Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from LOGIC ERP to Dolibarr is a structural migration from a consultant-managed, India-centric mid-market ERP to a modular open-source platform with a REST API. LOGIC ERP has no public API and requires data extraction via built-in Excel and PDF export tools; Dolibarr provides a documented REST API for loading data directly, which fundamentally changes how migration is sequenced. We extract LOGIC ERP data in chunked export batches, validate row counts and checksum totals per batch, and load into Dolibarr in dependency order: Third Parties first, then Products, then Stock, then Orders, then GL entries. India-specific TDS configurations and HSN/SAC code associations require explicit field-level mapping to Dolibarr's VAT and tax code system; GSTIN fields migrate as custom fields. BOM stage sequences and subcontractor job-work configurations migrate as Dolibarr product manufacturing recipes. Workflows, Commission Slabs, Gift Vouchers, and access-control rules do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Dolibarr.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

LOGIC ERP logo

LOGIC ERP

What's pushing teams away

  • Slow performance when downloading large files or fetching heavy data creates friction for finance and operations teams during month-end reporting cycles.
  • Complex access management and permission configuration becomes difficult to govern as the organization scales with more users and roles.
  • No documented public API limits integrations with third-party BI tools, e-commerce platforms, and external automation workflows, causing lock-in concerns.
  • Reports of long implementation timelines and heavy consultant dependence for configuration changes make ongoing ownership costly and slow.
  • Limited advanced analytics in the base tiers pushes data-driven businesses toward platforms with stronger embedded BI and forecasting capabilities.

Choosing

Dolibarr ERP logo

Dolibarr ERP

What's pulling them in

  • Free open-source core with no per-user license fee makes it the lowest-cost entry point for small teams needing ERP and CRM in one package.
  • Self-hosted deployment gives full data ownership and eliminates vendor lock-in, especially attractive to businesses with compliance requirements.
  • Modular architecture means teams enable only the features they use, keeping the interface uncluttered and reducing learning curve.
  • Fast installation with no technical knowledge required — one reviewer set up multiple businesses in minutes using their own hosting.
  • Active community forum and marketplace of third-party add-ons provide support and extension options without mandatory subscription costs.

Object mapping

How LOGIC ERP objects map to Dolibarr ERP

Each row shows how a LOGIC 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.

LOGIC ERP

Inventory Items (with Style/Color/Size Variants)

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Product (with sub-product variants)

1:1
Fully supported

LOGIC ERP item matrices with style/color/size variants, multiple barcodes/EAN codes, and item sets map to Dolibarr Products with sub-product variant linking. We decompose each LOGIC ERP item variant into a parent Product record and individual sub-product variants in Dolibarr. Batch-wise images from LOGIC ERP Ultimate tier migrate as product documents attached via Dolibarr's document management. Multiple price lists from LOGIC ERP Professional and above map to Dolibarr Customer Specific Prices. Item sets map to Dolibarr product packs via the pack module extension.

LOGIC ERP

Party Masters (Customers / Vendors)

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Third Party (Customer / Supplier)

1:1
Mapping required

LOGIC ERP Party Master records with GSTIN, location hierarchies, credit limits, and discount locks map to Dolibarr Third Party records. GSTIN migrates as a custom field on the Third Party record since Dolibarr's default country-specific VAT module targets EU VAT numbers. Discount locks and party-wise defaults map to Dolibarr's pricenegociation and supplierinfo modules where applicable. Location hierarchies map to Dolibarr's address and contact hierarchy.

LOGIC ERP

Sales Orders / Invoices

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Sales Order / Sales Invoice

1:1
Fully supported

Standard sales transactions with line items, taxes, and payment modes migrate to Dolibarr's societe (customer), product, and invoice modules. The salesman/agent assignment maps to a dedicated Dolibarr user field. UPI, cash, and card payment modes from LOGIC ERP POS transactions map to Dolibarr payment modes, with bank account references carried over. Status flags (draft, validated, paid, cancelled) migrate to corresponding Dolibarr object statuses.

LOGIC ERP

Purchase Orders

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Supplier Order / Purchase Invoice

1:1
Fully supported

Purchase transactions including reorder-level-driven POs and supplier/item defaults migrate to Dolibarr supplier orders and purchase invoices. Pre-set item-wise orders from LOGIC ERP Professional tier preserve their defaults as Dolibarr supplier references. TDS deduction amounts from LOGIC ERP map to Dolibarr's vat on payment or withholding configuration, flagged for India-specialist review.

