Odoo Migration: Tools, Methods, Best Practices

Odoo Migration: Technical Context 

Each new Odoo release comes with significant architectural changes: data models and field structures are updated, module business logic is revised, and the behavior of ORM, API, and core framework components is modified. This directly impacts custom modules, integrations, performance, and system stability.

Therefore, Odoo migration is a managed engineering process aimed at preserving data integrity, maintaining customization compatibility, and controlling technical debt. Delayed or incorrect migration increases the risk of failures, complicates system maintenance, and limits the ability for further ERP development.

Risks and threats of delayed Odoo migration

Technical incompatibilities

Incompatibility with modern technologies - new versions of Python, PostgreSQL, and operating systems don't support outdated Odoo, complicating the transition to cloud platforms and modern infrastructure.

Loss of integrations - third-party services (payment systems, marketplaces, CRM) update their APIs, and outdated Odoo loses compatibility with critical integrations.

Snowball effect - skipping several versions exponentially increases migration complexity and cost. Migrating from Odoo 13 to 17 will be several times more expensive than sequential updates.

Loss of competitiveness

Lack of new functionality - each version brings UX/UI improvements, automation, and new modules. Competitors on newer versions work more efficiently and have lower operational costs.

Performance degradation - outdated systems process large data volumes more slowly, reducing employee productivity.

Personnel and financial risks

Shortage of specialists - developers focus on supported versions, so maintaining an outdated system costs more or becomes unavailable.

Rising costs - supporting old infrastructure requires additional resources, and resolving critical errors without official patches leads to downtime and losses.

Security and compliance

Critical vulnerabilities without patches - after support ends, the version no longer receives security updates, becoming an easy target for cybercriminals. This threatens leaks of confidential customer data, financial information, and corporate secrets.

Regulatory violations - outdated Odoo may not comply with updated GDPR, PCI DSS standards, or local tax legislation, risking fines and legal consequences.

Therefore, timely migration is not a technical whim, but a strategic necessity for business security, competitiveness, and IT infrastructure cost control.

This article aims to provide a practical overview of tools, methods, and proven practices for Odoo migration. We will examine various transition scenarios - from using the official Odoo Upgrade Platform to manual migration with OpenUpgrade, analyze typical challenges, and share recommendations to help minimize risks and downtime during the transition to a new version of your ERP system.

Types of Odoo Migration

Odoo migration is not a monolithic process, but a complex of multi-level tasks, each requiring a specific approach. Understanding migration types helps properly assess the scope of work, choose tools, and form a realistic transition plan.

Data Migration

This is the most minimalist scenario, where only current balances and directories are transferred to the new version - product nomenclature, counterparties, warehouse balances, current debts, active price lists. All transaction history (past sales, purchases, entries) remains in the old system for archival access.

When used:

• Old database is overloaded with outdated data (years of history)
• Business processes have significantly changed, and old history has lost relevance
• Need a "clean start" on the new version without technical debt

Advantages: Speed of execution, minimal risks of data conflicts, ability to "clean" the database from past errors.

Disadvantages: Loss of historical analytics, need for parallel access to the old system for reporting.

Full Database Migration

This is a comprehensive transfer of the entire database while preserving complete history - all transactions, documents, attachments, correspondence. Complete audit trail and the ability to analyze trends over a multi-year period are preserved.

When used:

• Regulatory requirements for history retention (tax audits, financial audit)
• Business relies on long-term analytics (demand forecasting, customer lifetime value)
• Need to restore document chains (from order to payment)

Advantages: Preservation of full context, reporting continuity, no gap in history.

Disadvantages: Process duration, increased complexity due to the need to transform outdated data structures, risk of transferring "garbage" from the old database.

Code Migration

This is the adaptation of custom modules, integrations, and extensions to the API and architecture of the new version. Even if data migrates automatically, custom code requires manual refactoring due to changes in ORM, model structure, JavaScript framework (transition from jQuery to Owl), access rights system.

