Migrate from IS Packaging to Odoo ERP

IS Packaging Items map to Odoo product.product records. Item number becomes default_code (the SKU field), description maps to name, uom maps to Odoo uom_id (with uom_category mapping for unit conversions), and costing layers map to Odoo's standard cost, average cost, or fifo depending on the costing method configured in the destination. Custom fields on Items are inventoried during discovery and created as custom product attributes or ir.property values before import.

IS Packaging BOMs map to Odoo mrp.bom records with bom_line entries for each component. Phantom assembly flags from IS Packaging map to Odoo's phantom BoM type on mrp.bom. Routing steps (work center sequences) map to Odoo mrp.workcenter and mrp.routing.WorkcenterLine records. BOM revision cross-referencing is the critical step: IS Packaging BOM revisions are matched to Odoo product variants or Odoo's engineering version field during import. We build a revision cross-reference table during discovery that maps each source BOM revision ID to the destination product variant or bom_line set.

IS Packaging Production Orders map to Odoo mrp.production. The source BOM reference resolves to the destination mrp.bom ID at migration time. Production order status mapping is required: IS Packaging plant-specific statuses (e.g., released, in-progress, partially complete) map to Odoo's confirmed, in_progress, and done states via a status matrix built during discovery. Open Production Orders with partial completion percentages are migrated as mrp.production records with the qty_producing field set to the partial completion value and product_qty adjusted to the remaining quantity.

IS Packaging Work Orders tied to Production Orders map to Odoo mrp.workorder records linked to the parent mrp.production. Scheduling timestamps, work center assignment, and labor hours migrate to Odoo's duration fields. If IS Packaging uses different work center naming conventions per plant, we normalize work center names across the migration into a unified Odoo mrp.workcenter setup before Work Orders are imported.

IS Packaging Finished Goods Locations map to Odoo stock.location records under the 'Stock' location type. Lot/serial numbers stored at the location level migrate as stock.lot records with product_id linked to the destination product and location_id set to the destination stock.location. On-hand quantities from the location record migrate as stock.quant records at import time.

IS Packaging inventory transaction history (receipts, issues, adjustments) maps to Odoo stock.move records. Large transaction volumes require chunked extraction sequenced chronologically to preserve the inventory ledger integrity. We chunk transactions by date range and plant, resolve product_id and location_id references for each batch, and use Odoo's stock.move creation API in batches to avoid timeouts. Adjustment transactions map to stock.valuation record equivalents.

IS Packaging Customer Orders map to Odoo sale.order with line items on sale.order.line. Order headers carry customer reference, terms, and pricing rules; lines carry item, quantity, and pricing. Any custom pricing rules or exceptions in IS Packaging are flagged for manual review before import. Open orders migrate with their current fulfillment status; historical orders migrate with a state of 'done' or 'sale' to prevent unintended workflow actions.

IS Packaging Vendor masters map to Odoo res.partner records with the supplier flag set. Contact info, payment terms, and item-supplier cross-references migrate as vendor-related fields on the partner record. Item-supplier cross-references (preferred vendors per item) migrate to product.supplierinfo records linked to the product.product and res.partner vendor.

IS Packaging Chart of Accounts maps to Odoo account.account. Account codes and names migrate directly. Account type mapping (asset, liability, equity, revenue, expense) follows Odoo's account.account type taxonomy. Any inactive or intercompany accounts from IS Packaging are flagged in the mapping document for the customer's admin to reactivate or consolidate before import. We do not migrate IS Packaging journal entries; only the account structure is migrated, and beginning balances are set manually by the customer's accountant post-migration.

Custom fields added to standard IS Packaging objects (Items, BOMs, Production Orders) are inventoried during discovery with their data types and current values. We pre-create the equivalent Odoo custom fields using Odoo Studio or direct XML data migration before the main import phase. Custom field values are then mapped and imported as part of each object's migration batch. The customer chooses during scoping whether custom fields become native Odoo fields (using Studio) or ir.property override records.