LOGIC ERP

Chart of Accounts and GL

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Account (Accounting Module)

1:1
Mapping required

GL accounts with grouping structures, cost centres, and cost elements transfer to Dolibarr's double-entry accounting module. TDS configurations do not map directly to Dolibarr's standard accounting since Dolibarr's default tax engine targets VAT. We map TDS as a custom withholding tax code in Dolibarr and flag any HSN/SAC mappings that cannot be expressed natively. Cost centres map to Dolibarr's analytical accounting dimensions.

LOGIC ERP

Bill of Materials (BOM)

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Product Manufacturing Recipe

1:1
Mapping required

LOGIC ERP BOMs with style-wise operation stages (Cutting, Stitching, Washing, Finishing) and material inputs must preserve stage sequence. We map each BOM level to a Dolibarr Manufacturing recipe using the MRP module. Subcontractor job-work stages flagged in LOGIC ERP map to external supplier references in the Dolibarr recipe with a note to set up subcontracting BOMs manually. If the Dolibarr MRP module is not activated, BOMs are documented as written specifications for manual rebuild.

LOGIC ERP

Point of Sale Transactions

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

POS Receipt / Sale Invoice

1:1
Fully supported

LOGIC ERP POS receipts including UPI, cash, and card payment modes, agent-level sales data, and customer feedback records migrate as Dolibarr POS receipts and linked sale invoices. Agent/salesman assignments map to Dolibarr user references. POS data is extracted from LOGIC ERP export files and loaded into Dolibarr as validated invoices. Cumulative POS totals reconcile against GL cash and bank account entries in Dolibarr.

LOGIC ERP

Stock / Opening Inventory

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Stock (Warehouse Stock)

1:1
Mapping required

Opening stock records with exact units and warehouse locations map directly to Dolibarr's stock/warehouse module. We flag any opening stock rows that lack exact quantities or have ambiguous unit-of-measure mappings before import, per the balance sheet reconciliation requirement. Multi-location inventory from LOGIC ERP maps to multiple Dolibarr warehouses. Batch-level stock tracking (Ultimate tier) maps to Dolibarr's lot/serial number module if activated.

LOGIC ERP

Manufacturing / Production Orders

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Manufacturing Order

1:1
Mapping required

Production orders with work-in-progress stages map to Dolibarr Manufacturing Orders using the BOM recipe resolved in mapping step 6. Job-work stages and subcontractor billing cycles vary by garment configuration; we preserve each stage's material consumption and output quantity as Dolibarr Manufacturing Order line items. Status (planned, in progress, completed) migrates to Dolibarr's mrp_production status field.

LOGIC ERP

Multi-Currency Ledgers

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Multi-Currency (Accounting Module)

1:1
Mapping required

Multiple currency management from LOGIC ERP Professional tier and above migrates to Dolibarr's multi-currency accounting configuration. Per-transaction exchange rates are preserved as Dolibarr currency rate entries. We recommend reconciliation in Dolibarr for historical accuracy since exchange rate sourcing may differ between platforms.

LOGIC ERP

Tax Configurations (TDS/GST)

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Custom Tax Codes (Withholding)

lossy
Mapping required

TDS rate structures and TDS reports are India-specific and do not map universally to Dolibarr's VAT-based tax engine. We map TDS as a custom withholding tax code in Dolibarr, flag any HSN/SAC mappings that cannot be expressed, and recommend India-specialist review for any financial audit requirements. GSTIN validation migrates as a custom field on Third Party.

LOGIC ERP

Custom Fields / User-Defined Properties

maps to

Dolibarr ERP

Extra Fields (Custom Fields Module)

lossy
Mapping required

LOGIC ERP configurable defaults, discount locks, and item-wise rules map to Dolibarr's extra fields module (champs adicionales). Each LOGIC ERP rule is captured as a named Dolibarr extra field with its data type (text, select, checkbox, date). Rules that cannot be expressed natively in Dolibarr (such as conditional discount locks that span multiple record types) are documented as configuration notes for the customer's admin.

Pair-specific challenges

  • LOGIC ERP has no API; export batches must be sequenced manually

    LOGIC ERP provides no public REST API. All data extraction uses the built-in export-to-Excel/PDF/HTML feature. For large datasets over 50,000 rows, we segment exports by date range, location, or record type to avoid timeout. We validate each batch's row count and checksum totals before loading into Dolibarr. If the export UI stalls during month-end or high-volume periods, we escalate to the LOGIC ERP implementation consultant for server-side export assistance.