Typical tasks:

• Updating module manifests (version, dependencies)
• Replacing deprecated API methods with new ones (fields.Char instead of osv.fields.char)
• Refactoring JS components to new architecture (Owl widgets instead of legacy widgets)
• Adapting XML views to new capabilities (dynamic attributes, improved kanban/list views)
• Checking compatibility of third-party dependencies (Python libraries, integration APIs)

When critical:

• You have significant business logic customizations
• Third-party modules from OCA or private repositories are used
• There are integrations with external systems through custom connectors

Advantages: Ability to optimize and modernize code, eliminate technical debt.

Disadvantages: Requires qualified Odoo developers, can be the most expensive part of migration.

In practice, most migration projects combine all three types: they migrate the database (fully or partially), adapt custom code, and often perform data "hygiene" - remove outdated records, normalize directories, fix accumulated errors. The right combination of approaches depends on business specifics, budget, and company strategic goals.

 

Key Migration Methods and Tools

Choosing the right migration tool is a balance between cost, process control, and the technical complexity of your system. Let's examine four main approaches, each with its own application niche.

1. Odoo Upgrade Service: Official Solution for Enterprise

Odoo Upgrade Service is a cloud service from Odoo S.A., available through the database manager on odoo.com. You upload a database dump, specify the target version, and the system automatically performs the migration with detailed operation logs.

Advantages:

• Official support and guaranteed compatibility of standard modules
• Automatic handling of most data structure changes
• Speed: migration of a medium-sized database (up to 10 GB) — several hours
• Ideal for Enterprise clients with active subscription (included in cost)

Limitations:

• Works only with standard Odoo Enterprise modules
• Custom modules require separate adaptation
• Officially unavailable for Community Edition
• Limited control over the transformation process

When to use: You have minimal customizations, active Enterprise subscription, need fast and reliable migration of standard configuration.

2. OpenUpgrade: Open-Source Standard for Community

OpenUpgrade is the flagship project of the Odoo Community Association (OCA), providing migration scripts between versions for Community Edition. It's a set of Python modules that analyze changes in each version and perform necessary database transformations.

Advantages:

• Completely free and open-source
• Supports migration of popular OCA modules
• Detailed documentation of changes in each version
• Active community and contribution opportunities
• Full control over the migration process

Operational features:

• Installed as a set of modules on an intermediate Odoo version
• Requires technical expertise (command line, PostgreSQL)
• Ability to write custom migration scripts for custom modules
• Step-by-step migration through intermediate versions (13→14→15→16)

When to use: Community Edition, availability of qualified developers, need for flexibility and control, budget constraints.

3. Custom Scripts (ETL): Full Control for Complex Scenarios

For unique or extremely customized systems, the best option may be custom migration scripts in Python using the ETL approach (Extract, Transform, Load).

Toolkit:

• XML-RPC / JSON-RPC API — programmatic access to Odoo for reading and writing data
• psycopg2 — direct work with PostgreSQL for complex transformations
• Pandas / SQLAlchemy — processing large data volumes
• Odoo ORM — using native models for data validation

Application scenarios:

• Migration from heavily modified legacy version
• Merging multiple Odoo databases into one
• Migration from other ERP systems (SAP, 1C, Microsoft Dynamics)
• Complex data transformation logic (re-categorization, duplicate merging)
• Need for data validation and cleaning during migration

Advantages: Absolute control, ability to solve non-standard tasks, parallel data optimization.

Disadvantages: Most expensive option in development time, requires deep expertise, risk of errors in custom code.

4. Import/Export Tools: Simplicity for Basic Scenarios

Odoo has built-in export capabilities to CSV/XLSX and import with validation. This method is suitable for migrating individual entities or small databases.

When appropriate to use:

• Migration of only directories and balances (without history)
• Database is small (up to 10,000 records per table)
• Minimal relationships between entities
• Need a quick proof-of-concept of new version
• Staff training before full migration

Process:

1. Export data from old version through UI (List View → Export)
2. Transform CSV/XLSX (change field names, date formats, relationships)
3. Import into new version through UI (List View → Import) with field mapping

Advantages: No technical skills required, visual control, ability for phased testing.

