Overview
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP organizes data across separate module screens for financials, inventory, manufacturing, and HR. Each module writes directly to a proprietary schema with its own code conventions and database structure. Odoo is a modular ORM-based suite where every entity — res.partner, account.move, stock.picking, mrp.production, hr.employee — is a first-class model with many2one lookups, many2many tags, and ir.model.data external IDs for traceability. The migration carries everything eBIZ SMARTZ stores natively: account codes and balances, partner records with addresses and bank details, product masters with variant definitions, open purchase and sales invoices with payment terms, inventory quant snapshots tied to warehouse locations, asset registers with depreciation schedules and methods, and cost-center hierarchies with parent-child rollup relationships. We surface GL posting sequences, tax-account mappings, and approval-chain definitions as structured exports your Odoo admin can rebuild using Odoo's accounting journal configuration, ir.rules security framework, and Odoo Studio approval flows. The Odoo external API (XML-RPC/JSON-RPC) handles the transfer for transactional records with real-time validation; bulk CSV imports handle reference data such as the chart of accounts, product catalog, and UoM categories.
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 eBIZ SMARTZ Business 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.
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP
Chart of Accounts
Odoo ERP
account.account
1:1Direct map: each eBIZ SMARTZ account code becomes an Odoo account.account record with the matching code, name, account_type (asset, liability, equity, revenue, expense), and reconcile flag set. Account codes must be cross-referenced before insertion because eBIZ SMARTZ numeric codes do not map 1:1 to Odoo's account code constraints.
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP
Customer (Receivables)
Odoo ERP
res.partner
1:1Direct map: eBIZ SMARTZ customer records map to Odoo res.partner with type='customer'. Each partner receives an external ID (x_source_id) for traceability and future delta synchronization. Address records (street, city, state, zip) map to res.partner child records using the contact_address mechanism, and customer-specific fields like payment terms map to property_payment_term_id.
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP
Vendor (Payables)
Odoo ERP
res.partner
1:1Direct map: eBIZ SMARTZ vendor records map to Odoo res.partner with type='vendor'. Bank account details, payment terms, and fiscal country settings are preserved as partner bank records (res.partner.bank) linked by partner_id, with vendor_rank=1 set to enable vendor-specific filtering in Odoo purchase workflows.
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP
Product Master
Odoo ERP
product.template / product.product
1:1eBIZ SMARTZ product records map to Odoo product.template (for name, uom, type) and product.product variants where the source has attribute-based variants. Product type (stockable, consumable, service) maps to Odoo's product.template.type field. Unit of measure conversions handled via uom.uom mapping, with uom_category matching to ensure dimensional consistency across the product catalog.
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP
GL Voucher (Journal Entry)
Odoo ERP
account.move
1:1eBIZ SMARTZ vouchers map to Odoo account.move with line_ids. Each voucher line maps to account.move.line with matching debit/credit amounts, account_id resolved via the account cross-reference table, and partner_id set when the line references a customer or vendor. Original voucher number stored in move_ref for audit trail and source traceability.
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP
Sales Invoice / Credit Note
Odoo ERP
account.move (out_invoice / out_refund)
1:1eBIZ SMARTZ sales invoices map to Odoo account.move with move_type='out_invoice'. Invoice lines map to account.move.line with product_id, quantity, price_unit, and tax_ids resolved via the tax cross-reference table. Payment terms from eBIZ SMARTZ map to account.payment.term on the Odoo move, and the original invoice number is preserved in the move name field for reference.
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP
Purchase Invoice / Debit Note
Odoo ERP
account.move (in_invoice / in_refund)
1:1eBIZ SMARTZ purchase invoices map to Odoo account.move with move_type='in_invoice'. Vendor bill lines use the same account.move.line structure with purchase_price_unit and tax_ids mapped from source tax codes. Bill date and due date are preserved from the source, and the vendor partner is linked via partner_id on the move header.
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP
Cost Center Hierarchy
Odoo ERP
account.analytic.account
1:1Multi-level cost-center hierarchies in eBIZ SMARTZ map to Odoo account.analytic.account records. Each eBIZ SMARTZ cost-center node becomes one analytic account with its parent_id set to the parent cost-center's Odoo ID, preserving the reporting hierarchy within Odoo's analytic accounting module and enabling cost rollup reports across all levels of the organization.
