Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from ERPAG to Odoo ERP is a structural migration for manufacturing and distribution businesses that have outgrown ERPAG's feature-gated Advanced plan or its limited third-party integration ecosystem. Odoo offers a modular architecture spanning CRM, manufacturing, inventory, accounting, HR, and eCommerce under a single platform, with Community edition available as open-source and Enterprise covering higher-scale deployments. We map ERPAG's Items to Odoo Product variants, Sales Orders to Odoo Sale Orders, Work Orders to mrp.production, and BOMs to mrp.bom with multi-level nesting preserved. ERPAG's Advanced-plan-only Customization and Automation features, B2B portal configuration, and Blockly scripts do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of these objects for the customer's Odoo administrator to rebuild post-migration. We flag the 2 req/sec API rate limit during scoping and schedule bulk export phases during off-peak hours to avoid blocking live operations.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

ERPAG logo

ERPAG

What's pushing teams away

  • No human resources module — businesses needing employee tracking, payroll, or HR workflows must bolt on a separate system or migrate entirely.
  • Limited third-party app integrations beyond the advertised eCommerce and QuickBooks connectors; some users report difficulty finding or enabling integrations.
  • Manufacturing cost estimation gaps cause frustration when input prices fluctuate due to inflation, exchange rates, or supply disruptions.
  • Advanced features like Automation and Customer Portal are gated behind the Advanced plan, pushing growing companies toward unexpected upgrade costs.
  • The platform lacks negative inventory handling, and concurrent-user write conflicts can create phantom negative quantities that require manual repair.

Choosing

Odoo ERP logo

Odoo ERP

What's pulling them in

  • Modular pay-as-you-grow model with 80+ apps under one database — teams start with CRM and add Accounting, Inventory, or Manufacturing without switching platforms.
  • Free Community edition lets businesses validate Odoo fit before committing to Enterprise licensing costs that scale with user count.
  • Lowest per-user pricing among mid-market ERPs, with a published free tier for one app and Standard plans starting around $24.90 per user per month.
  • Native integration between modules — a confirmed Sales Order automatically updates inventory, invoicing, and accounting without manual re-entry.
  • Strong Odoo Gold Partner ecosystem provides local implementation support, reducing risk for companies without in-house developers.

Object mapping

How ERPAG objects map to Odoo ERP

Each row shows how a ERPAG 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.

ERPAG

Items (Products)

maps to

Odoo ERP

Product.product

1:1
Fully supported

ERPAG Items map to Odoo Product records. We preserve SKU, product description, standard cost, sale price, and stock levels. ERPAG's per-warehouse stock levels require multi-warehouse activation in Odoo and map to stock.quant records tied to the correct stock.location. ERPAG's barcode field maps to product.barcode. Stock-keeping unit type (stockable, consumable, service) carries over as product.type. Multi-warehouse item assignments require location-based lookups during import rather than a direct field-to-field transfer.

ERPAG

Customers

maps to

Odoo ERP

res.partner

1:1
Fully supported

ERPAG Customer records map to Odoo res.partner with the customer flag set to True. We transfer contact name, billing address, shipping address, payment terms, and financial overview fields. ERPAG's B2B portal assignment (Advanced plan only) does not migrate because the portal configuration is ERPAG-specific; we document the customer portal access list as a reference for the customer's Odoo administrator to configure in Odoo Portal post-migration. ERPAG's financial overview balance fields map to receivable account fields in Odoo Partner accounting properties.

ERPAG

Suppliers

maps to

Odoo ERP

res.partner

1:1
Fully supported

ERPAG Supplier records map to Odoo res.partner with the supplier flag set to True. We preserve contact data, purchasing terms, and the double-SKU cross-reference fields that map ERPAG's internal SKU to the supplier's own SKU. This supplier-SKU mapping is critical for Purchase Order automation in Odoo and is stored in Odoo's seller_ids on the Product record. ERPAG's payment terms on Supplier records map to Odoo's property_supplier_payment_term on res.partner.