Limitations:

• Doesn't preserve change history, attachments, logs
• Problematic with Many2many and complex relationships
• ID sequences are lost (important for integrations)
• Impractical for databases with millions of records

 ​Migration Tools: Comparison​

Criterion	Odoo Upgrade	OpenUpgrade	Custom Scripts	CSV Import
Cost	Included in Enterprise	Free	High (development)	Free
Complexity	Low	Medium	High	Low
Custom modules	Separate adaptation needed	Scripts required	Full support	Not supported
Control	Limited	High	Maximum	Medium
Speed	Fast	Medium	Slow	Fast (small databases)
Data history	Full	Full	Full	Partial
Best for	Standard Enterprise configs	Community Edition	Unique systems	Small databases
Technical expertise	Minimal	PostgreSQL, Python	Deep Odoo knowledge	Basic user skills

Recommendation: Most projects use a hybrid approach - Odoo Upgrade or OpenUpgrade for the foundation, custom scripts for specific transformations, and CSV import for directories during the testing phase.

Migration Process Stages (Step-by-Step)

A successful Odoo migration is not a one-time technical act, but a structured process that requires careful planning and phased execution. Let's examine six key stages that minimize risks and ensure a smooth transition to the new version.

1. Current System Audit

The first step is a complete inventory of what exactly needs to be migrated. The audit helps assess the scope of work, identify potential problems, and form a realistic plan.

What we analyze:

Custom modules — compile a registry of all installed modules beyond the standard Odoo set:

• Internal custom modules (own development)
• Third-party modules from Odoo Apps Store
• Modules from OCA (Odoo Community Association)
• Legacy code written by former developers

For each module, assess: whether it's actively used, if there's an author/documentation, how critical it is for business, whether an equivalent exists in the new version.

Data quality and volume:

• Database size (GB) and number of records in key tables
• Presence of duplicates (counterparties, products)
• Outdated records (inactive clients, deleted products remaining in database)
• Relationship consistency (whether there are "orphans" — records referencing deleted objects)
• Attachments and files — volume and relevance

Integrations:

• List of external systems (e-commerce, CRM, delivery services, banks)
• Integration methods (API, file exchange, EDI)
• Synchronization frequency and data criticality

Infrastructure:

• Versions of Python, PostgreSQL, operating system
• Servers (on-premise, VPS, cloud) and their specifications
• Availability of backups and backup policy

Stage result: Detailed report with complexity assessment, list of modules for adaptation, data volume for cleaning, and preliminary estimate of migration timelines.

2. Environment Preparation (Staging)

Never perform migration directly on a production system. Creating an isolated test environment is a mandatory condition for safe migration.

What we create:

Full production database copy:

bash

pg_dump odoo_production > odoo_staging_backup.sql
createdb odoo_staging
psql odoo_staging < odoo_staging_backup.sql

Separate new Odoo version environment:

• Install target Odoo version on a separate server or virtual machine
• Configure all dependencies (Python packages, system libraries)
• Configure odoo.conf with reference to staging database

Isolation from external systems:

• Disable all integrations so test database doesn't send real orders, payments, messages
• Change email settings (catchall or test SMTP)
• Block access to production API keys

Team access:

• Configure separate URL (staging.company.com)
• Grant access to testers and key users
• Prepare documentation for UAT

Stage result: Fully functional staging environment, identical to production, but isolated from real business processes.

3. Data Cleaning: "Data Hygiene"

Migration is the perfect moment for a "general cleaning" of the database. Transferring "garbage" to a new version not only increases migration time but also creates additional points of potential conflicts.

What we delete or archive:

Outdated and test records:

• Document drafts older than 1-2 years
• Canceled orders and invoices
• Test customers with names "Test", "Demo", "AAA"
• Inactive users who haven't logged in for over a year

Duplicates:

• Counterparties with identical names/phones (use dedupe modules)
• Duplicate products with different SKUs
• Repeated categories and tags

Orphaned records:

• Records referencing deleted objects
• Sale Order Lines without parent order
• Stock Moves without associated picking
• Payments without invoice

Large attachments:

• Outdated backup files mistakenly uploaded as attachments
• Duplicate product images in different resolutions
• Logs and technical files

Incorrect data:

• Customers without country or with invalid emails
• Products without units of measure
• Entries with zero amounts
• Empty fields that became mandatory in the new version

How to perform:

• Use SQL queries to identify problems
• Create backups before each mass deletion operation
• Archive instead of deleting if in doubt (set active=False)
• Document all changes for rollback capability

Stage result: "Clean" database that is 20-40% smaller in size, with consistent relationships and quality data ready for migration.

