Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Extensiv Order Manager to Dolibarr is a shift from a purpose-built omnichannel OMS to a modular open-source ERP. Extensiv is architected for brands running five or more sales channels across multiple warehouses with logic-based order routing; Dolibarr handles Third Parties, Products, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, and Stock at a fraction of the cost and with full self-hosting control. We map Extensiv Orders to Dolibarr Orders, Extensiv Customers to Dolibarr Third Parties, Extensiv Products to Dolibarr Products with bundle composition preserved in Dolibarr's Bill of Materials, and per-warehouse inventory positions to Dolibarr Stock-Warehouse locations. Multi-warehouse stock positions in Extensiv require consolidation decisions at scoping because Dolibarr's warehouse module is less granular than Extensiv's cross-warehouse routing logic. Integration credentials, order-routing rules, and channel-specific automation do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to evaluate post-migration.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Extensiv Order Manager logo

Extensiv Order Manager

What's pushing teams away

  • Some customers report integration flexibility limitations, noting the platform does not connect to all niche marketplaces or regional sales channels they need.
  • A steep implementation and training curve frustrates teams without dedicated IT resources, with one reviewer noting 2 weeks of post-launch testing was necessary.
  • Pricing is opaque and available only upon request, which causes mid-market companies to seek alternatives with published costs.
  • Known credential validation issues and periodic sync failures cause frustration for operations teams running high-volume order flows.

Choosing

Object mapping

How Extensiv Order Manager objects map to Dolibarr ERP

Each row shows how a Extensiv Order Manager object lands in Dolibarr ERP, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Extensiv Order Manager

Order

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Order (Commande)

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Orders map to Dolibarr Orders (Commande client). We preserve order number, order date, customer reference, order status, line items with SKU and quantity, shipping fees, and warehouse assignment. Sales channel assignment from Extensiv (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart) is stored in a Dolibarr custom field since Dolibarr has no native channel object. We validate that Dolibarr's Order module is activated in the customer's modules configuration before migration begins.

Extensiv Order Manager

Customer

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Third Party (Tiers)

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Customer records map to Dolibarr Third Parties (Societe) in contact mode. We map customer name, email, phone, billing address, and shipping address. Extensiv's per-customer custom fields (pre-configured under Customers > Custom Fields) migrate to Dolibarr extrafields on the Societe table if admin opt-in is confirmed. Multiple shipping addresses per customer in Extensiv map to separate Dolibarr contact addresses under the same Third Party.

Extensiv Order Manager

Product (SKU)

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Product (Produit)

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Products map to Dolibarr Products with type = Product. We preserve SKU (ref), product name, description, cost price (buy price), and sell price. The Extensiv Product module must be activated in Dolibarr and the appropriate price management modules (Customer catalog or Multi-price) enabled to handle the sell price migration. Product weight and dimensions from Extensiv map to Dolibarr weight and volume fields for stock calculations.

Extensiv Order Manager

Bundle / Kit

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Bill of Materials (BOM)

lossy
Fully supported

Extensiv Bundle and Kit products with component-level SKU tracking map to Dolibarr BOM (nomenclature). We preserve the parent SKU, all component SKUs with quantities, and the bundle pricing override if set. Note that Dolibarr BOMs support kit assembly and disassembly workflows but do not natively support pricing overrides at the bundle level the way Extensiv does; bundle-level pricing adjustments in Extensiv require a custom price rule or manual price entry in Dolibarr after migration. The BOM module in Dolibarr must be explicitly activated by the customer's admin.

Extensiv Order Manager

Inventory

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Stock (Warehouse Stock)

1:many
Mapping required

Extensiv per-warehouse inventory positions require a consolidation decision at scoping. If the customer runs multiple Extensiv warehouses, we ask whether Dolibarr will represent each as a separate Warehouse object or whether inventory should be aggregated into one canonical warehouse position. Extensiv's per-SKU, per-warehouse stock quantities map to Dolibarr's Stock-Warehouse-Multiple (Stock > Warehouses) if the Multi-warehouse module is activated, or to a single stock position if simplified tracking is acceptable. FIFO cost basis is stored as a custom price field on Product since Dolibarr's standard stock valuation does not include FIFO.

Extensiv Order Manager

Warehouse

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Warehouse (Entrepot)

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Warehouse records (in-house and 3PL) map to Dolibarr Warehouse (Entrepot) objects. We preserve warehouse name, code, and address. If the customer uses 3PL warehouses connected via Extensiv Integration Management, those warehouse entities migrate to Dolibarr as standard Entrepot records; the customer should understand that Dolibarr has no native 3PL connection management and any ongoing 3PL EDI sync will need to be rebuilt outside Dolibarr.

