Migration
Methodology

A structured, proven approach to Odoo migration — covering source code, database, and business processes with full transparency at every stage.

Migration Overview

Source Code & Database

Odoo Migration includes two main parts: Source Code migration and Database migration. Each follows a distinct path depending on your edition and hosting.

code

Source Code Migration

check_circle Remove unused parts (custom models with few records) — discuss with users, prioritize.
check_circle Refactor outdated libraries and protocols (e.g. FTP → SFTP), consider newer OCA modules, increase test coverage.
check_circle Use tools like odoo-module-migrator and our internal migration dashboard for tracking.

database

Database Migration

apartment Enterprise Edition: If using Odoo.sh, upgrade via UI; otherwise use the Odoo Upgrade Platform CLI.

groups Community Edition: Migrate using OpenUpgrade.

Overall Process

Parallel Execution & User Validation

Our process maximizes efficiency by running database and codebase migration in parallel, and keeps users involved through comparison environments.

Overall migration process — parallel execution and user validation

Start database migration in parallel with codebase migration — to deliver a first Odoo-only migrated database early.

Provide users with environments to compare old and new versions, based on the same data checkpoints (e.g. V12 20250825 vs V18 20250825).

Plan budget for post go-live migration fixes — no migration is complete on day one.
