and any Red Wing Software custom export programs, sequencing modules by dependency before ingesting into Odoo via its standard API. We preserve relational links between CRM stages, asset hierarchies, and work-order schedules, and we flag when operational data must migrate separately from financial records if the customer runs Centerpoint alongside a dedicated accounting system. QHSE compliance records require custom field mapping against Odoo's generic audit trail because Odoo does not ship a native QHSE module in its Community edition. We do not migrate Centerpoint workflows, automations, or custom report formats as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's Odoo administrator to rebuild using Odoo's Studio or custom Python modules.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Centerpoint ERP object lands in Odoo ERP, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Centerpoint ERP
Contact
Odoo ERP
Res Partner (Contacts)
1:1Centerpoint CRM Contacts map to Odoo res.partner records filtered to customer=True. The contact's name, email, phone, address, and owner assignment migrate as typed fields. We deduplicate by email match against existing Odoo partners. Any HubSpot or external ID stored in Centerpoint is preserved in a custom char field for audit traceability. The CRM module owner assignment resolves to an Odoo res.users record by email lookup; unresolvable owners are flagged for admin provisioning before the Contact phase runs.
Centerpoint ERP
Lead
Odoo ERP
CRM Lead
1:1Centerpoint Leads map to Odoo crm.lead records with type='lead'. The staged workflow from Centerpoint (initial lead through opportunity realization) maps to Odoo CRM stage IDs via a named-stage lookup table built during scoping. Lead priority and assigned owner migrate directly. We treat Centerpoint Leads and Contacts as distinct migrations since the crm.lead model separates prospects (type='lead') from opportunities (type='opportunity') within one object.
Centerpoint ERP
Opportunity
Odoo ERP
CRM Opportunity
1:1Centerpoint Opportunities map to Odoo crm.lead records with type='opportunity', linked to the partner_id resolved from the associated Contact or Company. The Centerpoint deal value and probability migrate to Odoo's expected_revenue and probability fields. Both weighted and unweighted forecast values from Centerpoint are preserved as custom float fields since Odoo's standard expected_revenue model defaults to one view; the customer chooses which becomes the standard field during scoping. Stage mapping uses the same named-stage table as Leads, applied per pipeline.
Centerpoint ERP
Asset
Odoo ERP
Asset Management (Account Asset)
1:1Centerpoint Asset Management module records map to Odoo's account.asset model. Physical asset name, location, current value, and depreciation schedule transfer directly. Asset hierarchy from Centerpoint (parent-child relationships) maps to Odoo's parent_id on account.asset where the destination has the Enterprise asset_management module enabled; Community edition requires custom fields or a third-party module for hierarchy. Asset category assignments map to Odoo asset category records created during schema setup.
Centerpoint ERP
Work Order
Odoo ERP
Maintenance Request
1:1Centerpoint Maintenance Work Orders map to Odoo's maintenance module (maintenance.request). Technician assignments, safety prerequisites, asset link (via equipment_id), and full status history migrate. The Centerpoint work-order number becomes the Odoo request's name for traceability. Odoo's maintenance module supports scheduled and corrective maintenance; if Centerpoint work orders include preventive scheduling data, we map them to maintenance.calendar with recurring rules as custom fields rather than native calendar recurrence.
Centerpoint ERP
Employee
Odoo ERP
HR Employee
1:1Centerpoint HR Employee records map to Odoo hr.employee. Department and role assignments migrate to Odoo's department_id and job_id. Employee records contain PII (national ID, compensation details, personal contact info) that requires explicit customer authorization before extraction and ingestion. We extract via flat-file export from Centerpoint, validate field completeness, and map to Odoo's typed hr.employee fields. The migration user is granted HR-specific field access during ingestion to comply with data-handling authorization.
Centerpoint ERP
Purchase Order
Odoo ERP
Purchase Order
1:1Centerpoint Purchasing Purchase Orders map to Odoo purchase.order with vendor name resolved to res.partner (vendor=True). Line items, quantities, and unit costs transfer to purchase.order.line with Odoo product_uom resolution. Vendor names from Centerpoint may require value mapping if the source uses abbreviated or inconsistent vendor naming conventions; we build a vendor normalization table during data audit. PO status (draft, sent, received, cancelled) maps to Odoo's state field using a status lookup table.
Centerpoint ERP
QHSE Record
Odoo ERP
Custom Fields + Quality App
lossyCenterpoint QHSE compliance records (safety incidents, audits, inspections, regulatory reports) have no direct Odoo equivalent in the standard Community edition. We map these to Odoo's quality module if the Enterprise quality app is licensed, or to custom fields on a dedicated project.task or stock.productionlot record type during migration. The schema varies by industry vertical and Centerpoint configuration, so we review the customer's QHSE configuration during discovery, define a custom Odoo model, and migrate records with field-by-field mapping to the closest typed destination. Odoo Enterprise Quality app customers get safety checks, quality alerts, and control points mapped from the source QHSE record types.