4. Test Migration: First Pass

This is an iterative process where you perform migration on the staging environment, identify problems, fix them, and repeat. Typically, 2-5 iterations are needed.

Execution process:

Launch migration with chosen tool:

• For Odoo Upgrade: upload database through web interface
• For OpenUpgrade: sequential launch through intermediate versions
• For custom scripts: execute ETL process

Monitoring and logging:

• Record execution time of each stage
• Keep detailed logs (Odoo log level = debug)
• Track database errors (PostgreSQL logs)

Results analysis:

Critical errors (migration failed):

• Conflicts in database structure
• Missing dependencies for custom modules
• Incompatible constraints (unique, foreign key violations)

Non-critical warnings:

• Deprecated fields that no longer exist
• Modules that were not ported
• Changes in behavior of individual functions

Data integrity verification:

python

# Example checks
- Does the number of counterparties match before and after migration?
- Do all Sale Orders have correct statuses?
- Are links between Invoice and Payment preserved?
- Do computed fields and stored fields work?

Problem fixing:

• Adapt custom modules to new API
• Write migration scripts for specific transformations
• Update dependencies (Python packages, OCA modules)
• Fix conflicting SQL constraints

Stage result: Successfully migrated staging database without critical errors, ready for functional testing by users.

5. User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

Technical migration success doesn't guarantee the system will work correctly in real business scenarios. UAT is verification of key processes by actual users.

UAT preparation:

Forming the test team:

• Representatives from each department (sales, warehouse, finance, purchasing)
• Key users (power users) who know the processes best
• Technical support for documenting found issues

Creating test cases: Compile a checklist of critical business processes:

Sales:

• Creating quotation
• Order confirmation and invoice generation
• Payment receipt and invoice closure
• Manager commission verification

Warehouse:

• Receiving goods from supplier
• Internal transfer between warehouses
• Shipment to customer
• Inventory and balance adjustment

Purchasing:

• Creating request for quotation
• Placing supplier order
• Verifying payment and delivery terms

Finance:

• Bank statement and reconciliation
• Report generation (Balance Sheet, P&L)
• Tax reporting and export

Testing process:

• Each user performs their daily tasks in staging environment
• Record not only errors but also UX inconveniences
• Measure performance of critical operations
• Check printed forms and reports

Results documentation:

• Create issue tracker (Jira, Trello, Google Sheets)
• Classify: Blocker (prevents work), Critical (important), Minor (nice to fix)
• For each issue: description, reproduction steps, screenshot, responsible person

Iterative fixing:

• Resolve all Blockers before go-live
• Fix Critical issues when possible
• Minor issues can be postponed to post-launch patches

Stage result: Signed UAT protocol from business representatives confirming the system is ready for production launch.

6. Go-Live: Final Launch and Support

The most critical stage, requiring clear coordination and readiness for quick problem response.

Launch preparation:

Choosing go-live time:

• Least busy business period (weekends, end of month after closing, after peak season)
• Avoid Mondays (to have recovery time) and Fridays (so team is available)
• Consider time zones for international teams

Stakeholder communication:

• Notify all users about exact downtime time and duration
• Provide instructions on what to do during system unavailability
• Assign contact person for questions

Final backup:

bash

# Create last production backup
pg_dump odoo_production > final_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).sql
# Store on separate server/storage

Migration process:

Production system shutdown:

• Complete all active user sessions
• Stop Odoo service
• Set maintenance page on web server

Final migration execution:

• Launch the same process that was successful on staging
• Monitor progress and logs in real-time
• Team must be available for immediate response

Smoke testing (quick check): Before opening user access, perform basic checks:

• Does Odoo start without errors?
• Can users log in?
• Are basic data displayed (products, customers)?
• Do critical integrations work?
• Are PDF reports generated?