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP
Purchase Order
Odoo ERP
purchase.order / purchase.order.line
1:1Direct map: open purchase orders in eBIZ SMARTZ map to Odoo purchase.order records with vendor_id, date_order, and line_ids. Line-level product_id, product_qty, and price_unit map directly to purchase.order.line fields. Purchase order state (confirmed, pending) maps to Odoo's state field, and the Odoo internal reference links back to the source PO number via the name field.
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP
Inventory / Stock Record
Odoo ERP
stock.quant
1:1eBIZ SMARTZ inventory stock records map to Odoo stock.quant entries linked to product_id and location_id. Odoo requires stock.location records to exist first; we create a default company location if the source uses a single-warehouse model, and map warehouse codes to Odoo stock.location complete_name for multi-warehouse configurations.
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP
Asset Register Entry
Odoo ERP
account.asset
1:1Direct map: eBIZ SMARTZ asset records map to Odoo account.asset with asset name, original_value, depreciation_date, and method fields populated from source data. Depreciation lines are computed by Odoo's asset computation engine using the original values and method migrated from eBIZ SMARTZ, ensuring the same depreciation schedule is produced without manual recalculation or re-entry.
eBIZ SMARTZ Business ERP
Approval Hierarchy Definition
Odoo ERP
Odoo Studio / ir.rules
1:1Approval chains defined in eBIZ SMARTZ have no native equivalent in Odoo. We export the approval configuration as a structured JSON document listing document types, user levels, and threshold amounts so your Odoo admin can rebuild the approval sequence using Odoo Studio approval flows or a third-party workflow app.

Migration approach
Discovery and schema profiling
FlitStack AI extracts and profiles the eBIZ SMARTZ database schema to identify all active modules, record counts per object, and the chart of accounts structure. We document the cost-center hierarchy depth, tax-code configurations, fiscal-year setup, and the number of open purchase and sales documents. From this profiling we build the account cross-reference table, tax cross-reference table, and transformation specification that guides all subsequent steps.
Build Odoo chart of accounts and reference data
Before transactional data moves, we create the Odoo chart of accounts, fiscal years, and accounting periods aligned with the eBIZ SMARTZ configuration. Tax codes are created as Odoo account.tax records with correct invoice/refund account links. Cost-center hierarchies are pre-built as account.analytic.account records in parent-first order. Product categories, UoM categories, and warehouse locations are established so transactional records can reference them without foreign-key errors.
Migrate partner and product reference data
Customer and vendor records are migrated first as res.partner entries with their type flags, addresses, and bank accounts. Products are migrated as product.template records with product.product variants where the source has attribute-based variants, maintaining the template-variant relationship native to Odoo's product model. External IDs (x_source_id) are assigned to every record for traceability and delta-run de-duplication in future synchronization cycles. This step establishes the foreign key dependencies that transactional records require during subsequent migration phases.
Migrate financial documents with original posting dates
GL vouchers are imported as account.move records with line_ids referencing the cross-referenced account IDs. Open purchase and sales invoices are migrated as account.move records with move_type set to in_invoice or out_invoice, preserving original invoice_date, due_date, and payment terms. Tax lines are resolved using the tax cross-reference table before insertion. Posting dates are validated against Odoo periods; any backdated entries in closed periods are flagged for admin review.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 500–1,000 transactions across GL vouchers, invoices, and inventory quants — migrates first against a staging Odoo database. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against the Odoo records, verifying account mapping, tax resolution, partner linkage, and date preservation. You review the diff and confirm the mapping plan before the full migration commits.
Cut over with delta pickup and audit log
The full migration loads into the production Odoo instance. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any new transactions created in eBIZ SMARTZ during the cutover. FlitStack AI maintains a read-only connection to the source throughout the window. An audit log records every operation including record count, account mappings applied, and tax resolutions. One-click rollback is available if the Odoo trial balance does not reconcile with the source trial balance.
