Overview
Moving from weclapp ERP to Odoo ERP is a structural migration across two fundamentally different platforms. weclapp uses a unified object model with German-native DATEV integration and a fixed-tier subscription; Odoo uses a modular app architecture where each business function (Sales, Inventory, Accounting, Projects) is a separate installed app sharing one database. We map weclapp Customers and Companies to Odoo Contacts and Companies, Sales Orders to Sale Orders with line items resolved against Odoo Product variants, and Projects to Odoo Project with nested Tasks and time entries. We flag that weclapp's CSV export templates are corrupted by Excel on open and always preprocess format-free before ingestion. DATEV integration, workflows, and form-based automations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of any DATEV configuration and automation rules for the customer's Odoo partner to rebuild post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a weclapp 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.
weclapp erp
Customer
Odoo ERP
Contact (private address)
1:1weclapp Customers map to Odoo private addresses on the res.partner record. weclapp stores name, address, email, phone, tax ID, and payment terms; Odoo splits these into Contact (address data) and the partner itself. The weclapp customer number becomes the partner's ref field for dedupe. Tax ID from weclapp maps to Odoo's vat field for EU VAT validation. Customer type (company vs individual) sets the Odoo partner's is_company flag.
weclapp erp
Company
Odoo ERP
Company (commercial partner)
1:1weclapp Company records (B2B accounts distinct from individual contacts) map to Odoo commercial partners with is_company=True. The weclapp company address, website, industry, and employee count map to equivalent Odoo partner fields. When a weclapp Company has linked weclapp Contacts, those map to Odoo private addresses attached to the commercial partner. Company is created before any contact import so the parent link is satisfied at insert time.
weclapp erp
Item (Product)
Odoo ERP
Product Template + Product Variant
1:1weclapp Items (products and services with SKU, description, unit price, stock quantity) map to Odoo Product Template records. weclapp pricing tiers per customer group map to Odoo Pricelist entries attached to the Product Template. Stock quantities on hand transfer to Odoo quants in the default warehouse location. weclapp Items with variant attributes (size, color) generate Odoo Product Variants through the attribute configuration. Service items without stock tracking map to Product Template with type=service.
weclapp erp
Sales Order
Odoo ERP
Sale Order
1:1weclapp Sales Orders with linked Customers and Items map to Odoo sale.order with sale.order.line records. The weclapp order status (Draft, Confirmed, Delivered, Invoiced) maps to Odoo's state field (draft, sale, done, cancel). Historical closed orders export as read-only Odoo sale.order records. Order dates, shipping addresses, and payment terms migrate. weclapp's sales representative assignment maps to Odoo's user_id on the order header.
weclapp erp
Purchase Order
Odoo ERP
Purchase Order
1:1weclapp Purchase Orders map to Odoo purchase.order with purchase.order.line records. Linked vendor records from weclapp map to Odoo supplier partners (supplier rank > 0). Line items preserve quantity, agreed unit price, and product link. Purchase order status from weclapp maps to Odoo's state field (draft, sent, purchase, done, cancel). Dates and the assigned buyer user migrate to Odoo's date_order and user_id respectively.
weclapp erp
Quote
Odoo ERP
Sale Order (Quotation)
1:1weclapp Sales Quotations map to Odoo sale.order in draft state (Odoo uses the same model for both quotes and confirmed orders, differentiating by state). The weclapp validity date maps to Odoo's validity_date field. Pricing and line items transfer directly. Once a weclapp quote is Accepted, it migrates to Odoo sale state; if it remains open, it stays in draft state as a quotation. Customer signature or acceptance records do not carry over as Odoo does not store a separate signed-document record natively.
weclapp erp
Invoice
Odoo ERP
Account Move (Invoice)
1:1weclapp Invoices map to Odoo account.move of type out_invoice (for customer invoices) or in_invoice (for vendor bills). Line items, tax codes, payment terms, and invoice status migrate. Paid and closed weclapp invoices migrate as Odoo posted (locked) records and must not be re-activated to prevent double-posting in financial reports. weclapp's DATEV export fields (tax rates, account codes) are noted in the mapping but Odoo does not have native DATEV export — this requires a separate DATEV-compatible accounting module or custom development post-migration.
weclapp erp
Project
Odoo ERP
Project
1:1weclapp Projects with nested Tasks and optional time entries map to Odoo project.project and project.task. The weclapp project status workflow (active, completed, archived) maps to Odoo's active and stage_id fields. Project manager assignment migrates to Odoo's user_id on the project header. Time entries on weclapp tasks map to Odoo account.analytic.line (timesheet entries) linked to the task if the Timesheets app is installed. Project billable flag from weclapp Services plan maps to Odoo's allow_billable setting.