  • TDS and GSTIN configurations do not map to Dolibarr natively

    LOGIC ERP's TDS rate structures, TDS reports, and HSN/SAC code associations are India-compliance features with no direct Dolibarr equivalent. Dolibarr's tax engine targets VAT and EU/UK/international VAT models. We map TDS as a custom withholding tax code and GSTIN as a custom Third Party field, but any financial audit requiring India-specific tax reporting should be reviewed by a India tax specialist post-migration. HSN/SAC mappings that cannot be expressed in Dolibarr are flagged in the mapping document.

  • Item variant matrices decompose into flat product-subproduct relationships

    LOGIC ERP's style/color/size item matrices do not map to a single Dolibarr object. We decompose each matrix into a parent Product and child sub-Products, which is functionally equivalent but requires pre-creation of the variant hierarchy before stock and order data can reference it. If the destination Dolibarr instance does not have the product variants module activated, variants are stored as separate products with a naming convention prefix.

  • Opening stock balances require exact reconciliation before import

    Opening stock records with unit count discrepancies, rounding, or ambiguous unit-of-measure mappings land as balance sheet errors in Dolibarr's accounting module. We flag any opening stock rows that lack exact quantities or have non-standard unit-of-measure codes before the import run, and we recommend pre-import reconciliation of total inventory value against the LOGIC ERP general ledger. Any discrepancy above a defined threshold (typically 0.5% of total stock value) is escalated before proceeding.

  • BOM stage sequences require manual recipe configuration in Dolibarr

    LOGIC ERP BOMs with multi-stage manufacturing sequences (Cutting, Stitching, Washing, Finishing) requireDolibarr MRP module activation and manual recipe setup. We map each BOM level and flag subcontractor job-work stages, but the recipe-building interface in Dolibarr requires an administrator to configure work orders and subcontracting links. If the MRP module is not in scope, BOMs are delivered as written specifications for manual rebuild after go-live.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful LOGIC ERP to Dolibarr ERP data migration

  1. Discovery and export sequencing plan

    We audit the LOGIC ERP instance for all modules in use (inventory, sales, purchasing, manufacturing, GL, POS), record volumes per object type, active TDS configurations, BOM complexity, and any Gift Voucher or Commission Slab modules. We map the extraction sequence to LOGIC ERP's built-in export tools, requesting segmented exports by date range, location, or record type for datasets over 50,000 rows to avoid timeout. The discovery output is a written migration scope and an export sequencing plan that accounts for LOGIC ERP's consultant-dependent access model.

  2. Dolibarr environment provisioning and module activation

    We provision the target Dolibarr instance, activate the required modules (Third Party, Product, Stock, Invoice, Purchase, BOM/MRP, Accounting, POS) based on the LOGIC ERP modules in use, and configure warehouse locations, payment modes, currency settings, and the multi-currency configuration. Custom fields (extra fields) for GSTIN, HSN/SAC codes, TDS withholding codes, and item variant hierarchy prefixes are created in Dolibarr before any data import begins. The MRP module is activated only if BOM migration is in scope.

  3. Data export, cleansing, and transformation

    We extract data from LOGIC ERP in structured export batches using the built-in Excel export tool. Each batch is validated for row count, checksum totals, and field completeness. We cleanse the data (deduplication of party records, normalization of address formats, unit-of-measure standardization, TDS amount verification) and transform it into Dolibarr-compatible import formats (CSV for Third Parties and Products, API payloads for stock entries). LOGIC ERP item variant matrices are decomposed into parent-product and sub-product hierarchies during transformation.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a staging Dolibarr instance using production-like data volume. The customer's operations lead reconciles record counts (Third Parties in, Products in, Stock in, Orders in, GL entries in), spot-checks 25-50 records per object type against the LOGIC ERP source, and validates BOM stage sequences for a sample of production orders. Any mapping corrections are made and validated in staging before production migration begins.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in dependency order: Third Parties (Customers/Suppliers) first, then Products with variant hierarchy, then Warehouses and Stock entries (with opening balance reconciliation), then Sales Orders and Invoices, then Purchase Orders, then GL entries, then Manufacturing Orders and BOM recipes, then POS transaction history. TDS withholding amounts and GSTIN fields are loaded as extra field values on the corresponding records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and handoff

    We freeze LOGIC ERP writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Dolibarr as the system of record. We deliver the automation and configuration inventory (workflows, Commission Slabs, Gift Voucher rules, TDS rate structures, access control profiles) as a written document for the customer's admin to rebuild in Dolibarr. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild workflows or sequences as part of the migration scope.
