Overview
Moving from Sage 100cloud to Odoo ERP is a structural migration that starts with direct SQL access rather than an API call. Sage 100cloud has no public REST endpoint for live transactional data; every extraction requires Pervasive SQL or Microsoft SQL Server read access inside the customer's network or via VPN. We establish a secure SQL connection during discovery, mirror the Sage Business Objects Information (BIE) layer, and validate row counts before transformation. On the destination side, Odoo's modular architecture (Contacts for customers and vendors, Products for inventory items, Projects for job costing, and Account models for GL) requires a schema redesign rather than a field-by-field copy. We reconstruct multi-level BOM structures from Sage IC_BOM tables, split Sage's multi-warehouse inventory into Odoo's Warehouse and Stock Location hierarchy, and translate Sage job phases and cost codes into Odoo project tasks with analytic accounts. Open AR/AP invoices migrate as individual account.move records with full line-item detail. We do not migrate Sage workflows, module-specific automations, or custom UDF extension tables; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's Odoo partner to rebuild post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Sage 100cloud 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.
Sage 100cloud
AR_Customer
Odoo ERP
res.partner (contact_type = 'contact')
1:1Sage AR_Customer master records map to Odoo res.partner with partner_type = 'contact'. Billing address, shipping address, payment terms, credit limit, and salesperson assignment transfer to the corresponding Odoo fields. Sage customer IDs are preserved in a custom reference field for audit. Dedup matching uses Sage CustomerCode as external ID.
Sage 100cloud
AP_Vendor
Odoo ERP
res.partner (contact_type = 'invoice')
1:1Sage AP_Vendor records map to Odoo res.partner with partner_type = 'supplier'. 1099 settings, W-9 status, and tax ID transfer to Odoo's fiscal country settings and partner fields. Vendor payment terms and 1099 flag values must be mapped explicitly since Odoo stores tax reporting configuration in fiscal positions rather than on the partner record.
Sage 100cloud
GL_Account (Chart of Accounts)
Odoo ERP
account.account
1:1Sage GL account codes map to Odoo account.account with corresponding account_type (asset, liability, equity, income, expense). Sage account segments (Division, Department) can be modeled as Odoo account.group or analytic.account tags, depending on whether the customer needs separate reporting dimensions. We preserve the full account code structure in the account.account code field.
Sage 100cloud
IC_Item (Inventory Items)
Odoo ERP
product.product + product.template
1:1Sage IC_Item records map to Odoo product.product linked to product.template. Unit of measure, cost method (standard, average, FIFO), and item type (stockable, consumable, service) transfer directly. Sage's multi-warehouse flag maps to Odoo's stock.warehouse active status. Lot/serial tracking settings from Sage transfer to Odoo's traceability configuration on the product template.
Sage 100cloud
IC_BOM (Bill of Materials)
Odoo ERP
mrp.bom + mrp.bom.line
1:manyMulti-level Sage BOM structures from IC_BOM and IC_BOMComponent tables reconstruct as Odoo mrp.bom records with recursive mrp.bom.line entries. Sage BOM routing (work centers, labor rates) maps to Odoo mrp.routing/workcenter. Single-level BOMs where all components are raw materials map cleanly; multi-level assemblies with subassemblies require a topological sort during ETL to ensure parent records insert before child records. If the customer uses Sage's job-costing BOMs tied to JC_Job, those BOMs are handled in the project migration step.
Sage 100cloud
IC_Bin (Warehouse Bins)
Odoo ERP
stock.location
1:manySage IC_Bin records map to Odoo stock.location entries structured under the corresponding stock.warehouse's view locations. Sage multi-bin per warehouse maps to Odoo's location hierarchy (WH/Stock/Zone/Shelf/Bin). Bin capacity constraints from Sage do not transfer; Odoo does not enforce bin-level capacity by default, so the customer decides whether to configure this as a post-migration Odoo setting.
Sage 100cloud
AR_Invoice (Open AR)
Odoo ERP
account.move (type = 'out_invoice')
1:1Open accounts receivable invoices from AR_Invoice and AR_Payment transfer to Odoo account.move with type 'out_invoice' and state 'posted'. Invoice line items (product, quantity, unit price, tax) map to account.move.line. Payment terms and aging buckets from Sage transfer as corresponding Odoo invoice terms and payment registration records. Fully paid invoices can be migrated as posted moves; partially paid invoices record the payment against the invoice in Odoo's reconciliation module.
Sage 100cloud
AP_Invoice (Open AP)
Odoo ERP
account.move (type = 'in_invoice')
1:1Open accounts payable invoices from AP_Invoice and AP_Payment map to Odoo account.move with type 'in_invoice'. Vendor references, invoice dates, due dates, and amounts transfer to the corresponding Odoo fields. Historical checks already cleared in Sage are not migrated unless the customer requires a full payment history for audit purposes, which is a scoping decision.