weclapp erp
Document
Odoo ERP
IrAttachment
1:1weclapp Documents attached to Customers, Companies, Orders, Invoices, and Projects export as binary blobs. We re-upload them to Odoo as ir.attachment records linked via res_model and res_id to the corresponding Odoo record (res.partner, sale.order, account.move, project.project). Original filenames and MIME types are preserved. Odoo's attachment storage backend (database or file system) is set during Odoo installation and affects how we configure the upload endpoint during migration.
weclapp erp
Custom Fields
Odoo ERP
Custom Fields (ir.model.fields)
lossyweclapp custom fields on Customers, Companies, Items, Orders, and Projects are enumerated during discovery by querying object metadata per-type (there is no single discovery endpoint in weclapp's API). We create equivalent custom fields in Odoo via developer mode or the settings UI, with Salesforce-style __c API names, before record import. Custom field type mapping: weclapp text maps to Odoo char or text depending on length; weclapp date maps to Odoo date; weclapp number maps to Odoo float or integer; weclapp dropdown maps to Odoo selection. Any custom fields with no Odoo equivalent are flagged for manual re-entry or custom field creation.
weclapp erp
Helpdesk Ticket (Add-on)
Odoo ERP
Project (Helpdesk type)
1:1weclapp Helpdesk Tickets (available on plans with the Helpdesk add-on) map to Odoo helpdesk.ticket if the Helpdesk app is installed, or to project.task in a dedicated helpdesk project if the app is not in scope. Ticket status, priority, linked Customer, assigned Agent, and conversation threads export. Conversation threads map to Odoo mail.message records linked to the ticket. The Helpdesk add-on must be confirmed active in weclapp during scoping — if absent, tickets are not present in the export and scope is adjusted accordingly.
weclapp erp
Contract (Add-on)
Odoo ERP
Account Move (recurring) or sale.subscription
1:1weclapp Contract Management add-on records (available on certain plans) link to Customers and carry contract terms, start/end dates, and renewal details. These map to Odoo sale.subscription (for recurring service contracts) if the Subscription app is installed, or to account.move records for one-time contracts. Linked contract documents migrate as ir.attachment. If the Contract Management add-on is not active on the source weclapp plan, contract records are absent from export and this object is removed from migration scope.

Migration approach
Discovery and plan selection
We audit the source weclapp account across plan tier (Starter/Services/Trade), active add-ons (Helpdesk, Contract Management), custom fields per object type, document attachment volume, and order/invoice history depth. We pair this with a destination Odoo edition recommendation: Odoo Community (free) for businesses needing only Sales and Inventory; Odoo Standard (€31/user/month) for full ERP with Accounting and Project; Odoo Custom (€47/user/month) for multi-company, Helpdesk, or Subscription apps. The discovery output is a written migration scope with object inventory, record counts, and destination edition recommendation.
CSV preprocessing and format validation
We extract master data exports from weclapp using the CSV wizard and open them format-free in a text editor or pandas DataFrame to prevent Excel reformatting. We validate column integrity for date fields (Birthday, invoice dates), phone numbers, and tax IDs before any transformation step. This preprocessing is the first transformation pass and catches the silent data corruption that causes malformed records to pass basic import validation in Odoo.
Odoo schema design and app activation
We design the destination Odoo configuration: activate the relevant apps (Sales, Purchase, Inventory, Accounting, Project, Helpdesk or Subscription based on scope), configure the chart of accounts (Germany-co-specific if DATEV is planned), set up warehouse and location hierarchy for inventory migration, configure product categories and attribute groups for variants, and create custom fields on each model to match enumerated weclapp custom fields. Schema is validated in an Odoo test database before any production migration step.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into an Odoo test database using production-like data volume. The customer's operations lead reconciles record counts (Customers in, Contacts in, Products in, Orders in, Invoices in) and spot-checks 25-50 records against the weclapp source. Any mapping corrections — such as custom field type mismatches, product variant attribute mapping, or tax code resolution — happen in the test database, not production. This step also validates that Odoo's attachment storage backend can accept the document volume without performance degradation.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: commercial partners (from weclapp Companies), private contacts (from weclapp Customers with parent link), product templates (from weclapp Items with pricing tiers), sale orders, purchase orders, invoices (paid invoices as posted/locked), project and task hierarchy with time entries, documents (ir.attachment re-upload), custom field values, then Helpdesk tickets or Subscription contracts if the respective add-ons are in scope. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and rebuild handoff
We freeze weclapp writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then mark Odoo as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of any DATEV configuration present in weclapp (account codes, tax mappings, export templates) for the customer's Odoo partner to re-implement, and a written automation inventory noting that weclapp workflow rules, condition chains, and form-based approvals do not migrate and must be rebuilt as Odoo automated actions or server actions. We support a one-week post-go-live window to resolve reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuild, DATEV module setup, and Odoo partner configuration are outside standard migration scope.