ERPAG

Sales Orders

maps to

Odoo ERP

sale.order

1:1
Fully supported

ERPAG Sales Orders map to Odoo sale.order with line items, pricing, order status, and payment status preserved. ERPAG's payment_status column from the XLS export maps to Odoo's order state (sale_order_state or invoice_status depending on the Odoo configuration). ERPAG linked documents and custom fields on Sales Orders require file export from ERPAG and re-upload to Odoo as ir.attachment records linked to the sale.order. Packing list associations migrate as delivery order references.

ERPAG

Invoices

maps to

Odoo ERP

account.move

1:1
Fully supported

ERPAG Invoices map to Odoo account.move records of type out_invoice. ERPAG's invoice status (issued, paid, credit note) maps to Odoo's state and invoice_payment_state fields. ERPAG credit notes map to Odoo account.move of type out_refund. Tax amounts and currency codes from ERPAG carry over to Odoo's tax line structure and currency settings. Historical paid invoices retain their payment records in Odoo accounting. ERPAG e-invoice formats (Norway EHF is supported in ERPAG) require separate configuration in Odoo through a localization module.

ERPAG

Purchase Orders

maps to

Odoo ERP

purchase.order

1:1
Fully supported

ERPAG Purchase Orders map to Odoo purchase.order with supplier reference, line items, and fulfillment status. Goods received state from ERPAG maps to Odoo's delivered quantity on purchase.order.line. ERPAG's double-SKU supplier entry maps to the seller_ids on the Odoo Product record during import. Purchase Order attachments migrate as ir.attachment records. If ERPAG's Advanced Automation triggers purchase orders automatically, that logic is documented separately for Odoo purchase procurement rules rebuild.

ERPAG

Quotations

maps to

Odoo ERP

sale.order (quotation state)

1:1
Fully supported

ERPAG Quotations map to Odoo sale.order records in the draft (quotation) state. Validity dates, line item pricing, and custom fields carry over. ERPAG quotation-to-Sales-Order conversion references are noted in the migration inventory as Odoo sales team may want to create follow-up opportunities from these records. Odoo merges quotation and order into a single model; ERPAG separates them, so quotation history is preserved as Odoo sale.order records with state=draft.

ERPAG

Work Orders

maps to

Odoo ERP

mrp.production

1:1
Fully supported

ERPAG Work Orders map to Odoo mrp.production (manufacturing orders). BOM references, production status, and cost data transfer including ERPAG's estimated versus actual cost fields. Production scheduling dates from ERPAG map to Odoo mrp.production date_planned_start and date_finished. ERPAG work order dependencies and routing sequences require mapping to Odoo mrp.workorder if the customer's ERPAG setup uses multi-step routing. Status values (pending, in progress, completed, cancelled) map to Odoo's confirmed, progress, done, cancel states.

ERPAG

Warehouses

maps to

Odoo ERP

stock.warehouse

lossy
Mapping required

ERPAG warehouses map to Odoo stock.warehouse records with independent tax, currency, and price list configurations. Multi-warehouse activation in Odoo must be enabled before import. ERPAG's per-warehouse price lists map to Odoo's product.pricelist records associated with each warehouse's location hierarchy. Geo-location data from ERPAG warehouses maps to Odoo stock.location records within the warehouse. Each warehouse must be configured in Odoo with corresponding incoming and outgoing picking types before stock quant import begins.

ERPAG

Bill of Materials (BOM)

maps to

Odoo ERP

mrp.bom

1:1
Fully supported

ERPAG BOMs map to Odoo mrp.bom records. Multi-level BOM nesting (BOM referencing sub-assemblies that are themselves BOMs) preserves structure in Odoo's product.product and mrp.bom hierarchy. BOM type (kit versus manufacturing) maps from ERPAG's BOM type selection. ERPAG BOM cost data transfers to Odoo's Product standard cost field, with estimated versus actual cost preserved as metadata on the mrp.production record. ERPAG BOMs associated with Items export from the Items endpoint and require cross-reference resolution to establish the Odoo product-product BOM linkage.

