Overview
Moving from Odoo ERP to Infor CloudSuite is a step-up migration from a modular SMB platform to an industry-specific enterprise manufacturing suite. Odoo stores everything in PostgreSQL behind an ORM layer exposed via XML-RPC or JSON-RPC, using External IDs as the standard import reference. Infor CloudSuite uses its own Migration Utility with preconfigured stored procedures, import rule definitions, and preliminary-to-final data transfer sequencing. We extract Odoo records through its RPC API in dependency order (Partners first, then Products, then Orders, then Invoices, then Manufacturing), transform the schema using the pair-specific mapping matrix, and load through Infor's migration database in the correct sequence so that foreign-key constraints are satisfied at every step. Odoo Studio customizations, Workflow Automations, and Odoo.sh CI/CD pipelines do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's Infor consultant to rebuild in the destination system.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Odoo ERP 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 ERP
res.partner
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Contact / Supplier
1:manyOdoo Partners (type contact or company) split into Infor CloudSuite Contact records for customer-facing records and Supplier records for vendor records. The Odoo partner category (res.partner.category) maps to Infor Contact classification fields. We preserve address, phone, email, and bank details and resolve the Country/State references to Infor's coded address format. Multi-company Odoo configurations require entity-level segmentation in Infor before Partner import begins.
Odoo ERP
product.product
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item (Item Master)
1:1Odoo Product records map to Infor Item Master. The Odoo product type (product.template type: stockable, consumable, service) maps to Infor's item type codes. Product variants via attribute combinations (product.template.attribute.line) flatten into separate Infor Items or variant codes depending on the Infor edition configuration. The Odoo Standard Price and List Price map to Infor's cost and selling price fields, with currency preserved per Odoo's pricelist configuration.
Odoo ERP
product.supplierinfo
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier Item / Purchasing
1:1Odoo's vendor pricing relation (product.supplierinfo) maps to Infor Supplier Item records, preserving vendor lead times, minimum order quantities, and supplier product codes. The many2one to res.partner (supplier) resolves through the Contact/Supplier mapping established in the Partner phase before this phase runs.
Odoo ERP
sale.order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Odoo Sales Orders map to Infor Sales Orders. The Odoo order state lifecycle (draft → sale_order → done → canceled) maps to Infor order status codes. Order lines with product, quantity, and unit price migrate directly; discounts stored as Odoo discount fields map to Infor line discount columns. Odoo's fiscal position tax computation logic must be replicated in Infor's tax configuration before order lines are imported because tax computation rules are destination-side.
Odoo ERP
account.move (out_invoice, out_refund)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Accounts Receivable Invoice / Credit Memo
1:1Odoo 17+ unified invoices into account.move with move_type distinguishing invoices from refunds. Posted invoices migrate as Infor A/R Invoices; posted refunds migrate as Infor Credit Memos. We preserve the invoice number, date, due date, and line amounts. Tax lines from Odoo map to Infor tax distribution lines, but country-specific fiscal positions and tax groups require explicit Infor configuration before invoice import because these are schema-level in Infor, not data-level.
Odoo ERP
stock.quant
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Warehouse / Inventory Locations
1:1Odoo Stock Quants tracking on-hand quantities per location map to Infor warehouse and sub-location inventory records. We map warehouse codes by matching Odoo's stock.warehouse name to Infor's warehouse site codes. Lot and serial number traceability migrates where present in Odoo, but traceability verification is a post-import step because lot status and expiration date formats differ between systems.
Odoo ERP
stock.move
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inventory Transactions
1:1Odoo Stock Moves representing inventory transfers and adjustments map to Infor inventory transaction records. Move states (draft, assigned, done, canceled) map to Infor transaction status codes. The many2one references to stock.location and stock.warehouse resolve through the location mapping established in the inventory phase. Quantities and unit of measure carry forward;UoM conversion factors require explicit mapping where Odoo uses non-standard units.
Odoo ERP
mrp.production
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Production Order
1:1Odoo Manufacturing Orders (mrp.production) map to Infor Production Orders. The Odoo BoM reference (bom_id) resolves through the BoM mapping phase before production orders are imported. MO state (draft, confirmed, in_production, done) maps to Infor production order status. Workorder sequences from Odoo map to Infor routing operations, but routing dependencies may require re-sequencing in Infor's operation planning view because Infor uses a different routing structure model.
