Migrate your Odoo Enterprise data
Modular all-in-one ERP with a generous free Community tier and an opinionated per-user pricing model. Odoo is either the most flexible ERP you will ever use or the most expensive, depending on how much customization you need.
In its favor
Why people choose Odoo Enterprise
The signal that keeps Odoo Enterprise on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Modular design with 40+ built-in apps (CRM, Sales, Accounting, Inventory, Manufacturing) that share a single database and unified client record, eliminating manual re-entry between departments.
Free Community Edition with unlimited users provides the lowest barrier to entry of any serious ERP, allowing teams to validate fit before committing to Enterprise pricing.
Deep workflow integration from lead through quotation to invoice to payment reconciliation, reducing handoffs and reconciliation effort across the sales-to-cash cycle.
Active developer ecosystem with thousands of third-party apps on the Odoo Apps store extending functionality for industry-specific needs.
Mobile apps and cloud hosting included in Enterprise, providing out-of-the-box mobile access without additional infrastructure management.
Per-user, per-month pricing compounds at scale: a 50-user team on the Standard plan pays roughly $1,500/month before implementation, customization, or partner support costs.
Customization requires qualified Odoo developers (Python, ORM) and becomes the largest ongoing expense after initial implementation, with hidden maintenance costs when upgrading custom code.
Country-specific fiscal localizations lack clear documentation; tax mapping and fiscal positions require deep Odoo expertise to configure correctly and consistently.
Support responsiveness is inconsistent; business-critical issues have been reported as taking days to escalate, creating continuity risk for ERP-dependent operations.
Per-app billing means enabling additional modules to unlock functionality that should be core creates sticker shock; full ERP capability requires many paid apps.

Pricing tiers
Odoo Enterprise pricing overview
Odoo Enterprise is strictly per-user, per-month on the Standard or Custom plan. Annual billing provides a 20–25% discount vs. monthly. The One App Free plan is a lead-generation tier that costs nothing but includes no support and no upgrades. Full ERP deployments with implementation partners typically run $5,000–$100,000+ in one-time costs plus ongoing per-user licensing, making the true cost of ownership significantly higher than the per-user sticker price.

What gets migrated
Odoo Enterprise object support
Object-by-object support for Odoo Enterprise migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts / Partners
Fully supportedOdoo uses 'res.partner' for both individuals and organizations. The External API exposes all standard fields including address, category, bank accounts, and custom fields. We map Contacts to the destination's equivalent (Accounts or Contacts) preserving tags and categories.
Products
Fully supportedProduct variants, templates, vendor pricelists, and routes (make-to-order, dropship) are stored in product.product and product.template. We migrate the full BoM and routing data where applicable, handling multi-attribute variant chains correctly.
Sales Orders
Fully supportedSale orders include linked records: Order Lines, Delivery Orders (stock.picking), and Invoices. We migrate these as a bundle preserving the parent-child relationships and picking/invoice state, or migrate orders only if the destination does not handle fulfillment.
Purchase Orders
Fully supportedPurchase orders link to suppliers, products, receipts (stock.picking), and vendor bills. We preserve the receipt-to-bill matching which is critical for accounts payable accuracy in the destination ERP.
Invoices / Bills
Mapping requiredOdoo Accounting stores fiscal positions, tax grid mappings, and reconciliation records. Open invoices, paid invoices, and journal entries all carry different migration value. We handle posted vs. draft state distinction and skip reconciliation records where the destination has a different matching engine.
Chart of Accounts
Mapping requiredAccounts are country-specific via fiscal localization modules. Account codes, types, and tax receipt tags must be mapped to the destination's country-specific Chart of Accounts. We preserve account codes but flag any tax codes that lack a direct destination equivalent.
Projects and Tasks
Fully supportedProject.project and project.task contain sub-tasks, assignees, tags, timesheets, and stage pipelines. We migrate all task hierarchies and stage configurations, though custom stage logic (automated actions on stage change) must be rebuilt at the destination.
Employees
Fully supportedhr.employee records include contracts, attendance, leave allocations, and payslip history. We preserve employment status and effective-dated contracts. Historical payslip data migrates as read-only records in most destinations since payroll engine recomputation is destination-dependent.
Custom Models (x_custom_model)
Mapping requiredCustom models created via Odoo Studio or ir.model.fields are fully accessible via xmlrpc://model/fields_get and standard CRUD endpoints. We migrate custom model records with all field types including many2one, many2many, and selection fields, mapping relationship targets to the destination.
Attachments / Documents
Mapping requiredOdoo stores attachments in both the PostgreSQL database (ir_attachment with db_datas) and the filestore directory. We extract both, reconstruct the filestore tree, and relink attachments to their original records in the destination. Binary attachments in the database are migrated as base64 blobs.
Fiscal Positions
Mapping requiredFiscal positions map taxes and accounts based on partner country/VAT. These are critical for EU VAT compliance and must be migrated alongside invoices. We validate that the destination's tax codes can absorb the mapping rules; if not, we flag the mismatch for manual review.
Manufacturing / BoM
Fully supportedBill of Materials and work orders are fully migrated via the mrp module models. Routing operations, workcenters, and consumption tracking are preserved. We flag any还未 supported by the destination ERP's manufacturing module.
Point of Sale
Mapping requiredPOS sessions, orders, and payments are stored in pos.order and pos.payment. Enterprise POS has additional features (loyalty, electronic scale integration) not present in Community or many destination ERPs. We migrate orders and payments but note that POS-specific loyalty points and closed-session reconciled data may require post-migration adjustment.
Inventory / Stock
Fully supportedstock.quant (on-hand quantities), stock.move (history), and stock.picking (transfers) are migrated. We preserve lot/serial number traceability and warehouse-specific quants. Quant snapshots are migrated as opening balances rather than a full move history to keep migration volume manageable.
