Overview
Moving from Masterplan ERP to Odoo ERP is a full transactional migration with a critical early dependency: Masterplan has no publicly documented REST API or bulk export endpoint, so every extraction step requires vendor coordination or direct database access provisioned by Masterplan support. We begin every project by engaging Masterplan support to request read-only database exports or scoped CSV pulls before field mapping begins. On the Odoo side, we configure the manufacturing module (MRP), inventory (stock), and accounting (account) apps during migration scoping, importing the Chart of Accounts first, then Customers and Vendors, then Items with their costing methods, then inventory quantities per warehouse, then open AP/AR with aging normalization, and finally BOMs and Work Orders with full status history. Workflows, automations, and user-defined reports do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Odoo Studio or via custom modules post-migration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Masterplan 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.
Masterplan
Customers
Odoo ERP
Contact (res.partner with customer flag)
1:1Masterplan Customers map to Odoo res.partner records with the customer_rank set to 1 (or the is_company flag active for B2B accounts). We extract customer name, billing address, shipping address, payment terms, credit limit, and currency settings from the Masterplan UI export. Because Masterplan lacks a self-service API, we coordinate with Masterplan support to pull a full customer CSV including any custom fields confirmed during discovery. The Odoo partner must have the Contacts app (base) enabled before import.
Masterplan
Vendors
Odoo ERP
Contact (res.partner with supplier flag)
1:1Masterplan Vendors map to Odoo res.partner with supplier_rank set to 1. We preserve vendor address, payment terms, W-9 data, and 1099 eligibility flags as custom fields or tags on the partner record. Vendor CSV extraction follows the same vendor-assisted process as customer data. Odoo's Purchase app must be installed for supplier workflow functionality.
Masterplan
Items / Products
Odoo ERP
Product (product.template / product.product)
1:1Masterplan Items (Finished Goods, Raw Materials, Components, Services) map to Odoo product.template with the appropriate product_type. We preserve the costing method (standard, average, FIFO) from Masterplan as the Odoo costing_method field, and the item type as product_category mapped to Odoo's product category hierarchy. Masterplan's product code becomes the Odoo default_code (SKU) for dedupe. If Masterplan uses multiple units of measure (each, case, pallet), we map them to Odoo's unit of measure and uom_category tables before product import.
Masterplan
Chart of Accounts
Odoo ERP
Account (account.account)
1:1Masterplan's GL account hierarchy maps to Odoo account.account records with the corresponding account_type (asset, liability, equity, revenue, expense). We extract account number, name, type, and any department or cost-center rollup structure. Odoo requires a Chart of Accounts template (localization package) to be installed before manual accounts are created. We apply the appropriate fiscal country localization for the customer's jurisdiction so that tax accounts and fiscal position defaults are pre-populated.
Masterplan
Open AP / AR
Odoo ERP
Vendor Bill (account.move) and Customer Invoice (account.move)
1:1Outstanding payables and receivables from Masterplan map to Odoo account.move records with move_type of in_invoice (AP) or out_invoice (AR). We normalize Masterplan aging buckets (which vary by customer configuration) to standard 30/60/90/120-day buckets on the Odoo partner record's credit_limit field. Invoice amounts, due dates, and aging status migrate as open invoices rather than paid records; the customer reconciles actual payments post-migration in Odoo.
Masterplan
Sales Orders
Odoo ERP
Sale Order (sale.order)
1:1Open Sales Orders from Masterplan map to Odoo sale.order records. We extract order number, customer reference, line items (product, quantity, unit price), and fulfillment status. Partially shipped or partially invoiced orders are flagged explicitly so the destination handles them correctly post-cutover. The Odoo Sale app must be installed. If Masterplan uses multi-company orders, we configure Odoo's multi-company rules before import.
Masterplan
Purchase Orders
Odoo ERP
Purchase Order (purchase.order)
1:1Open Purchase Orders from Masterplan map to Odoo purchase.order records with vendor, line items, quantities, and unit prices preserved. Partially received orders are flagged in the data map for the customer to reconcile in Odoo post-go-live. The Odoo Purchase app must be installed before import.
Masterplan
Inventory / Stock
Odoo ERP
Quant (stock.quant) and Location (stock.location)
1:1On-hand quantities per warehouse location in Masterplan map to Odoo stock.quant records tied to stock.location records. Because Odoo's warehouse structure (Warehouse > Location > Shelf) often differs from Masterplan's location hierarchy, we ask the customer during scoping to define the target Odoo warehouse layout before inventory import. We extract stock levels per Masterplan location and remap to the Odoo location structure. Negative stock and non-scheduled inventory adjustments are flagged as exceptions requiring customer review before import.
