Overview
Moving from iXERP Standard to Odoo ERP is a cross-platform ERP migration that requires navigating iXERP's undocumented REST API, proprietary CSV template formats, and multi-currency master data alongside Odoo's modular app architecture and account-code structure. iXERP holds data across financials, supply chain, CRM, and HR modules with no public API reference, so we perform live endpoint discovery during scoping, validate field names and pagination against a scoped test export, and build the field map before any production read begins. We map iXERP's Customers, Vendors, Items, Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Invoices, Projects, Tasks, Employees, and Chart of Accounts to their Odoo counterparts, handling the multi-currency and re-order-level configurations that differ between platforms. Document attachments migrate as URL references only. Workflows, alerts, and re-order notifications from iXERP do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every automation for the customer's Odoo partner or admin to rebuild in Odoo Studio or via server actions.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a iXERP Standard 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.
iXERP Standard
Customer
Odoo ERP
Contact (company type)
1:1iXERP Customer records map to Odoo Contacts with the Company Type flag set to 'company'. The customer name, address fields, phone, email, and outstanding invoice balance migrate as standard contact fields. Any financial credit limit and payment terms stored in iXERP map to Odoo's credit_limit and property_payment_term_id fields. We resolve multi-address records as separate Odoo Contact addresses under the same parent company contact.
iXERP Standard
Vendor
Odoo ERP
Contact (company type)
1:1iXERP Vendor records map to Odoo Contacts with the Company Type flag set to 'company' and the Supplier flag enabled. Vendor payment terms and accounts payable balance carry across as property_supplier_payment_term_id and the current payable amount. We flag any duplicate vendor names against the existing customer list during pre-flight.
iXERP Standard
Item
Odoo ERP
Product
1:1iXERP Items (stock SKUs, non-stock items, and services) map to Odoo Product records. Item codes become the Product's default_code (SKU), cost prices map to standard_price, and selling prices map to list_price. The iXERP re-order level maps to Odoo's route-specific reordering rules if the Odoo Inventory app is activated. Serial and batch tracking fields migrate as tracking attributes on the Product.
iXERP Standard
Purchase Order
Odoo ERP
Purchase Order
1:1iXERP Purchase Orders map directly to Odoo Purchase Orders. PO headers (vendor reference, date, terms) and line items (item, quantity, unit price) migrate with status preserved. We map iXERP's received-to-date values to Odoo's delivered quantities, and any linked Goods Received Notes map as Odoo incoming shipments if the Inventory app is active.
iXERP Standard
Sales Order
Odoo ERP
Sale Order
1:1iXERP Sales Orders map to Odoo Sale Orders with customer reference, order date, and line items preserved. Fulfilment status (pending, partial, shipped) migrates to the corresponding Odoo delivery state. If the Odoo Inventory app is active, linked delivery orders are created; if not, the fulfilment tracking remains as an order state field. Historical orders retain their original dates for reporting continuity.
iXERP Standard
Invoice (AR/AP)
Odoo ERP
Customer Invoice / Vendor Bill
1:1iXERP Issues (sales) and Receipts (purchases) Invoices map to Odoo Account Move records with move_type of out_invoice and in_invoice respectively. Multi-line detail, tax codes, and payment status migrate. We agree the invoice type mapping upfront during scoping because iXERP invoice terminology differs from Odoo's Receivables/Payables model. Any partially paid invoices carry the residual amount into Odoo's residual field.
iXERP Standard
Chart of Accounts
Odoo ERP
Account
lossyThe iXERP general ledger structure (account codes, names, and classifications) maps to Odoo Account records. We apply a country-specific Odoo chart of accounts template during initial Odoo setup, then create or modify accounts to match iXERP codes and types. Account types (Asset, Liability, Equity, Income, Expense) map to Odoo's accountType field, and tax codes map to Odoo's tax templates. This step must complete before any Invoice or Bank transaction import.
iXERP Standard
Bank/Cash Account
Odoo ERP
Journal
lossyiXERP bank and cash account balances and transaction histories map to Odoo Account Journals. We create bank and cash journals in Odoo matching the iXERP account structure, carry opening balances as Odoo Statement starting balances, and import historical transaction lines as bank statement lines. Reconciliation data migrates where transaction dates and reference fields allow.