Odoo ERP
mrp.bom
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Bill of Materials / Product Structure
1:1Odoo Bills of Materials (mrp.bom) map to Infor Product Structures. BoM type (kit, manufactured, phantom) carries forward. Component lines with product, quantity, and unit of measure migrate as Infor BOM lines. Phantom BoMs used for kits in Odoo map to Infor Kitting structures. Variant-specific BoMs require mapping to Infor Item variants using the product variant resolution established in the product phase.
Odoo ERP
project.project
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project
1:1Odoo Project records map to Infor Project. Project stages from Odoo's kanban pipeline map to Infor project status codes. Multi-company Odoo projects require explicit Infor entity assignment before import. Odoo project hierarchy (parent project) maps to Infor project structure.
Odoo ERP
project.task
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Task / Work Item
1:1Odoo Tasks link to Projects via project_id and include sub-task hierarchy via parent_id. We preserve the task hierarchy, stage, assignee (user_id), deadline (date_deadline), and custom fields. Task assignees resolve through the Odoo User mapping to Infor Worker or User records. Custom stage names from Odoo Studio map to Infor task status codes.
Odoo ERP
hr.employee
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Worker / Employee
1:1Odoo Employee records (hr.employee) map to Infor Worker records. Employee name, department, job title, and work contact info migrate. Odoo-specific fields like emergency contacts and HR categories do not have direct Infor equivalents and are preserved in a text block or custom field for manual entry in Infor's HCM module. Employee user linking (employee_id → res.users) resolves through the User mapping phase.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and source Odoo version audit
We audit the source Odoo deployment across Odoo version (Community vs Enterprise, major version number), active modules, multi-company configuration, Odoo Studio custom fields and custom actions, module dependency graph, and record volume per object. We also identify any custom Python modules that modify standard Odoo ORM behavior. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with object-level volume counts, a module dependency tree for import sequencing, and a custom-field inventory requiring Infor re-creation.
Schema design and Infor configuration checklist
We design the Infor CloudSuite target schema based on the Infor edition in scope (Industrial, Distribution, Fashion, etc.). This includes item master configuration, warehouse and location setup, customer and supplier classification, tax group and code configuration, product structure (BoM) type definitions, and production routing setup. We deliver a configuration checklist for the customer's Infor consultant to complete before the migration database is populated. Custom field definitions from Odoo Studio are mapped to Infor custom field equivalents, and the Infor consultant pre-creates these in the destination environment.
Odoo data extraction via RPC API with dependency-ordered staging
We extract Odoo records using XML-RPC or JSON-RPC API calls in dependency order: res.partner first (all Partners), then product.template and product.product, then stock.warehouse and stock.location, then sale.order and account.move, then mrp.bom, then mrp.production and stock.move, then project.project and project.task, and finally hr.employee. Each export uses search_read with batch sizes of 500-1,000 records and an offset loop to avoid timeouts on large datasets. External IDs are generated with a unique flitstack_migrate_ prefix before staging.
Infor migration database setup and import rule definition
We set up the Infor CloudSuite migration database and connect it to the extracted Odoo staging data per Infor's Migration Utility documentation. We define import rules for field-level transformations (date formats, decimal precision, Y/N to checkbox conversion, Odoo many2one tuple resolution to literal values). For any Odoo data that has no Infor counterpart (custom Odoo Studio fields, specific journal entries), we flag these as manual-entry requirements in the handoff package. The preliminary data transfer is run first to generate a Data Assessment Report for customer validation.
Preliminary transfer, data assessment, and reconciliation
We run the preliminary data transfer through Infor's Import Data Transfer form and generate the Data Assessment Report (CSV export). The customer's Infor consultant and data stewards review record counts, sample record spot-checks, and any transformation errors surfaced in the Transfer Log. We apply new import rules for any data quality issues found (invalid foreign keys, out-of-range values, missing required fields) and rerun the preliminary transfer until the error rate is below the agreed threshold before committing to the final data transfer.
Final data transfer and post-migration validation
We execute the final data transfer to commit all migrated records into the Infor CloudSuite production database. We perform post-migration reconciliation against the Odoo source record counts for each object, spot-check 25-50 records per object for field-level accuracy, and validate foreign-key integrity (Orders linked to correct Customers, Production Orders linked to correct BoMs). We deliver the migration reconciliation report, the custom-field handoff inventory, and the Odoo Workflow and Automation inventory to the customer's Infor consultant for post-migration rebuild.
