Migrate from Stride ERP to Odoo ERP

Stride organizes accounts in a standard parent-child COA hierarchy. We extract account codes, names, and parent relationships and map them to Odoo's account.account model. Odoo's analytic accounting requires separate configuration; Stride's cost-center assignments map to Odoo analytic accounts or analytic plan segments depending on the destination's configured plan structure. We flag any accounts using Stride's country-specific tax codes (Nigeria vs Canada) for Odoo's tax mapping configuration.

Stride Customer records with contact details, billing addresses, and credit terms map to Odoo res.partner with the customer flag set to True. Stride's lifecycle stage or customer status fields map to a custom Char field on partner since Odoo does not have a native lifecycle model. We preserve the customer's Stride ID as a reference field for audit and reconciliation. Inactive customers in Stride are imported as partners with active=False in Odoo.

Stride Vendor master data maps to Odoo res.partner with supplier flag set to True. We extract AP aging balances from Stride and preserve open payable amounts as Odoo vendor bills in draft state for the customer's AP team to verify and confirm. Soft-deleted vendors in Stride are flagged for the customer's review before import to avoid creating inactive supplier records in Odoo.

Outstanding customer invoices in Stride map to Odoo account.move records of type out_invoice. We map Stride invoice numbers to Odoo's name field and preserve payment terms, due dates, and discount codes from Stride. Odoo requires a corresponding partner record before invoice import, so vendor and customer partner import must complete first. Credit memos in Stride map to Odoo out_refund or in_refund depending on direction.

Outstanding vendor bills in Stride map to Odoo account.move records of type in_invoice. We preserve Stride's vendor invoice number, payment terms, and due dates. Discount codes and early-payment terms require Odoo configuration as payment term lines on the partner record. We load bills as draft in Odoo so the AP team can verify amounts against Stride reports before posting.

Stride fixed asset records include location assignments, depreciation schedules, and accumulated depreciation balances. We extract accumulated depreciation separately from the asset master and reconstruct book value in Odoo using Stride's current net book value. Stride's country-specific depreciation method (Nigeria vs Canada tax rules) requires mapping to one of Odoo's supported depreciation methods (linear, degressive, or manually computed). We load assets as draft for the customer's accountant to confirm before activation.

Stride SKU-level items with warehouse locations, reorder points, and current stock quantities map to Odoo product.product. We request the detailed inventory ledger with location codes from Stride rather than accepting the aggregated totals in the standard export, and reconstruct Odoo's multi-warehouse structure (stock.location hierarchy) with quant records per warehouse. Products without multi-location detail in the Stride export are assigned to the default warehouse with a reconciliation flag.

Stride employee records map to Odoo hr.employee with department assignments, job titles, and employment status preserved. Active and terminated employees migrate separately; terminated employees are set to active=False in Odoo to preserve employment history. Stride's custom fields on employees map to Odoo hr.employee custom fields where the Odoo Enterprise HR module is enabled.

Stride payroll runs store pay periods, deduction codes, and benefit enrollment flags in a format that does not map automatically to Odoo's payroll schema. We parse the payroll export row by row, map Stride deduction codes to Odoo salary rule categories, and load compensation history as historical payslip records (draft state for accountant review) rather than live payroll entries. This approach preserves the compensation record without triggering Odoo's payroll processing workflow.

Stride project records with status, assignees, milestones, and task hierarchies map to Odoo project.project and project.task. We preserve billable rates, project codes, and customer associations. Custom fields on Stride projects map to Odoo custom properties on the project. Tasks migrate with their hierarchy intact using Odoo's parent_id dependency chain.

Purchase Requests exist in Stride as an add-on module and may not appear in Basic-tier accounts. Where they exist, we map approval workflows and line items to Odoo's purchase.requisition model. Stride's approval status maps to state transitions in Odoo. Line items (product, quantity, estimated cost) migrate as requisition lines. Approval routing requires Odoo configuration and does not auto-migrate.

Stride ticket records including status, assignee, customer association, and conversation history map to Odoo helpdesk.ticket if the destination Odoo instance includes the helpdesk module. Ticket pipeline stages map to Odoo ticket stages. SLA configuration in Stride does not transfer; we document the original SLA settings for the customer's admin to reconfigure in Odoo helpdesk. Conversation history migrates as message records on the ticket.