ERPAG

Users and User Roles

maps to

Odoo ERP

res.users

1:1
Mapping required

ERPAG user records and role-based permission assignments map to Odoo res.users with internal user type. We export all active and inactive users from ERPAG and map their role assignments to Odoo access rights groups (Inventory User, Manufacturing User, Sales User, etc.). ERPAG document restriction rules map partially to Odoo's record rules (ir.rule) but permission sets are destination-specific and require rebuild by the customer's Odoo administrator. Active versus inactive status carries over to user.active in Odoo.

ERPAG

Custom Fields

maps to

Odoo ERP

ir.model.fields (custom)

1:1
Mapping required

ERPAG custom field definitions on Items, Sales Orders, Customers, Suppliers, and Work Orders are enumerated during scoping. ERPAG custom fields use Administration > Custom Fields for document-linked and arbitrary value types, with up to 15 custom fields per document. We map these to Odoo Properties (ir.property) for cross-model fields or create custom field columns (ir.model.fields) via Odoo Studio or direct SQL migration for object-specific fields. Document-linked ERPAG custom fields export as file attachments and re-attach in Odoo to the corresponding record.

Pair-specific challenges

  • ERPAG API rate limit of 2 req/sec extends bulk migration windows

    ERPAG's Smart API enforces a hard 2 requests per second cap across all authenticated endpoints. For migrations involving thousands of items, orders, and invoices, this ceiling extends the migration window considerably. We handle this by implementing request pacing on our end, chunking historical data by date ranges, running export phases during off-peak hours, and using the XLS export endpoint as a parallel path for large record sets to reduce API call count. Without pacing, large accounts can see migration timelines double or triple solely due to rate throttling.

  • Localization settings do not retroactively rewrite existing ERPAG documents

    ERPAG's language, currency, date format, and tax code settings are initialized at company creation and do not retroactively apply to existing documents. If a customer changed their base currency or tax jurisdiction after creating documents, all historical records retain the original values. We flag this during scoping and recommend separating historical document migration from live go-live configuration. ERPAG customers using Norwegian EHF invoicing or country-specific tax codes will need Odoo localization modules installed separately post-migration.

  • ERPAG Advanced-plan custom fields use linked documents not standard API

    ERPAG custom fields on documents can include linked document references (pointing to external files) and arbitrary value fields. These do not export through the standard Smart API GET endpoints; they require ERPAG's file export mechanism. We enumerate all custom field definitions during scoping, map them to Odoo Properties or custom field columns, and handle linked documents as file attachments that must be exported separately and re-uploaded to Odoo as ir.attachment records. If ERPAG was on a Basic or Professional plan, these Advanced-level custom field definitions do not exist in the data export.

  • ERPAG Delete-all-transactions leaves master data intact

    The 'Delete all transactions' option in ERPAG Administration > Database/Backup removes sales history, purchasing history, and work orders but leaves Items, Customers, and Suppliers untouched. Customers using this to clean up a trial period will still have a populated Items and Partners database for migration, which is useful, but transaction history will be gone. We detect this by cross-referencing item stock levels against transaction history to identify a pre-cleaned database and adjust the migration scope to focus on master data rather than historical transactional records.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful ERPAG to Odoo ERP data migration

  1. Discovery and scoping

    We audit the ERPAG account across plan tier (Basic/Professional/Advanced), data volume by object (Items, Customers, Suppliers, Sales Orders, Invoices, Purchase Orders, Work Orders, BOMs), custom field count and type, multi-warehouse configuration, and BOM nesting depth. We also identify any Advanced-plan features in use (Automation, B2B portal, custom document types) and flag them as non-migratable. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts per object, a data quality assessment, and a recommended Odoo edition (Community for open-source, Enterprise for HR, Studio, and support SLAs).

  2. Odoo staging schema design

    We design the destination Odoo configuration: install required apps (Sales, Purchase, Inventory, Manufacturing, Accounting), activate multi-warehouse if applicable, configure UoM categories and units matching ERPAG product types, set up taxes and fiscal positions from ERPAG tax codes, configure pricelists, and design the BOM hierarchy. We create custom fields on Odoo objects matching ERPAG custom field definitions and deploy everything to an Odoo sandbox or test database for validation before production migration begins.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into the Odoo test environment using production-like data volumes. The customer reconciles record counts (Items in, Customers in, Suppliers in, Sales Orders in, Invoices in, Work Orders in, BOMs in), spot-checks 25-50 records against the ERPAG source for field-level accuracy, and reviews the BOM structure and multi-warehouse stock assignments. Any field mapping corrections, BOM nesting adjustments, or pricing rule modifications happen in the staging environment before production migration begins.