Sage 100cloud
SO_SalesOrder + OE_Invoice
Odoo ERP
sale.order + account.move (out_invoice)
1:1Open Sage sales orders and invoices migrate to Odoo sale.order (for unfulfilled orders) and account.move (for posted invoices). Header-level custom fields from Sage are flagged for manual re-entry since the custom field export path requires separate schema extraction from module-specific extension tables. We map order status from Sage (open, partially shipped, closed) to Odoo sale.order state.
Sage 100cloud
PO_PurchaseOrder
Odoo ERP
purchase.order
1:1Open Sage purchase orders migrate to Odoo purchase.order. We flag partially-received POs during scoping so the customer can decide whether to carry forward the partial receipt history. Sage PO line-item detail (product, quantity ordered, quantity received, unit cost) maps to Odoo POLine. If Sage stores receipts as separate IC_Receipt records, we apply those against the PO during migration to reflect the correct received-but-not-invoiced quantity.
Sage 100cloud
JC_Job + JC_Transaction (Job Costing)
Odoo ERP
project.project + project.task + account.analytic.account
1:manySage JC_Job records with phases, cost codes, budget vs. actual, and transaction history (labor, materials, subcontractor) translate to Odoo project.project with nested project.task entries. Sage cost codes map to analytic account tags or cost-center accounts in Odoo. We preserve budget amounts and actuals as Odoo project milestones and task costs where Odoo's project budget module is available (Enterprise or installed from OCA). Historical job transactions migrate as project.task records with time and cost entries.
Sage 100cloud
FA_Asset (Fixed Assets)
Odoo ERP
account.asset.asset
1:1Sage FA_Asset records (acquisition cost, depreciation method, book value, useful life, accumulated depreciation) map to Odoo account.asset.asset with the corresponding depreciation table entries. Depreciation schedules reconstruct from Sage FA_Depreciation records. Sage asset categories map to Odoo asset profile, which controls the depreciation method and journal.

Migration approach
Discovery and SQL connection setup
We audit the Sage 100cloud company database by establishing a secure read-only SQL connection (Pervasive SQL or Microsoft SQL Server depending on the customer's deployment), extracting row counts from every module table (AR_Customer, AP_Vendor, IC_Item, IC_BOM, IC_Bin, GL_Account, AR_Invoice, AP_Invoice, SO_SalesOrder, PO_PurchaseOrder, JC_Job, JC_Transaction, FA_Asset), identifying locked GL periods, and cataloging UDF columns in each module's extension tables. We also confirm the Odoo edition (Community self-hosted vs. Enterprise cloud) and installed modules so that destination schema design is accurate. The discovery output is a written scope document with row counts, data quality observations, and a module-by-module migration priority ranking.
Destination schema design in Odoo
We design the Odoo destination schema based on the discovery output. This includes creating product templates and variants for Sage inventory items, configuring warehouse and location hierarchy for Sage bins, designing the account.account Chart of Accounts mapping from Sage GL accounts, setting up project structures for Sage job costing, and configuring the Sage vendor 1099 and tax ID mapping for Odoo fiscal positions. If the customer uses Odoo Community (self-hosted), we coordinate with their Odoo partner or IT team to provision the staging environment. If the customer uses Odoo Enterprise, we provision a staging database copy for reconciliation. UDF fields from Sage are flagged as manual-entry items at this stage, not automated migration.
Staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Odoo staging environment using production-like data volume. The customer's finance and operations leads reconcile record counts (customers in, vendors in, products in, BOM levels in, open invoices in, GL accounts in, job records in), spot-check 25-50 random records against the Sage source, and validate that Sage job-costing phase structures map correctly to Odoo project tasks. Any mapping corrections, missing foreign-key resolutions, or data quality issues surface here and are fixed in the ETL scripts before production migration begins.
Owner and contact reconciliation
We extract every distinct Sage salesperson and purchasing agent referenced on customer, vendor, order, and job records and match by name or email against the Odoo destination's res.users table. Any unmatched owners are held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision as Odoo users before record import resumes. This step gates the migration of any record that requires an owner assignment in Odoo (sales orders, purchase orders, projects, invoices).
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: res.partner records (vendors first for AP, then customers for AR), product templates and variants, stock locations and warehouses, BOM structures (recursive top-down for multi-level), open purchase orders, open sales orders, open AR and AP invoices (as account.move records), GL account setup, fixed assets (as account.asset records), job costing (project.project and project.task with analytic accounts), and historical GL entries if scope includes them. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. UDF data is delivered as a sidecar CSV alongside the migration.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Sage 100cloud writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of every Sage module automation (workflows, approval rules, module-specific alerts) and UDF field requiring manual re-entry in Odoo, with Odoo equivalent suggestions where applicable (Odoo Studio for workflow rules, computed fields for automation). We support a two-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Sage automations as Odoo automated actions inside the migration scope; that work belongs to the customer's Odoo partner as a post-migration configuration task.
