Overview
Moving from Udyog ERP to Dolibarr is a structural shift from a proprietary, Windows-based, India-GST-native ERP to an open-source modular PHP application that runs on MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL. The migration requires direct SQL queries against the Udyog ERP database (on-premise) or vendor-assisted CSV exports (cloud), because Udyog ERP has no documented public REST or SOAP API. We validate every GSTIN and HSN code against the GSTN portal during data cleaning, flag multi-level BOMs for Dolibarr manufacturing-module configuration, and map India-specific tax ledgers (GST, TDS, TCS) to Dolibarr's accounting chart. Dolibarr has no native Work Order or Production Order equivalent; we document these as configuration items for the customer's admin to address post-migration. Workflows, automations, and GST filing exports do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer to rebuild in Dolibarr or address through the Dolibarr community modules.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Udyog ERP object lands in Dolibarr ERP, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Udyog ERP
Customer
Dolibarr ERP
ThirdParty (Customer type)
1:1Udyog ERP Customer master stores billing address, GSTIN, PAN, contact name, phone, and email as flat fields. We extract via direct SQL SELECT from the customer ledger tables, validate each GSTIN against the GSTN checksum algorithm and the public GSTN API, and map to Dolibarr ThirdParty records with the customer type flag set. PAN numbers map to Dolibarr's VAT number or a custom IdExt field. Billing address maps to the Dolibarr address fields; separate shipping addresses require the Dolibarr Addresses module activation.
Udyog ERP
Vendor
Dolibarr ERP
ThirdParty (Supplier type)
1:1Vendor master mirrors Customer structure with additional TDS deduction fields. We preserve vendor GSTIN and extract TDS rate codes for mapping to Dolibarr's accounting dimension fields or a custom supplier-specific field. The ThirdParty record is created with supplier type in Dolibarr. Indian statutory deductions (TDS sections 194C, 194J, etc.) are flagged as configuration items because Dolibarr's base accounting does not include India-specific TDS withholding modules natively.
Udyog ERP
Item
Dolibarr ERP
Product
1:1Udyog ERP Item master includes SKU, HSN code, unit of measure, opening stock, and valuation method (FIFO or weighted average). We export Items with their current stock levels and map HSN codes to Dolibarr's product categorization. Standard BOM linkages are extracted as separate parent-child relationships for BOM reconstruction in Dolibarr. Dolibarr's stock valuation uses the same FIFO and weighted-average methods; we map the valuation_method field directly.
Udyog ERP
Chart of Accounts
Dolibarr ERP
Account (Accounting module)
1:1Udyog ERP's Indian accounting chart includes statutory ledgers for GST input tax, GST output tax, TDS receivable, TDS payable, TCS, and CGST/SGST/IGST split accounts. We map standard account codes to Dolibarr accounting chart equivalents and flag any India-specific tax accounts (GST, TDS, TCS) that require a community module or custom PHP configuration in Dolibarr before the accounting module is functional for Indian compliance.
Udyog ERP
Open AR (Outstanding Receivables)
Dolibarr ERP
Customer Invoice (unpaid)
1:manyOutstanding receivable vouchers from Udyog ERP include voucher number, party name, gross amount, GST tax component, and due date. We split each voucher into a Dolibarr Customer Invoice record with status = unpaid and a corresponding payment schedule line. The original voucher numbering is preserved in the Dolibarr ref and ref_int fields for audit continuity. GST tax lines are mapped to the Dolibarr invoice tax lines using the HSN-mapped product/service line.
Udyog ERP
Open AP (Outstanding Payables)
Dolibarr ERP
Supplier Invoice (unpaid)
1:manyOutstanding payable vouchers from Udyog ERP map to Dolibarr Supplier Invoice records with status = unpaid. TDS deduction amounts from Udyog ERP vendor records are carried as credit entries on the corresponding TDS payable account in Dolibarr's accounting module. Voucher-level detail preserves the original Udyog ERP numbering in the Dolibarr ref_int field.
Udyog ERP
Journal Entry
Dolibarr ERP
Banking or Miscellaneous Transaction
1:1All posted journal vouchers from Udyog ERP with narration, date, and multi-legger debit/credit lines are exported in chronological sequence. We maintain the original voucher numbering to preserve audit trail continuity. Each journal line maps to a corresponding Debit or Credit line in Dolibarr's accounting module. Narration text migrates to the Dolibarr label or note field.
Udyog ERP
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Dolibarr ERP
Product / Bill of Materials (configuration)
lossyMulti-level BOMs with nested sub-assemblies, scrap percentages, operation sequences, and work centre assignments require careful extraction and Dolibarr-specific configuration. Dolibarr does not ship a native manufacturing module in its core package; BOM support is available through the MRP DoliStore module or requires custom PHP development. We extract the full BOM hierarchy via SQL, flatten it to the active BOM version at migration time, and deliver a written BOM configuration guide for the Dolibarr admin to implement in the target system along with the extracted component and scrap data.