  4. Data preparation and cleanup

    We apply ERPAG database repairs for any phantom negative quantities detected during export, remove exact duplicate Items and Suppliers, resolve the double-SKU cross-reference to populate Odoo seller_ids correctly, and map ERPAG currency codes to Odoo res.currency records. If the customer changed localization settings after creating historical documents, we document the affected record ranges and flag the reporting impact rather than attempting retroactive rewrite.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in the correct dependency sequence: currencies and UoMs first, then Warehouses and Locations, then Products and Products with BOMs (second pass after BOMs exist), then Partners (Customers and Suppliers), then Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Invoices, Work Orders, and finally Activity history including Notes and attachments. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. The ERPAG Smart API rate limit of 2 req/sec is managed through request pacing and off-peak scheduling throughout.

  6. Go-live, validation, and automation handoff

    We freeze ERPAG writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo as the system of record. We validate stock levels across warehouses, confirm Work Order statuses, and verify BOM structure in the live environment. We deliver a written inventory of all ERPAG Automation scripts, B2B portal configurations, and Blockly customizations with Odoo equivalents for the customer's administrator to rebuild. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuild, sequence rebuild, and training are outside standard scope and require a separate engagement.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

ERPAG

Source

Strengths

  • Transparent per-seat pricing with a 15-day free trial and no long-term contract required.
  • Built-in MRP (Material Requirements Planning) for manufacturing businesses with BOM management and work order tracking.
  • Multi-warehouse support with per-warehouse tax, currency, and price list settings.
  • B2B customer portal with Stripe payment integration for wholesale and field-agent self-service ordering.
  • Customization via JSON/XML designer and Blockly scripting allows building custom document types and API endpoints.

Weaknesses

  • No native HR or payroll module, requiring a separate system for employee management.
  • Automation and customer portal features are Advanced-plan exclusives, limiting functionality at lower tiers.
  • API is rate-limited to 2 requests per second, making large historical data migrations time-intensive.
  • No support for negative inventory quantities; concurrent writes can create phantom negative balances requiring manual cleanup.
  • Limited third-party ecosystem compared to larger ERPs, with fewer pre-built connectors beyond eCommerce platforms.

Strengths

  • Modular architecture with 80+ apps sharing one database — add Sales, Accounting, Inventory, and Manufacturing incrementally.
  • Free Community edition for self-hosting with no per-user license cost, backed by an active open-source community.
  • Per-user pricing starting around $24.90/month on Standard, significantly lower than comparable ERPs like NetSuite or SAP.
  • Automatic workflow propagation across modules — a confirmed sales order updates inventory, triggers invoicing, and posts accounting entries without manual steps.
  • Odoo.sh provides a managed cloud hosting environment with CI/CD for custom module deployment and staging databases.

Weaknesses

  • Performance suffers under heavy customization — large implementations with many active modules require dedicated optimization.
  • No single-click migration between Odoo major versions; each release introduces ORM changes, deprecated API calls, and schema revisions requiring manual adaptation.
  • Per-user and per-module licensing costs can escalate unpredictably for growing teams adding multiple apps.
  • Steep learning curve with hundreds of configuration options across dozens of modules creates adoption friction and training requirements.
  • Support tiers on Enterprise have inconsistent response times, pushing some customers toward alternatives with more reliable SLAs.

Most ERPAG migrations land between four and six weeks for accounts with up to 10,000 items, 5,000 orders, and no multi-level BOM complexity. Accounts with multiple warehouses, deep BOM nesting (sub-assemblies with their own BOMs), large purchase order histories, or pricing rule complexity extend to ten to sixteen weeks because of the additional BOM hierarchy work, multi-warehouse stock mapping, and the Odoo staging validation phase.