Opening access:

• Gradually grant access to user groups (first IT, then key users, then all)
• Monitor server load
• Be ready for quick rollback

Hyper-support period (1-2 weeks after launch):

Response team:

• Dedicated technical support in 24/7 mode (or business hours + on-call)
• Hotline for users
• Escalation matrix for critical issues

Monitoring:

• System performance (CPU, RAM, disk I/O)
• Errors in Odoo logs
• User feedback through surveys
• Business metrics (order quantity, processing speed)

Quick fixes:

• Hotfix for critical bugs
• Optimization of slow queries
• Additional user training

Lessons documentation:

• What went wrong and how was it resolved?
• Which processes need improvement?
• What should be considered in the next migration?

Successful go-live criteria:

• System is stable and available 99%+ of the time
• All critical business processes work
• Users completed adaptation to changes
• No unresolved blocker issues

Stage result: Working production system on new Odoo version, satisfied users, and documented experience for future migrations.

Recommendations for All Stages

Document everything: Every decision, every problem, every workaround. In a year, you'll forget the details, and they'll be needed for the next migration.

Automate where possible: Scripts for backup, migration scripts, smoke tests — everything that can be automated should be automated.

Have a Plan B: Rollback scenario must be practiced and available immediately after go-live. Know how much time is needed to return to the old version.

Don't rush: Better to conduct an additional testing iteration than face a critical problem in production.

Best Practices: Expert Advice

A successful Odoo migration is not only technical mastery but also strategic thinking. Here are key principles that will help avoid typical pitfalls and make the process as efficient as possible.

Minimize Customization: Less Code = Fewer Problems

One of the biggest mistakes when working with Odoo is excessive customization where standard functionality would suffice. Every line of custom code is technical debt that must be maintained with each migration.

Why standard is better:

Automatic compatibility — standard Odoo modules automatically migrate through Upgrade Service or OpenUpgrade. Custom modules require manual adaptation, which can cost thousands of dollars and weeks of work.

Community support — for standard functionality, there's a huge knowledge base: forums, documentation, video tutorials. For custom code, you're on your own.

Performance — the Odoo team optimizes standard modules with each version. Your custom code may become a bottleneck due to deprecated methods or unoptimized queries.

"Research first" strategy:

Before writing a custom module:

1. Check new capabilities of the target version — often what required customization in Odoo 14 is already standard in version 17
2. Explore Odoo Apps Store and OCA — perhaps the needed functionality is already implemented as a ready-made module
3. Configure instead of coding — many tasks are solved through Studio, Server Actions, Automated Actions without writing code
4. Adapt the process to the system, not vice versa — sometimes changing a business process is simpler and cheaper than developing complex customization

If customization is unavoidable:

• Make it modular and isolated
• Document every change
• Use inheritance instead of direct modification of standard code
• Follow Odoo coding guidelines to simplify future migration

Regular Updates: Evolution Instead of Revolution

The most painful migrations are those where a company "skips" 4-5 versions and tries to jump from Odoo 11 directly to Odoo 17. It's like trying to jump across a chasm in two leaps.

Complexity mathematics:

Migration complexity grows non-linearly with the number of skipped versions:

• Migration 16→17: ~2-4 weeks for an average system
• Migration 14→17: ~6-10 weeks (not 6-12, but significantly more due to cumulative changes)
• Migration 11→17: ~4-6 months (multiple breaking changes, rewritten modules)

Why this happens:

Cumulative breaking changes — API that was deprecated in version 13 is removed in version 15. If you migrate step-by-step, you have time to adapt. If you skip versions — the code simply breaks.

Loss of context — developers who wrote custom modules five years ago may no longer be with the company. Navigating through legacy code without documentation or original context is a challenge of its own.

Outdated dependencies — third-party modules may have reached their end-of-life (EOL), forcing you to search for alternatives or rewrite them from scratch.

Recommended Strategy:

Upgrade every 12–18 months — this allows you to:

• Stay within the range of officially supported versions.
• Distribute migration costs evenly over time.
• Regularly receive new features and performance improvements.
• Keep the team’s expertise up to date.

Plan your migration in advance — as soon as your version is no longer the "latest supported," start preparing for the next one.

Exception: If your current version fully meets business needs, remains stable, and is secure, you can stay on it longer. However, keep the approaching end-of-support (EOL) date in mind.

Backups: The Golden "3-2-1" Rule

"Backup before you start" — this is not advice, it's an axiom of migration. But simply making a backup is not enough — you need to do it right.