Extensiv Order Manager

Purchase Order

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Supplier Order (Commande fournisseur)

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Purchase Orders map to Dolibarr Supplier Orders. We preserve PO number, vendor reference, PO date, status, and line items with vendor SKU, quantity, and cost. Vendor records in Extensiv (vendors associated with POs) map to Dolibarr Third Parties in supplier mode (Societe with type = Supplier). Inbound receipt records from Extensiv map to Dolibarr Reception records if the Reception (Receptions) module is activated; otherwise they are flagged as note objects for manual reconciliation.

Extensiv Order Manager

Stock Transfer

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Stock Transfer (Mouvement de stock)

lossy
Fully supported

Extensiv cross-warehouse stock transfers map to Dolibarr Stock Movements (Mouvement de stock) between warehouses. We preserve source warehouse, destination warehouse, SKU, and quantity transferred. Single-warehouse transfers map to a stock movement with the same source and destination warehouse. Note that Dolibarr's stock movement module does not carry a Transfer object type; every cross-warehouse move is represented as an outgoing movement from the source warehouse and an incoming movement to the destination, which we reconcile as a paired set.

Extensiv Order Manager

Shipment

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Shipment (Expedition)

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Shipment records map to Dolibarr Shipments (Expedition) linked to the corresponding customer order. We preserve carrier name, tracking number, shipment date, and shipping cost. The Dolibarr Expedition module must be activated and linked to the customer order before shipment records import. Note that Dolibarr does not natively support carrier rate shopping or multi-carrier label printing; any Extensiv Integration Management carrier logic (such as live rate shopping) is not replicated in Dolibarr.

Extensiv Order Manager

Custom Fields

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Extrafields

lossy
Mapping required

Extensiv Custom Order Info fields and pre-configured Customer custom fields require admin opt-in (Admin > Settings > Enable custom fields) before export. If confirmed, we map these to Dolibarr extrafields on the corresponding tables (llx_commande for orders, llx_societe for third parties). Ad-hoc order-level custom fields from the Custom Order Info section migrate to Dolibarr extrafields on llx_commandedet (order line) if line-level custom data exists. Custom Product Fields from Extensiv's Products > Fields tab migrate to Dolibarr extrafields on llx_product.

Extensiv Order Manager

Reporting Data

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Custom Reports

1:1
Mapping required

Extensiv FIFO cost basis, inventory value, SKU profitability, and inventory aging reports are exported as reference data. We map FIFO unit costs to Dolibarr Product buy price fields and flag inventory value reporting as a custom report requirement to be built in Dolibarr's reporting module or an external BI tool post-migration. We do not migrate the reporting configuration itself; the customer rebuilds dashboard preferences and scheduled reports in Dolibarr's built-in reporting engine.

Extensiv Order Manager

Sales Channels

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Custom Field (no native object)

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Sales Channels (the integration sources attached to orders) have no native Dolibarr equivalent. We store the Extensiv channel name (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, eBay, etc.) as a custom field on each migrated Dolibarr Order record so that historical channel attribution is queryable. Channel connection credentials and ongoing sync settings are documented separately as out-of-scope because Dolibarr does not have an integration management layer equivalent to Extensiv Integration Management.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Integration Management filter mismatches silently drop historical orders

    Extensiv Integration Management skips orders when field values do not match configured filters for Order Status, Payment Status, or date range. Skipped orders are stored in a dedicated section of the Orders tab and can go unnoticed for days before discovery. We cross-check the Skipped Orders log against the full order date range before migration scoping concludes, and we reconcile filter logic with the customer's current Integration Management settings so no historical orders are silently excluded from the export. If the Skipped Orders log contains records that should have migrated, we extract them as a supplemental CSV and merge them into the migration batch before loading.

  • Custom fields require admin opt-in before export runs

    Extensiv Custom Order Info fields and pre-configured custom fields under Customers require the 'Enable custom fields' setting under Admin > Settings to be activated before they appear in the UI or API. Without this, any custom fields the customer has created are not available for extraction even if they contain data. We confirm this setting is active during discovery and flag any custom field objects that would be unmapped if it is not. The fix is a single admin toggle but must be confirmed before the export script runs.

  • Bundle and kit BOM reconstruction in Dolibarr is manual

    Extensiv bundle and kit products with component-level SKU tracking and pricing overrides require explicit Bill of Materials construction in Dolibarr. The Dolibarr BOM module must be activated, and each bundle's parent SKU and component SKUs with quantities must be entered manually or via a structured CSV import. Extensiv bundle pricing overrides at the bundle level do not map automatically to Dolibarr; we preserve the override value as a custom price field on the product and note it for manual price entry post-migration. Bundle optimization settings in Extensiv (dynamic bundle pricing) do not have a Dolibarr equivalent.