iXERP Standard
Project
Odoo ERP
Project
1:1iXERP Projects map to Odoo Project records with project manager, milestones, and budget fields preserved. We map project status, start and end dates, and any custom project fields to Odoo's extended project fields or custom fields. If the Odoo Timesheet app is active, task hours carry across; otherwise they remain as project task time-entry records.
iXERP Standard
Task
Odoo ERP
Task
1:1iXERP Tasks belonging to Projects map to Odoo Project Tasks with the project relationship preserved. Assignee, status, planned hours, and logged hours migrate. We carry the task-to-project hierarchy and any milestone associations from iXERP into Odoo's task structure and sub-task nesting.
iXERP Standard
Employee
Odoo ERP
Employee
1:1iXERP HR Employee records (personal details, job roles, departments, and compensation fields) map to Odoo Employees. We handle effective-dated fields and multi-address records carefully, mapping department to Odoo's Department and job title to the Employee's job_title. Compensation fields migrate as custom fields or to the Odoo Payroll app if activated.
iXERP Standard
Inventory Transaction
Odoo ERP
Stock Move
1:1iXERP stock movements, adjustments, and transfers migrate as Odoo Stock Moves. Historical transaction volume can be large; we scope the migration by a customer-agreed date range and flag any truncation required due to destination data-volume constraints. If Odoo Inventory is not activated, we skip this object and note the gap in the migration summary.

iXERP Standard gotchas
API endpoint schema is not publicly documented
CSV templates use a proprietary structure
Document links point to external cloud storage
Rate limiting is undocumented and must be tested empirically
Odoo ERP gotchas
No rollback for CSV imports
External ID conflicts on re-import
Many2many field encoding in CSV imports
Large export timeouts require batching
Version schema drift between Odoo releases

Migration approach
Discovery and environment audit
We audit the source iXERP Standard environment across all active modules, identifying record counts for Customers, Vendors, Items, Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Invoices, Projects, Tasks, Employees, Bank/Cash Accounts, and Inventory Transactions. We perform live API schema discovery by probing each module endpoint directly, extracting field names, data types, and pagination limits from a scoped test export. We also review any active CSV templates and custom field configurations. This produces a written migration scope, a preliminary field map, and a timeline estimate.
Odoo environment setup and Chart of Accounts configuration
We configure a new Odoo environment using the appropriate country-specific chart of accounts template, activating only the apps needed for the migration scope. We create or modify account codes to match iXERP's general ledger structure, set up bank and cash journals, configure tax templates, and establish multi-currency settings if iXERP uses more than one currency. This step must complete before any transactional record import begins because Invoice and Bank transaction records require valid account references.
Sandbox migration and field mapping validation
We run a full migration into an Odoo sandbox using a representative data sample (typically 10-20 percent of production volume). We validate field-level mapping by spot-checking 25-50 records against the iXERP source, reconciling record counts for each object, and confirming that account codes, tax codes, and currency amounts resolve correctly. Any mapping corrections, missing fields, or validation rule conflicts are resolved here before production migration begins.
Owner and employee reconciliation
We extract every distinct user referenced on iXERP records (purchase approvers, sales owners, project managers, employees) and match them against the Odoo environment's Users and Employees. Any unresolved references go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. This step is critical for Projects, Tasks, and Employee records because OwnerId and Employee_id references must resolve before transactional imports proceed.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Chart of Accounts and Journals first (prerequisite for all financial transactions), then Customers and Vendors, then Items, then Purchase Orders and Sales Orders (with line items after header records), then Invoices, then Projects and Tasks, then Employees, then Bank/Cash transactions, then Inventory Transactions (date-range scoped). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Odoo's batch import with field mapping validation and implement exponential back-off on any API throttling responses.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze iXERP writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration run, then enable Odoo as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of every iXERP workflow, alert, re-order notification, and automation with a recommended Odoo equivalent (Odoo Studio actions, server actions, or scheduled actions). We do not rebuild iXERP automations as Odoo configurations inside the migration scope. We support a one-week post-go-live window where we resolve any reconciliation discrepancies raised by the customer's team.