Udyog ERP
Work Order
Dolibarr ERP
Project / Task (configuration)
lossyUdyog ERP Work Orders reference a BOM, planned quantity, and actual production quantities with status flags (Pending, In Progress, Closed). Dolibarr has no native Work Order object. We map Work Orders to Dolibarr Projects with Tasks representing individual work order operations, preserving the original status as a custom Project status field. The customer configures the DoliStore MRP module or a project-based production tracking workflow post-migration.
Udyog ERP
Production Order
Dolibarr ERP
Project / Task (configuration)
lossyProduction orders in Udyog ERP capture input material consumption and finished goods output with date-stamped transactions. We extract full consumption ledgers and flag any under-closed production orders requiring manual resolution. In Dolibarr, production tracking is handled through the Project and Task modules with material consumption recorded as expense lines; the customer implements a DoliStore production module or custom workflow for full manufacturing parity.
Udyog ERP
Employee
Dolibarr ERP
User (HR module)
1:1Udyog ERP Employee records include designation, department, PAN, bank account details, and leave balances. We extract core employee fields (name, email, phone, department, designation) and map them to Dolibarr User records. Bank details for payroll processing require a custom field or the Dolibarr HR module's bank information section. Leave balances from Udyog ERP's HRMS submodule are documented separately because Dolibarr's leave management is basic and country-specific; the customer reconciles leave data manually or through a DoliStore HR module.
Udyog ERP
Project / Cost Centre
Dolibarr ERP
Project
1:1Udyog ERP Project master and cost centres link to budget lines, revenue recognition schedules, and milestone billing. We extract project WIP balances, open task lists, and milestone definitions. In Dolibarr, Projects store the project name, description, date range, and budget. WIP balances map to Dolibarr expense or time-tracking entries against the Project. Milestone billing requires manual setup in Dolibarr's Project module or a DoliStore module.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Deployment assessment and data access provisioning
We determine whether the Udyog ERP deployment is on-premise (requiring read-only SQL access to the live or restored database) or DigiUdyog Cloud (requiring vendor coordination for data export). We review the AMC status for cloud deployments and schedule database read access for on-premise. We audit the SQL schema to identify table names for Customers, Vendors, Items, GL accounts, AP/AR vouchers, Journal entries, BOM structures, Work Orders, Production Orders, and Employees. We confirm the data volumes for each object to size the migration scope and timeline.
Data extraction, GSTIN validation, and BOM explosion
We run direct SQL SELECT queries against the Udyog ERP database to extract all migration objects. Every extracted GSTIN is validated against the GSTN checksum algorithm and cross-referenced against the public GSTN API to flag inactive or malformed registrations before import. Multi-level BOMs are exploded in SQL to flatten the full component hierarchy, compute scrap percentages, and produce a flat bill-of-materials table. Journal entries and vouchers are extracted in chronological sequence with full debit/credit line detail. The extraction output is a set of CSV/JSON datasets with source record IDs preserved for reconciliation.
Dolibarr installation, module activation, and schema preparation
We assist with or coordinate Dolibarr installation (on the customer's chosen hosting environment) and activate the required modules: ThirdParty (for customers and suppliers), Product, Stock, BOM (if a compatible DoliStore manufacturing module is selected), Project, HR, and Accounting. We create the India-specific Chart of Accounts structure in Dolibarr's accounting module, flagging any accounts that require custom field configuration due to the absence of a native India GST module. Custom fields for GSTIN, PAN, and HSN are added to ThirdParty and Product records before data import begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Dolibarr staging environment using production-like data volumes. The customer's team reconciles record counts (Customers in, Vendors in, Items in, AP/AR vouchers in, Journal entries in, Employees in), spot-checks 25-50 records against the Udyog ERP source, and reviews BOM reconstruction in Dolibarr. Any mapping corrections, missing fields, or BOM configuration issues are documented and resolved in staging before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: ThirdParty records (Customers and Vendors with GSTIN and PAN), then Products with HSN codes and stock levels, then Chart of Accounts entries, then open AP/AR vouchers as unpaid invoices, then Journal entries, then Employees, then Projects and Work Orders as project-based configuration. BOM component data is delivered as a structured export for the customer to import into the selected Dolibarr manufacturing module post-migration. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and configuration handoff
We freeze writes to Udyog ERP during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. We validate total record counts, GSTIN integrity, and open AP/AR voucher balances against Udyog ERP trial balance reports. We deliver the BOM configuration guide for the Dolibarr admin, the GST module installation recommendation, and the TDS/TCS accounting setup notes. We do not install DoliStore modules or configure Dolibarr's manufacturing or payroll features as standard scope; those are separate configuration tasks or engagement extensions. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
