Overview
Moving from SAVIO ERP to Odoo ERP is a cross-platform migration for a niche laminate manufacturing context. SAVIO ERP holds no public API and requires coordinated vendor-assisted database pulls or CSV exports for every module, which extends the project timeline and adds a vendor-dependency risk that we manage through buffer scheduling and read-only database access requests. We extract Sales Enquiries, Sales Quotations, Sales Orders, Production Requisitions, sheet inventory with bar-code and per-sheet costing, Customer and Vendor records, GST-compliant invoices, chart of accounts, and HR-Payroll. Laminate-specific attributes (size, thickness, finish, plate type) transform to Odoo product variants using attribute lines and dimension tracking. Press Planning and Dryer Planning sequences map to Odoo Manufacturing Orders and work center capacity records. We do not migrate Workflows, automations, or Visitor Management records; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Odoo Studio or with an Odoo partner.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a SAVIO ERP 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.
SAVIO ERP
Sales Enquiries
Odoo ERP
CRM Lead
1:1SAVIO ERP Sales Enquiry records with followup dates and reminders map to Odoo CRM Lead records. The followup date becomes the lead_id.date_deadline; the reminder cadence preserves as a custom Char field tracking the original reminder interval. Alert preferences (SMS/Email) migrate as custom fields on the lead. We run enquiry records before any contact import so that the customer relationship is established first.
SAVIO ERP
Sales Quotations
Odoo ERP
Sale Order Template or Quotation
1:1SAVIO ERP Quotations keyed by size, thickness, finish (plate), and brand map to Odoo Sale Order lines. Brand-wise pricing rates transform to Odoo pricelist rules applied per product template. Per-unit pricing and size-dependent rates become Odoo Price List line conditions using attribute-based pricing. If the customer uses Odoo Quotation Templates for repeat job types, we extract quotation structures as template lines during scoping.
SAVIO ERP
Sales Order Booking
Odoo ERP
Sale Order
1:1SAVIO ERP Sales Order Booking records map directly to Odoo Sale Order. Order lines with size, thickness, finish, and brand attributes map to sale order lines referencing Odoo product variants. Delivery address and E-way bill-required flags migrate as custom fields on the sale order. Customer outstanding balance is informational and does not block order migration.
SAVIO ERP
Production Requisition
Odoo ERP
Manufacturing Order
1:1SAVIO ERP Production Requisition linked to Sales Order maps to Odoo Manufacturing Order. Press Planning and Dryer Planning sequences become Odoo work order operations with step dependencies. The Press Planning sequence order maps to operation sequence in the routing; Dryer Planning becomes a secondary work center assignment. We preserve the production requisition number as a reference field on the Manufacturing Order for audit traceability.
SAVIO ERP
Press Planning
Odoo ERP
Work Order Operation (Routing)
lossySAVIO ERP's Press Planning tracks press assignments by date and shift. This maps to Odoo Manufacturing Routings with a Press work center defined as the primary operation station. We create work center capacity records matching the daily shift schedule from SAVIO ERP, and map press assignment to the work order operation start time. If SAVIO ERP tracks press-specific plates (tooling assignments), these migrate as bill of materials tools or work center tools on the routing.
SAVIO ERP
Dryer Planning
Odoo ERP
Work Order Operation (Secondary Work Center)
lossySAVIO ERP's Dryer Planning tracks dryer chamber assignments and batch drying schedules. We create a Dryer work center in Odoo and map dryer assignments to secondary operations on the Manufacturing Order. Drying duration from SAVIO ERP becomes the operation duration on the secondary work order. If SAVIO ERP tracks batch size by dryer chamber, we configure work center capacity accordingly.
SAVIO ERP
Production Load (D-lite wise)
Odoo ERP
Work Center Capacity Record
1:1SAVIO ERP's D-lite (daily load) tracking by machine or production line maps to Odoo work center capacity records. Daily load percentage and machine assignment migrate to work center capacity calendars. We preserve historical D-lite data as a custom report table (or as analytic account entries) rather than live capacity records, since Odoo's capacity calendar is forward-looking. Production scheduling in Odoo uses the migrated capacity data as the baseline for finite capacity planning.
SAVIO ERP
Inventory Items (Sheet Inventory)
Odoo ERP
Product (with Variants)
1:manySAVIO ERP sheet inventory with size, thickness, finish (plate), and brand attributes maps to Odoo product templates with attribute-based variants. Each combination of size, thickness, finish, and brand becomes an Odoo product variant using product attributes (Product Attribute lines with value sets). Bar-code references migrate as Odoo product barcodes. Per-sheet expense costing migrates to custom product cost fields (Standard Price or Average Price depending on the costing method). We flag any sheet inventory records missing required attributes for manual resolution before import.
SAVIO ERP
Customer and Vendor
Odoo ERP
Partner (Contact)
1:1SAVIO ERP Party records map to Odoo Partner records with the Partner Type set to Customer or Vendor. Outstanding balances migrate as custom monetary fields for reference. SMS and Email alert preferences preserve as partner custom fields. GST registration details (GSTIN) migrate to the partner's Tax ID field. We import Customers before Vendors so that any shared contact records (party type both) are handled correctly as multi-type partners in Odoo.