  • Multi-warehouse inventory requires a consolidation decision before load

    Extensiv stores inventory as per-SKU, per-warehouse positions with cross-warehouse transfer logic. Dolibarr's Multi-warehouse module supports separate stock positions per warehouse, but the customer's admin must decide whether each Extensiv warehouse becomes a distinct Dolibarr Entrepot or whether inventory should be aggregated into one canonical warehouse position. This decision affects the stock value totals reported in Dolibarr. If aggregation is chosen, we sum per-SKU positions across all Extensiv warehouses into a single Dolibarr stock level. If disaggregation is chosen, we map each Extensiv warehouse to a separate Dolibarr Entrepot. Either decision must be confirmed during scoping before the inventory export begins.

  • Dolibarr lacks native EDI and channel integration management

    Extensiv's Integration Management layer connects to 60+ sales channels and EDI networks (DSCO V3, EDI providers). Dolibarr has no native channel integration ecosystem. We document all active Extensiv Integration Management connections and EDI credentials as part of the migration inventory, but these do not migrate as functional integrations. Any ongoing Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, or EDI order imports that currently run through Extensiv must be reimplemented as separate integrations (native Dolibarr connectors, middleware, or custom API workflows) after migration. This is a significant post-migration admin task for brands with active marketplace presence.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Extensiv Order Manager to Dolibarr ERP data migration

  1. Discovery and module activation audit

    We audit the Extensiv Order Manager account across active modules: Orders, Customers, Products, Warehouses, Inventory, Purchase Orders, Shipments, Bundles/Kits, and any active Custom Fields. We confirm that the 'Enable custom fields' admin setting is active and list all custom field definitions. We audit the Integration Management connections to identify active sales channels, EDI providers, and DSCO credentials. We assess the Skipped Orders log for the full historical date range. In parallel, we review the Dolibarr installation to confirm which modules are activated (Third Party, Product, Stock, Customer Order, Supplier Order, Expedition, BOM) and which need to be enabled by the customer's admin before data loads can succeed.

  2. Warehouse consolidation decision and schema design

    We present the customer with a warehouse consolidation analysis: per-Extensiv-warehouse inventory totals, active 3PL warehouse connections, and cross-warehouse transfer history. The customer chooses between multi-warehouse disaggregation (separate Dolibarr Entrepot per Extensiv warehouse) or aggregation (canonical single warehouse). We design the Dolibarr schema: Third Party types (Customer vs Supplier), Product types (Product vs Service), BOM entries for any Extensiv bundles, extrafield definitions for channel assignment custom fields, extrafield definitions for custom order and customer fields, and warehouse definitions matching the chosen consolidation strategy. Schema is validated in a Dolibarr staging instance before production.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a Dolibarr staging instance using production-like data volume. The customer's team reconciles record counts (Third Parties, Products, Orders, Stock positions), spot-checks 20-40 random records against the Extensiv source for field-level accuracy, and reviews bundle BOM composition for completeness. Bundle pricing overrides are verified against Extensiv bundle pricing settings. Any mapping corrections, missing custom fields, or warehouse consolidation adjustments are resolved in staging before the production migration date is set.

  4. Bundle and kit BOM reconstruction

    We reconstruct Extensiv bundle and kit compositions as Dolibarr BOM entries. For each Extensiv bundle product, we create a Dolibarr BOM of type Kit with all component SKUs and quantities entered per the Extensiv bundle definition. We flag any Extensiv bundle pricing override values as a custom note on the Dolibarr product record for manual post-migration price entry. The BOM module activation is verified before this step; if it is not active, bundle migration is paused until the customer enables it.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Third Parties (vendors first, then customers), Products (with BOM entries created after product base records), Warehouses, Inventory (with per-warehouse positions resolved per the consolidation decision), Purchase Orders, Customer Orders, Shipments, and custom field data (extrafields). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We cross-check the Skipped Orders log as a final supplementary extraction and merge any recovered orders into the order batch before closing the migration.

  6. Cutover, delta sync, and integration handoff

    We freeze Extensiv write access during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then set Dolibarr as the system of record. We deliver the integration and channel inventory document listing all active Extensiv Integration Management connections, EDI credentials, and order-routing rules requiring rebuild. We do not rebuild integration connections as part of the migration scope; the customer's IT team or a Dolibarr integration partner implements the new connectivity layer. We support a five-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues and provide a written reference of all migrated vs unmigrated object types for the customer's records.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 10,000 orders, 3,000 customers, and 5,000 SKUs with no bundle structures. Migrations with kitted products requiring Bill of Materials composition mapping, large per-warehouse inventory datasets (over 50,000 stock position records), open Purchase Orders with inbound receipt history, or multi-warehouse consolidation decisions move to eight to fourteen weeks because of BOM reconstruction, warehouse consolidation logic, and PO line-item resolution. The customer's Dolibarr module activation decisions and custom field scope also affect timeline.
