Overview
Moving from Jeeves ERP to Dolibarr is a migration from a closed, Scandinavian-market ERP with no public API to an open-source, community-driven ERP with a REST API and modular feature activation. Jeeves operates each customer on an isolated private-cloud schema, so all data extraction requires coordination with Jeeves's implementation team before migration can begin. We sequence the migration by extracting data in a Jeeves-coordinated format, mapping Chart of Accounts, Customers, Vendors, Items, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Projects, and BOM structures into Dolibarr's equivalent modules. Dolibarr's accounting module handles basic entries and VAT but lacks the multi-currency and inter-company consolidation depth of Jeeves Expand, so we flag this gap during scoping. Manufacturing BOMs require careful reduction or restructuring if they exceed Dolibarr's module scope. Custom workflows, automation rules, and Additive Solutions are not migrated as executable logic; we deliver a written specification document for recreation in Dolibarr. Historical transaction volume is scoped with the customer upfront to avoid the common post-migration discovery that historical data was left behind.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Jeeves ERP 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.
Jeeves ERP
Chart of Accounts
Dolibarr ERP
Accounting module (Chart of Accounts)
1:1Jeeves hierarchical chart of accounts (balance sheet and P&L structures) maps directly to Dolibarr's accounting module. Account codes, names, and account types transfer 1:1, and we preserve the full account hierarchy structure. Jeeves Expand multi-currency account assignments require reduction: Dolibarr's standard accounting module handles single-currency entries with basic VAT; multi-currency support in Dolibarr requires the multi-currency extension or manual currency assignment per transaction. We flag any Jeeves account with a non-base currency for customer review before import.
Jeeves ERP
Customer
Dolibarr ERP
Thirdparty (Customer type)
1:1Jeeves customer records (contact details, billing/shipping addresses, credit limits, payment terms) map 1:1 to Dolibarr Thirdparty records with the Customer type flag. We use the customer name as the dedupe key during import and preserve credit limit and payment term settings in Dolibarr's corresponding Thirdparty fields. Multi-address assignments in Jeeves map to Dolibarr's Addresses table linked via the Address object.
Jeeves ERP
Vendor
Dolibarr ERP
Thirdparty (Supplier type)
1:1Jeeves vendor master records mirror the customer structure with supplier-specific fields. They map directly to Dolibarr Thirdparty with the Supplier type flag, preserving payment terms, bank details, and supplier-specific pricing references. Vendor multi-currency settings reduce to Dolibarr's currency field with the multi-currency extension flagged if applicable.
Jeeves ERP
Item (Product/Inventory)
Dolibarr ERP
Product or Service
1:1Jeeves Items (products and materials with BOMs, routing, cost layers, and UoM settings) map to Dolibarr Product records with type distinction between stockable, service, and consumable. Cost data, UoM settings, and item codes migrate directly. We scope the BOM complexity during planning: if Jeeves items use multi-level BOMs beyond Dolibarr's standard BOM module scope, we flag the records requiring BOM reduction or third-party module activation before import.
Jeeves ERP
Sales Order
Dolibarr ERP
Customer Order
1:1Jeeves Sales Orders (header and line-item detail with delivery schedules and pricing) map to Dolibarr Customer Order. We preserve line items, quantities, delivery dates, and pricing. Open orders migrate as draft or pending status; we use the Jeeves order number as a reference field in Dolibarr. Closed orders migrate as historical records without active workflow status.
Jeeves ERP
Purchase Order
Dolibarr ERP
Supplier Order
1:1Jeeves Purchase Orders map to Dolibarr Supplier Order with the same treatment as Customer Orders: line items, quantities, pricing, and delivery schedules transfer directly. Open purchase orders land as pending status in Dolibarr; closed ones become historical records. Supplier reference and approval status from Jeeves map to Dolibarr's supplier order fields.
Jeeves ERP
Project
Dolibarr ERP
Project
1:1Jeeves Projects with time tracking, expense recording, and resource assignments map to Dolibarr Project. Associated tasks, milestones, and time entries transfer to Dolibarr's task and timesheet structures. Project status (active, on hold, closed) maps directly. If Jeeves Projects use custom fields beyond the standard schema, we recreate them as Dolibarr extra fields before migration.
Jeeves ERP
Bill of Materials
Dolibarr ERP
BOM (Manufacturing module)
lossyJeeves BOM structures and work center assignments map to Dolibarr's BOM module, but multi-level BOMs and alternate routings require careful sequencing to avoid circular reference errors during import. We reduce complex multi-level BOMs to single-level where Dolibarr's standard BOM module is activated, or we flag records requiring the advanced manufacturing module or a third-party BOM extension. The customer selects BOM reduction strategy during scoping before migration begins.