SAVIO ERP
Sales Invoice
Odoo ERP
Account Move (Invoice)
1:1SAVIO ERP GST-compliant sales invoices map to Odoo Account Move (type out_invoice). E-way bill generation flags and E-way bill document references migrate as custom fields on the account move. Invoice line items reference Odoo product variants resolved from the original SAVIO ERP item codes. We import account moves after partners and products are established in Odoo to satisfy partner_id and product_id foreign key constraints.
SAVIO ERP
Delivery Challan
Odoo ERP
Stock Picking (Delivery Order)
1:1SAVIO ERP delivery challans map to Odoo Stock Picking (type out going). E-way bill requirement flags from the challan migrate as custom fields on the picking. If SAVIO ERP tracks challan-to-invoice linking, we create a picking reference on the corresponding Odoo account move. We import stock moves after the product variants and warehouse locations are configured in Odoo.
SAVIO ERP
Chart of Accounts
Odoo ERP
Account Chart
1:1SAVIO ERP's Accounts module ledger structure maps to Odoo's Chart of Accounts. We map income and expense accounts to standard Odoo account types (income, expense, other income, cost of goods sold). Account codes from SAVIO ERP preserve as the Odoo account code for audit continuity. If SAVIO ERP uses non-standard account structures for laminate-specific cost centers, we create additional account groups in Odoo during configuration. We import the chart of accounts before any journal entries or invoices to avoid orphaned move lines.
SAVIO ERP
HR-Payroll Records
Odoo ERP
Employee and Payroll
1:1SAVIO ERP Employee records with department assignments and basic compensation map to Odoo Employee records. Department names from SAVIO ERP map to Odoo Departments. Compensation details migrate as custom salary structure fields if the customer activates the Odoo Payroll app; otherwise they migrate as informational custom fields on the Employee record. Standard employee fields (name, contact, department, job title) migrate regardless of Payroll app activation.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Vendor coordination and data delivery agreement
We initiate contact with the SAVIO ERP support team to establish a data delivery schedule. We request read-only database access where possible to reduce repeated vendor touchpoints. We define a data delivery milestone specifying which modules (Sales Enquiries, Quotations, Orders, Production Requisitions, Inventory, Party records, Invoices, Challans, Chart of Accounts, HR) will be delivered in what format (CSV, direct DB export, or vendor-assisted query output) and by what date. We build 2-3 weeks of buffer into the schedule to absorb vendor response time. If database access is not available, we schedule vendor-assisted CSV export sessions and align our data cleansing team to run parallel with delivery.
Data extraction, profiling, and cleansing
We receive SAVIO ERP data in whatever format the vendor delivers (CSV, direct export, or query output) and run a full data profiling pass. This includes identifying duplicate customer records, inconsistent address formats, missing required fields on items, and any attribute combinations that require new Odoo product variants. We clean duplicates, standardize GSTIN formats, validate item codes, and flag records with missing or malformed data for the customer's review before any import begins. Data profiling typically runs 5-7 business days after data delivery and surfaces issues that, if left unaddressed, cause import failures in Odoo.
Odoo instance setup and laminate attribute schema design
We install Odoo (Community or Enterprise per the customer's license) and activate the required apps: CRM, Sales, Inventory, Manufacturing, Invoicing, Accounting, and HR. We create product attribute definitions for size, thickness, finish (plate type), and brand matching the SAVIO ERP attribute vocabulary. We define work centers for Press and Dryer with capacity calendars matching the SAVIO ERP shift and production schedule. We configure the Indian GST tax structure and chart of accounts template before any transactional data imports. The Indian localization setup (GST rates, HSN codes, E-way bill configuration steps) is documented for the customer to complete or hand to an Odoo India partner.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into an Odoo test database (not production) using the cleansed SAVIO ERP dataset. We validate record counts at each object layer: partners imported, products created with variants, sale orders created, manufacturing orders created, invoices posted, account moves balanced. The customer's operations manager spot-checks 30-50 records against the SAVIO ERP source for field-level accuracy, especially laminate attribute values on products, E-way bill flags on orders, and Press Planning assignments on work orders. We correct any mapping errors identified during reconciliation before production migration begins. Sandbox validation typically takes 5-7 business days.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in strict record-dependency order: Chart of Accounts first (no dependencies), then Partners (Customers and Vendors), then Products with attribute variants, then Inventory (stock quant initialization), then Sale Orders, then Manufacturing Orders (with work center assignments resolved), then Invoices and Challans, then HR Employees, then historical production records (D-lite load data as analytic entries). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We freeze SAVIO ERP writes during the final 48-hour cutover window and run a delta migration of any records modified during that window before switching the system of record to Odoo.
Cutover, validation, and admin handoff
We enable Odoo as the system of record after validating the final delta migration. We deliver the migration reconciliation report (record counts by object, any unmigrated records with reason codes) and the written inventory of out-of-scope items (Workflows, automations, Visitor Management, E-way bill API configuration steps). We provide a 5-business-day hypercare window to resolve any data quality issues surfaced by the operations team after go-live. We do not rebuild SAVIO ERP workflows as Odoo automations inside the migration scope; that work is scoped separately or handled by the customer's Odoo partner. Reports and dashboards require rebuild by the customer's admin or Odoo partner using Odoo's native reporting tools.
