Overview
Moving from Odoo Enterprise to Infor CloudSuite is a cross-database, cross-ERP-family migration that requires resolving several structural mismatches between the platforms. Odoo stores all data in PostgreSQL and exposes it via XML-RPC; Infor CloudSuite Industrial uses SQL Server as its migration source and requires data to flow through its Migration Utility forms with explicit source-to-target table mapping. Odoo's unified res.partner model (used for both customers and suppliers) must split into Infor's separate Business Partner roles with distinct addresses and contact relationships. Fiscal localization data including Chart of Accounts, tax codes, and fiscal positions must be remapped to Infor's country-specific configuration rather than carried over as-is. We extract from Odoo's PostgreSQL database directly or via XML-RPC, transform data types and field names to match Infor's SQL Server schema, and load through Infor's Migration Utility with full reconciliation reporting. We do not migrate Odoo Workflows, Odoo Studio customizations, or automated actions; these require rebuilding as Infor Business Context Manager rules or ION Grid configurations post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Odoo Enterprise object lands in Infor CloudSuite Corporate, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Odoo Enterprise
res.partner (Contact / Partner)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner
1:manyOdoo's res.partner is a single model handling customers, suppliers, and individuals with no native role distinction. Infor CloudSuite separates Business Partner roles: Customer, Supplier, Prospect, and Competitor, each with separate address and contact assignments. We split each Odoo partner into one or more Infor Business Partner roles based on Odoo partner categories (customer_boolean, supplier_boolean, industry_id) and address assignments. Individual contacts separate into Infor Contact records linked to the Business Partner. Email, phone, and address fields map directly; the Odoo category_ids become Infor Business Partner Category codes that we configure during migration.
Odoo Enterprise
product.product + product.template
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item (Item Master)
1:1Odoo product variants (product.product) and product templates (product.template) map to Infor CloudSuite Item records. We map Odoo product.default_code to Infor Item Number, product.name to Description, and product.list_price to Base Price. Product variants (size, color, dimension) resolve into Infor Item Variants or as separate Item records depending on the Infor edition's variant handling configuration. Vendor pricelists (product.supplierinfo) migrate as Infor Supplier Item records linked to the corresponding Business Partner Supplier role.
Odoo Enterprise
sale.order + sale.order.line
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Odoo Sales Orders map to Infor CloudSuite Sales Orders with Order Number, Order Date, Customer (Business Partner), and line items. We resolve Odoo sale.order.partner_id to the corresponding Infor Business Partner Customer role, and sale.order.order_line.product_id to Infor Item references. Order states (draft, sale, done, cancel) map to Infor Order Status codes that we configure during the migration setup. Odoo delivery addresses stored in sale.order.partner_shipping_id become Infor Ship-To addresses on the order.
Odoo Enterprise
purchase.order + purchase.order.line
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Odoo Purchase Orders map to Infor CloudSuite Purchase Orders with Order Number, Order Date, Supplier (Business Partner), and line items. We resolve Odoo purchase.order.partner_id to the Infor Business Partner Supplier role. Delivery dates, product quantities, and unit prices transfer directly. Receipt matching (stock.picking linked to purchase.order) preserves as Infor Receipt records. Odoo product-supplier info drives the Infor Supplier Item cross-reference on the purchase order.
Odoo Enterprise
account.move (Customer Invoice)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Invoice / Accounts Receivable
1:1Odoo posted customer invoices (account.move with move_type = out_invoice) map to Infor CloudSuite Invoice records. We map invoice.partner_id to the Infor Business Partner Customer role, invoice.invoice_date to Invoice Date, and invoice.amount_total to Total Amount. Fiscal positions and tax codes from Odoo's account.fiscal.position table require full remapping to Infor's tax codes and GL Account assignments, as the country-specific localization modules do not carry over. Reconciliation records (account.reconcile.model) do not migrate; they require reinstating in Infor's payment matching configuration.
Odoo Enterprise
account.move (Vendor Bill)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Vendor Invoice / Accounts Payable
1:1Odoo vendor bills (account.move with move_type = in_invoice) map to Infor CloudSuite Vendor Invoice records. We resolve vendor bill partner_id to the Infor Business Partner Supplier role. Tax amounts and GL Account assignments remap to Infor's Chart of Accounts. Odoo vendor bill payment state (paid, partial, unpaid) carries as Invoice Status. Posted vendor bills migrate; draft bills are included only if requested and flagged by the customer during scoping.
Odoo Enterprise
account.account (Chart of Accounts)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Account
lossyOdoo's Chart of Accounts is country-specific via localization modules (l10n_fr, l10n_de, etc.) and does not carry over directly to Infor CloudSuite, which has its own country-specific account structures. We do not migrate the Odoo Chart of Accounts as records. Instead, we deliver a written mapping document pairing each Odoo account code and type to the corresponding Infor GL Account code, name, and account type. The customer and their Infor implementation partner configure the Infor Chart of Accounts before the accounting migration phase begins. Open invoice amounts and historical balances migrate as journal entry lines posting to the configured Infor GL accounts.
Odoo Enterprise
mrp.bom + mrp.bom.line
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Bill of Material
1:1Odoo Bill of Materials (mrp_bom, mrp_bom_line) map to Infor CloudSuite Bill of Material records with routing operations. We map bom.product_id to the Infor Item, bom_line.product_id to component Items with quantities and units of measure. Odoo bom.routing_ids (work order operations) map to Infor Work Center operations with setup time, run time, and queue time. Multi-level BoMs (subassemblies) resolve recursively so that component lookups are satisfied before parent-level import. We flag any Odoo BoM with by-products or co-products for Infor Work Order configuration review.