Jeeves ERP
Fixed Asset
Dolibarr ERP
Asset (accounting module)
1:1Jeeves Fixed Assets (acquisition cost, depreciation schedule, and asset category) map to Dolibarr Asset records with acquisition details and depreciation method preserved. Country-specific depreciation localization from Jeeves requires mapping to Dolibarr's depreciation method options. Current book values transfer; the depreciation schedule is recalculated or preserved based on customer preference. Assets without a corresponding account in the Dolibarr chart of accounts require account creation before import.
Jeeves ERP
Open AP / Open AR
Dolibarr ERP
Invoice and Banking entries
1:1Outstanding payables and receivables in Jeeves (standard ledger documents with line-item detail, due dates, and amounts) map to Dolibarr Customer Invoice or Supplier Invoice records in open status. We preserve the full line-item detail, due dates, and amounts. Closed invoices migrate as historical records. Payment mappings from Jeeves transfer to Dolibarr payment entries linked to the corresponding invoice.
Jeeves ERP
Journal Entry
Dolibarr ERP
Accounting > Miscellaneous Operations
1:1Jeeves Journal Entries (date, description, and debit/credit lines with account assignments) map to Dolibarr Miscellaneous Operations entries in the accounting module. We preserve journal entry numbering schemes and reversing entry flags where configured, mapping the debit/credit line structure to Dolibarr's accounting entry format. Journal entries without a corresponding account in the migrated chart of accounts escalate to the customer for resolution before processing.
Jeeves ERP
User
Dolibarr ERP
User
1:1Jeeves user records (role assignments, team memberships, and permissions) map to Dolibarr User records. We resolve users by email match against the destination Dolibarr instance. Jeeves roles do not map directly to Dolibarr permissions; we create Dolibarr users with placeholder permissions and deliver a role mapping specification for the customer's admin to configure post-migration. Users without a matching Dolibarr account go to a reconciliation queue.
Jeeves ERP
Document / Attachment
Dolibarr ERP
Document management (linked to parent)
1:1Jeeves document attachments on business objects export as binary blobs and re-associate to the migrated parent record in Dolibarr via the document management module. Large attachment volumes require advance scoping and chunked export/import. We re-create the attachment relationship by matching the original document reference to the new Dolibarr record ID. File format compatibility is verified during scoping.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Jeeves team engagement
We audit the source Jeeves ERP instance across edition (Start, Grow, Expand), schema documentation, custom fields, user-defined workflows, item catalog size, BOM complexity, open order volume, and historical transaction scope. In parallel, we initiate contact with Jeeves's implementation team to establish data export procedures and agree on delivery format (typically CSV export coordinated by Jeeves from the customer's isolated schema). We deliver a written migration scope document covering object inventory, estimated record counts, BOM complexity tier, and a preliminary Jeeves team coordination timeline.
Dolibarr instance provisioning and module activation
We provision the target Dolibarr instance (self-hosted or DoliCloud SaaS per customer preference) and activate the modules required by the migration scope: accounting, thirdparty (CRM), products, stock, BOM (manufacturing), projects, and orders. We pre-create Dolibarr extra fields to accommodate Jeeves custom fields, configure the chart of accounts matching the Jeeves account structure, and set up multi-currency handling if applicable (with the customer deciding on the multi-currency extension before this step). Schema configuration is validated in a staging environment before production migration begins.
Data extraction from Jeeves and staging import
We coordinate the Jeeves data extraction in the agreed format (CSV or database export), receiving the data from Jeeves's implementation team. We run a staging import into the configured Dolibarr instance, reconciling record counts for each object type (accounts, thirdparties, products, orders, projects), spot-checking 25-50 random records against the Jeeves source, and identifying any field mapping corrections needed before production import. BOM import is tested separately with the reduction strategy applied.
BOM reduction and item restructuring
For manufacturing-heavy migrations, we apply the agreed BOM reduction strategy: multi-level BOMs are flattened to single-level, alternate routings are archived with a reference mapping, and complex work center assignments are simplified to Dolibarr-compatible structures. This step runs in parallel with staging import validation. The customer reviews the reduced BOM structure and approves before it is applied to the production migration dataset.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: chart of accounts first (foundational), then thirdparties (customers and vendors with the dedupe key applied), then products and items (with BOMs resolved), then orders (with parent thirdparty IDs resolved), then projects and time entries, then fixed assets, then open AP/AR and journal entries, then document attachments (re-associated to migrated parent records). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Jeeves user records are mapped by email with a reconciliation queue for any unmatched accounts.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze the Jeeves instance for writes 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 automation inventory document listing every Jeeves workflow and automation rule observed, with a recommended Dolibarr equivalent (native module, third-party module, or custom PHP development). We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Jeeves automations as executable Dolibarr logic; that work is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