The 3-2-1 Rule:

• 3 data copies — production database + 2 backups
• 2 different media — for example, local disk + cloud storage
• 1 off-site copy — protection from physical server destruction (fire, flood)

What to backup:

PostgreSQL database:

bash

pg_dump -Fc odoo_production > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).dump
# -Fc = custom format (compressed, faster recovery)

Filestore (attachments, images):

bash

tar -czf filestore_backup.tar.gz ~/.local/share/Odoo/filestore/odoo_production/

Configuration files:

• odoo.conf
• nginx/apache configurations
• systemd unit files
• SSL certificates

Custom modules and addons:

bash

tar -czf custom_addons_backup.tar.gz /opt/odoo/custom-addons/

Backup verification:

• NEVER trust an unverified backup
• Periodically test recovery on a separate server
• Time the recovery process (critical for RTO - Recovery Time Objective)
• Verify data integrity after recovery

Backup strategy during migration:

Before starting:

• Full production system backup
• Export critical directories to CSV (insurance)

After each staging iteration:

• Snapshot of state after fixes
• Allows quick return to "last working version"

Before go-live:

• Final production backup
• Keep for minimum 30 days after successful migration

Automation tools:

• Odoo Auto Backup module (OCA)
• Cron scripts for daily backups
• Barman for PostgreSQL (PITR - Point-In-Time Recovery)
• AWS RDS automatic snapshots
• Google Cloud SQL automated backups

Documentation: Knowledge That Doesn't Disappear

Migration changes not only the technology but also users' work processes. Without proper documentation, the team will be flooded with repetitive questions, and users will be frustrated.

What to document:

Technical documentation (for IT):

Architectural changes:

• Which modules were removed/replaced
• Changes in database structure
• New dependencies and requirements
• Migration scripts and their purpose

Custom modules list:

• What was ported, what was rewritten from scratch
• Which workarounds were applied
• Known issues and their temporary solutions

Rollback plan:

• Step-by-step instructions for returning to old version
• Time required for rollback
• Contact information for responsible persons

User documentation:

Release Notes for business:

• What's new: What features appeared (with screenshots)
• What changed: Which processes work differently
• What's gone: Which features are no longer available and how to replace them

Procedures for typical tasks:

• "How to create an order in the new version" (if UI changed)
• "How to find a report that was previously in a different menu"
• "What to do if..." — FAQ based on UAT

Video instructions:

• Short screencasts (2-5 min) for visual learners
• Webinars for more complex changes

Change log:

• Chronology of all changes in business processes
• Who made decisions and why (context for the future)

Documentation formats:

Wiki or Confluence - for living documentation that's constantly updated

PDF guides - for unchanging instructions (rollback plan, architecture)

Video - for processes where it's important to show click sequence

Code comments - for migration scripts and custom fixes

Where to store:

• Company's internal knowledge base
• Google Drive / SharePoint with proper access rights
• README.md in custom modules repository
• Odoo Notes/Documents for user access

Golden rule: If a solution was complex or non-obvious, it must be documented. In a year, you won't remember the details, and you'll have to reinvent the wheel.

Conclusions

Odoo migration is far more than a technical software update. It's a strategic opportunity to rethink and optimize business processes, eliminate accumulated technical debt, and elevate your management system to a new level of efficiency.

Migration as Business Process Reengineering

Each Odoo version brings new capabilities that allow doing differently what previously required customizations or workarounds. Migration is the ideal moment for:

Process revision:

• Which processes are actually used, and which have become rudimentary?
• Can a complex custom module be replaced with a standard function in the new version?
• Which bottlenecks can be eliminated thanks to new automation capabilities?

Workflow optimization:

• The new version can automate what was previously done manually
• Improved UX allows reducing the number of clicks and task completion time
• Modern reports and dashboards provide better visibility for decision-making

Legacy cleanup:

• Remove what "was once needed, but now it's unclear why"
• Consolidate duplicate processes
• Standardize approaches across different departments/franchises

Increasing ERP ROI:

• Investment in migration pays off through higher productivity
• Fewer errors thanks to better UX and validations
• Faster onboarding of new employees on an intuitive interface

Don't view migration as a forced necessity — it's an investment in the future and a chance to make the system what you would have wanted it to be from the very beginning.