Masterplan
Bills of Materials (BOMs)
Odoo ERP
Bill of Materials (mrp.bom)
1:1Multi-level BOMs from Masterplan map to Odoo mrp.bom records with the appropriate type (kit, manufacturing, subassembly). We preserve component quantities, scrap factors, and phantom assembly flags. For multi-level BOMs, we either flatten them into a single-level BOM in Odoo or create a nested BOM structure depending on the customer's Odoo manufacturing configuration. Phantom assemblies in Masterplan map to Odoo's phantom bom_type. The Odoo MRP (Manufacturing) app must be installed.
Masterplan
Work Orders / Manufacturing Orders
Odoo ERP
Manufacturing Order (mrp.production)
1:1Active and historical work orders from Masterplan map to Odoo mrp.production records with status preserved (draft, confirmed, in progress, done, cancelled). We extract routing steps, labor hours, material allocations, and backflush transactions. Work order history older than the agreed lookback cutoff (configured with the customer during discovery, based on Masterplan's archive/purge settings) is excluded and noted as out-of-scope. The Odoo MRP app must be installed.
Masterplan
Journal Entries
Odoo ERP
Journal Entry (account.move)
1:1Historical journal entries from Masterplan map to Odoo account.move records with move_type of entry. We migrate entry date, account lines, debit/credit amounts, and memo. Entries older than the migration lookback cutoff or outside the active fiscal year are excluded. Because Odoo fiscal year lock can prevent post-period entries, we coordinate with the customer's accountant to ensure open fiscal years are configured in Odoo before journal entry import begins.

Migration approach
Vendor coordination and data extraction request
We begin by engaging Masterplan support to request read-only database access or scoped CSV exports of all core modules. The customer confirms their active support contract and submits the data request ticket. We define the extraction scope in coordination with the customer: Customers, Vendors, Items, Chart of Accounts, Open AP/AR, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Inventory, BOMs, Work Orders, and any confirmed custom fields. We request a preliminary data pull within five business days and escalate via the customer if vendor response is delayed. This step gates the entire project timeline.
Odoo environment provisioning and localization setup
We provision the target Odoo environment (Community Edition self-hosted or Enterprise Odoo.sh) and install the required apps: Contacts (base), Sale, Purchase, Inventory, and MRP. We apply the appropriate country localization package (account, stock, and product templates matched to the customer's fiscal jurisdiction) so that tax accounts, fiscal positions, and chart of accounts defaults are pre-populated before data import begins. We configure multi-company rules, if applicable, and set the fiscal year lock dates in coordination with the customer's accountant.
Schema design and field mapping
We design the destination Odoo schema based on the extracted Masterplan data. This includes creating any custom fields on res.partner (customer and supplier), product.template, account.account, and mrp.bom that map to Masterplan fields not represented in Odoo's standard model. We define the warehouse and location hierarchy in Odoo's stock module, map the Masterplan inventory locations to Odoo stock.location records, and configure the BOM type strategy (nested vs. phantom) for multi-level BOMs. The field mapping document is reviewed by the customer's admin before any data is imported.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Odoo sandbox environment (or a staging database on Odoo.sh) using the extracted Masterplan data. The customer reconciles record counts (customers in, vendors in, products in, accounts in, inventory quants in, BOMs in, work orders in) and spot-checks twenty to fifty representative records against the Masterplan source. Any field mapping corrections, custom field additions, or warehouse structure adjustments happen in the sandbox before production migration begins. We do not proceed to production without a signed sandbox reconciliation sign-off.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in the following order: Chart of Accounts first (required for journal entries and invoice validation), then res.partner records (Customers and Vendors), then product.template with costing methods and categories, then stock.location and stock.quant (inventory), then open AP/AR invoices (account.move), then open Sales Orders and Purchase Orders (sale.order, purchase.order), then BOMs (mrp.bom), and finally Work Orders (mrp.production). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report and a spot-check checklist before the next phase begins. We use Odoo's CSV import wizard or XML-RPC batch API depending on record volume, with exponential backoff on any API throttling responses.
Cutover, final delta, and workflow handoff
We freeze Masterplan writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window (typically a single weekend or off-peak period), then enable Odoo as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of any Masterplan workflows, user-defined automations, or custom reports identified during discovery that require rebuild in Odoo Studio or as custom Python modules. We do not rebuild these inside the migration scope. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve import-related reconciliation issues; post-go-live workflow rebuilds and admin training are separate engagements.