Centerpoint ERP
Logistics Record
Odoo ERP
Inventory Operation
1:1Centerpoint Logistics module shipment records, routes, and carrier assignments map to Odoo stock.picking operations. Carrier names may require normalization if Odoo uses a different carrier vocabulary; we build a carrier mapping table during data audit. Route assignments from Centerpoint map to Odoo stock.location routing rules. Delivery status and timestamps migrate as typed fields on stock.picking. If the customer uses Odoo's delivery module with carrier integration, carrier names normalize to the integration's expected carrier codes.
Centerpoint ERP
QHSE Configuration
Odoo ERP
Quality Control Points
lossyCenterpoint QHSE module stores configuration records (inspection templates, compliance checklists, regulatory categories) that vary by industry vertical. We treat these as configuration records rather than transaction data, migrating them to Odoo's quality module as quality.point and quality.alert records if the Enterprise quality app is installed, or as notes and custom fields on a dedicated Odoo model if Community edition is deployed. The customer confirms which QHSE record types are active during scoping, as Odoo's Community edition does not ship a native QHSE or EHS module.

Migration approach
Discovery and product version confirmation
We audit the source Centerpoint ERP environment across all eight modules, confirming whether the customer runs the cloud-based or on-premise (centerpoint.pro) version, and listing every entity available for export through the built-in Data Importer and any purchased custom export programs. We capture record counts per module, identify relational links between records (Contact to Opportunity, Asset to Work Order), and document any QHSE configuration specific to the customer's industry vertical. We pair this with an Odoo edition scoping: Community (free self-hosted) or Enterprise (from $24.90/user/mo), and which Odoo apps are required based on the source modules in use. The discovery output is a written migration scope with entity inventory and Odoo app selection.
Flat-file export sequencing
Centerpoint ERP's lack of a public API means all extraction is manual. We sequence the export order by dependency: master data (contacts, vendors, employees, asset categories) exports first, followed by transactional records (opportunities, purchase orders, work orders, logistics records), followed by cross-record relationships (QHSE incidents linked to assets or employees). For each module we define the export format (CSV, Excel), field names, and any value transformations required (date formats, currency codes, carrier name normalization). Red Wing Software custom export programs are engaged where the standard export tool does not cover an entity. The customer runs exports with our documented field specifications and delivers files for ingestion.
Odoo schema design and module activation
We design the destination Odoo schema based on the export inventory. This includes activating the required Odoo apps (Contacts, CRM, Asset Management, Maintenance, HR, Purchase, Inventory, Quality if Enterprise) and configuring the corresponding models before any data load. Custom fields are created for Centerpoint entities with no direct Odoo equivalent (QHSE records, weighted/unweighted forecast values, carrier normalization tables). Stage and pipeline mappings from Centerpoint CRM map to Odoo CRM stage records under the relevant team. Validation rules and required-field constraints are reviewed and temporarily relaxed if they would block migration records.
Sandbox ingestion and reconciliation
We run a full ingestion into an Odoo test database using production-like data volume from the exported files. The customer's team reviews record counts, spot-checks 20-30 records per module for field accuracy, and validates relational links (Work Orders referencing the correct Asset, Contacts referencing the correct Account). Any field mapping corrections, duplicate merges, or missing data identified during sandbox ingestion are resolved before production migration begins. QHSE record mapping receives particular attention since it is a custom configuration.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production ingestion in dependency order: master data first (res.partner vendors, hr.employee, product.product, account.asset.category), then CRM records (crm.lead for Leads, then Opportunities with partner_id resolved), then operational records (maintenance.request, purchase.order, stock.picking), then QHSE records last as the most likely to require custom field mapping. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Odoo's XML-RPC API with batch operations and error logging to catch and flag records that fail ingestion due to missing lookups or validation constraints.
Cutover, validation, and QHSE rebuild handoff
We freeze Centerpoint ERP write access during cutover, run a final delta import for any records modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo as the system of record. We validate record counts against the source Centerpoint export totals, spot-check relational integrity (Assets with Work Orders, Opportunities with Contacts, Purchase Orders with Vendors), and confirm QHSE records are accessible under the configured destination model. We deliver a written QHSE inventory document mapping every Centerpoint compliance record type to its Odoo destination for the customer's admin to validate the field-level accuracy. We do not rebuild Centerpoint workflows, automations, or custom report formats inside the migration scope.
