Odoo Migration

Odoo Migration and Upgrade Services

The risk in a migration is not the loading, it is the reconciliation and the cutover weekend.

  • 4-8 wkTypical migration window
  • EveryBatch reconciled before sign-off
  • 1+Full cycle run in parallel

Why It Matters

A new ERP loses trust the first time a report does not match

Do not carry the old mess into Odoo

Most source data holds the same partner three times, product codes that meant different things in different years, and accounts nobody has posted to since 2019. We profile all of it and hand you a report, so you decide what merges, what is renamed and what is left behind.

  • A duplicate and blank-field report before any load
  • Merge and naming rules agreed by your team
  • Cleaning applied in staging, never in production

Moving up an Odoo release is its own project

Odoo ships yearly, and an upgrade moves the database itself rather than loading fresh records.

  • Database upgrade rehearsed on staging first
  • Custom modules and integrations tested against the release
  • A report and an agreed window before you commit

From source extract to a cutover you can plan around

  1. Profile

    We extract the source data and report on duplicates, gaps and inconsistent codes.

  2. Map and clean

    You agree the merge and naming rules, and we apply them in a staging area.

  3. Trial load

    Batches load into a test database and are reconciled against the source.

  4. Parallel run

    You post in both systems for a full cycle and compare the closing reports.

  5. Cutover

    A final extract, a timed freeze window, the production load and sign-off.

What a migration covers

  • Source data profile

    A written report on duplicates, blanks, inconsistent codes and anything that will not map cleanly.

  • Field mapping sheet

    Every source field matched to its Odoo destination, with the transformation rules recorded.

  • Cleaning in staging

    Merges, renaming and standardisation applied to a working copy, never to your live records.

  • Batch reconciliation

    Counts, control totals, trial balance and stock valuation matched before each sign-off.

  • Parallel run support

    Help comparing both systems through a full cycle, so you switch on evidence rather than a date.

  • Cutover runbook

    A timed plan with the freeze window, load order, checks, owners and the rollback route.

Why teams choose TCB Infotech for Odoo migration

  • Reconciliation is the deliverable

    We treat matching totals as the job, not as a check at the end of the job.

  • We advise on what to leave

    Carrying ten years of history is expensive and rarely useful. We say so before you pay for it.

  • Staging, never production

    Cleaning happens on a copy, so your live records are untouched until you approve the result.

  • Repeatable loaders

    Scripts, not manual imports, so the cutover load is a rerun of something already proven.

  • Version upgrades too

    We move databases across Odoo releases and test your modules before you commit.

Odoo migration questions

What can we migrate into Odoo?

Partners, products and variants, price lists, bills of material and the chart of accounts, plus opening balances, open sales and purchase orders, unpaid invoices, stock on hand by location and, where you need it, closed history for reporting.

Do you also handle Odoo version upgrades?

Yes, and it is a different job from a first migration. A version upgrade means moving the database itself, then testing your custom modules and integrations against the new release. We rehearse the whole thing on a staging copy and give you a report before touching production.

Do we have to bring across all our old history?

Usually not, and it is often the wrong choice. Most businesses load masters plus open items and opening balances, and keep the old system available read-only for older records. We help you decide what is worth carrying, because every extra year adds testing time and cost.

What happens to duplicate and messy records?

We profile the source data first and hand you a report of duplicates, blanks and inconsistent codes. You confirm the merge and naming rules, we apply them in a staging area, and only the cleaned set is loaded. Migrating the mess just moves the problem.

How do you prove the migration is correct?

Every batch is reconciled against the source before sign-off: record counts, control totals, the trial balance, stock quantity and value by location, and open receivables and payables by partner. Your finance team signs each batch off as it goes in.

Can we run both systems side by side for a while?

Yes, and we recommend it for at least one full cycle. You post in both, compare the closing reports, and only retire the old system once the numbers agree. It costs some duplicate effort and removes most of the cutover risk.