Odoo Enterprise
mrp.workorder
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Work Order
1:1Odoo Work Orders map to Infor CloudSuite Work Orders linked to the corresponding Item and Bill of Material. We map workcenter_id to Infor Work Center, duration (hours) to planned labor time, and state (pending, ready, in progress, done) to Work Order status. Odoo workorder tracked lot/serial numbers carry as Infor Job Traveler lot assignments. We do not migrate Odoo workorder time tracking (mrp.workcenter.productivity) as time entries; the customer configures Infor Shop Floor data collection post-migration.
Odoo Enterprise
stock.quant + stock.move + stock.picking
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inventory (On-hand, Transfers, Receipts)
1:1Odoo stock.quant (on-hand quantities by lot/serial and warehouse) map to Infor CloudSuite inventory on-hand records per Item and warehouse. stock.picking records (receipts, deliveries, internal transfers) map to Infor Receipt, Issue, and Transfer records. We resolve warehouse_id to Infor Warehouse, product_id to Item, and lot_id to Infor Lot Number. Quant snapshots migrate as current on-hand values; historical stock.move records are migrated as Infor inventory transactions for audit trail completeness up to a configurable cutoff date. Odoo product routes (make-to-order, dropship) require Infor planning configuration review as these do not migrate as data.
Odoo Enterprise
project.project + project.task
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project
1:1Odoo Project and Task records map to Infor CloudSuite Project and Task/Subtask. We map project.name to Project Description, project.user_id to Project Manager, and project.task count to Task hierarchy. Task stages migrate as Infor Task Status values. Odoo project timesheets (account.analytic.line) migrate as Infor Project Transaction labor entries if the customer's Infor license includes Project Accounting. We do not migrate Odoo project automation rules or stage-triggered actions.
Odoo Enterprise
hr.employee
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Employee / Worker
1:1Odoo hr.employee records map to Infor CloudSuite Employee or Worker records. We map employee name, department, job title, and employment status. Active employee contracts (hr.contract) migrate as Worker records with effective dates and employment type. Historical payslip data migrates as read-only records; Infor HCM payroll configuration is out of scope. Employee bank accounts and emergency contacts map to Infor Worker Contact Information fields.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Infor edition scoping
We audit the source Odoo Enterprise instance across version (v15, v16, v17, or v18), installed modules, PostgreSQL access method (direct database, Odoo.sh, or XML-RPC), partner and product volumes, open order counts, BoM complexity (single-level vs multi-level, co-products, by-products), inventory warehouse count, and active Odoo Workflows and Studio configurations. We pair this with the destination Infor CloudSuite edition (Industrial, Distribution, or LN) and the target country fiscal configuration. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts per object, a PostgreSQL-to-SQL Server staging plan, and a fiscal localization remediation recommendation.
PostgreSQL extraction and SQL Server staging
We extract data from Odoo's PostgreSQL database using direct SQL reads (preferred for self-hosted) or XML-RPC with chunked batching (500 records per batch, exponential backoff). For Odoo.sh instances, we coordinate PostgreSQL read access or use XML-RPC extraction. We load extracted data into an intermediate SQL Server staging database that Infor's Migration Utility can read, transforming Odoo field types and names to match the Infor target schema during the staging load. This step is unique to Odoo-to-Infor migrations and adds two to four weeks to the timeline compared to same-database-platform migrations.
Infor schema design and fiscal configuration planning
We work with the customer's Infor implementation partner to design the Infor CloudSuite target schema: Business Partner roles (Customer, Supplier), Item structure, Chart of Accounts codes, tax configuration, warehouse definitions, Work Center assignments, and BoM routing setup. The customer configures the Infor Chart of Accounts and tax codes using Infor's localization documentation before we begin loading accounting data. We deliver the account mapping document pairing each Odoo account code to its Infor GL Account equivalent, and we validate that all Infor required fields and validation rules are populated before each load phase.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Infor CloudSuite Sandbox or staging environment using production-like data volumes. The customer's Infor admin and finance lead reconcile record counts (Business Partners in, Items in, Orders in, Invoices in, BoMs in, Inventory on-hand in) against the Odoo source counts, and spot-check 25-50 records per object for field-level accuracy. The res.partner-to-Business-Partner split logic is validated here, with any deduplication corrections applied to the staging SQL Server database before re-running. The customer signs off the sandbox results before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Business Partner roles (customers and suppliers first, from Odoo res.partner), Items (from product.product), Warehouses (from stock.warehouse), Bill of Materials (from mrp_bom with recursive component resolution), Work Centers (from mrp_workcenter), open Sales Orders (from sale_order), open Purchase Orders (from purchase_order), posted Invoices and Vendor Bills (from account_move with remapped GL accounts), and inventory on-hand snapshots (from stock_quant). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We do not migrate Odoo Workflows, automated actions, or Studio configurations; these are documented separately for rebuild in Infor.
Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Odoo writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration, then mark Infor CloudSuite as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and Studio automation inventory document to the customer's Infor implementation partner for rebuild as Business Context Manager rules, ION Grid triggers, or Infor Process Automation. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not provide post-migration admin support, training, or Infor workflow rebuild as standard scope; these are separate engagements.
