Migrate from Solution ERP to Odoo ERP

Account codes, names, and hierarchies transfer cleanly from Solution ERP into Odoo's account chart. Gulf-specific VAT and excise tax codes require explicit mapping because Qatar's tax regime differs from Odoo's European tax templates. We extract the full tax code catalogue during scoping, build a mapping table against Odoo's tax group model, and flag any codes with no direct equivalent for manual resolution before import begins. Inactive accounts in Solution ERP are migrated as inactive records in Odoo to preserve audit continuity.

Customer records with contact details, addresses, and payment terms transfer to Odoo Contact with related Address records. Arabic company names are preserved in UTF-8 encoding and we confirm the destination Odoo configuration supports RTL field rendering if Arabic character display is required. Customer credit limits and payment terms map to Odoo's property_payment_term_id and property_account_position_id fields. Tax identification numbers transfer to Odoo's vat field for GCC VAT compliance reporting.

Vendor master records including tax registration numbers and bank details transfer to Odoo Contacts with supplier=True. We validate IBAN and bank account formats against the destination country's banking standards during migration. Solution ERP vendor-specific fields (such as customs registration for import vendors) map to Odoo custom fields created during schema setup. Payment terms and fiscal positions transfer to Odoo's vendor accounting configuration.

Items with pricing, stock levels, and unit-of-measure hierarchies transfer to Odoo Product records. Unit-of-measure naming conventions differ between Solution ERP and Odoo, requiring aUoM mapping table built during discovery. Product categories map to Odoo product categories, and item costing method (standard vs average) maps to Odoo's product cost computation method. Stock quantities transfer as Odoo current inventory quantities with a validation count recommended before go-live.

Outstanding payables and receivables require careful date-range scoping around the migration cutoff. We match open invoice numbers between Solution ERP and Odoo to prevent duplication, and flag partial payments that span the migration cutoff date for the customer's accounting team to reconcile. Open AP/AR migrates as draft documents in Odoo so the accounting team can validate and post after confirming balances against the source ledger.

Past journal entries transfer on request with full line-item detail. Volume-based chunking applies for large histories, and we preserve original posting dates and periods to maintain audit continuity. We run pre-migration data quality checks identifying missing fields, inconsistent date formats, and duplicate entries that accumulated through years of manual corrections. Historical records are migrated after clean current-year data so that any quarantined records do not block go-live.

Project records including budgets, milestones, and cost allocations transfer directly to Odoo Project. Construction-specific phases and billing schedules map to Odoo project stages and project types. Project cost centres in Solution ERP map to analytic accounts in Odoo, enabling cost tracking across departments. Milestone-based billing schedules transfer as Odoo project milestones linked to sale order lines where applicable.

Work orders in Solution ERP are construction or project-specific task records that may map to either Odoo Manufacturing Orders (if the operations are production-oriented) or Project Tasks (if they are service or project-oriented). We identify the nature of each work order during discovery and configure the mapping accordingly. Task dependencies and scheduling information transfer to Odoo's task planning model.

POS transactions in Solution ERP may not carry the cost-of-goods-sold split needed for accurate financial posting in Odoo. We identify POS-specific transaction types during discovery, split each entry into an invoice line (for revenue posting) and a COGS journal line (using the destination COGS account configured for the product category), and apply Odoo's landed cost posting if applicable. POS cash reconciliation records map to Odoo's point of sale session closing entries.

Bank account balances and cash account records migrate to Odoo accounting journals with type Bank or Cash. We apply a migration-date cutoff balance adjustment to reconcile any transactions posted in Solution ERP after the export snapshot. Bank reconciliation state does not transfer; the customer's accounting team performs fresh bank reconciliation in Odoo from the migration date forward.

Asset registers including acquisition dates, depreciation methods, and net book value transfer to Odoo Asset records. We validate depreciation schedules against destination tax depreciation rules and map Solution ERP depreciation methods (straight-line, reducing balance) to Odoo's asset depreciation profile. NBV at migration date is recalculated in Odoo using the original acquisition value and accumulated depreciation from Solution ERP.

Attached files and document records require file-type filtering. We extract document metadata (date, author, document type) separately from binary content and map these to Odoo ir.attachment records linked to the corresponding business object. Some Odoo modules store documents differently (project documents vs accounting attachments), so we determine the correct storage location per document type during schema setup.
