Key Features

Visual column-to-field mapper for ANY Odoo model — reads live ir.model.fields metadata so dropdowns always match your real schema, including custom/Studio models and computed fields
Saved, reusable import templates stored as first-class Odoo records — no re-mapping the same supplier or HR file every month
Configurable dedupe engine: skip, update-in-place, or flag duplicates matched on any key or composite (email, internal reference, VAT, external ID)
Pre-import validation pass — required-field checks, type coercion, selection-value matching and date-format normalization before any row is committed
Transactional imports with full rollback — a failed batch leaves your database untouched, never half-populated
Automatic many2one / many2many resolution by display name, Odoo external ID (xmlid), or a nominated lookup field, with unresolved links reported as fixable errors
Scheduled recurring imports via ir.cron — ingest from a watched folder, attachment inbox, URL or SFTP endpoint on your chosen cadence, fully unattended
One-click branded Excel export profiles (logo, headers, fixed column order) and clean CSV, generated from any filtered list view or saved domain
Downloadable per-run import logs and error reports with exact row numbers and reasons, so users self-correct without an admin
Field-transformation rules on import — trim, upper/lower, split full names, concatenate, map source values to Odoo selection keys, and set static defaults
XML-RPC / JSON-RPC connectivity that routes external-system pushes through the SAME validated, dedupe-aware pipeline as file imports
Batch/chunked processing for large files (tens of thousands of rows) with progress feedback, avoiding timeouts on big migrations
Per-template security via ir.model.access.csv and record rules — restrict who can run, edit or schedule each mapping by Odoo group
Dry-run / preview mode — see exactly what would be created, updated or skipped, with a diff, before writing to the database
Compatible with Odoo Community and Enterprise on versions 17, 18 and 19

About this Product

Odoo's native importer is fine for a one-off contact list — but it breaks down the moment you need repeatable, validated, high-volume data movement. It re-derives column mappings every time, silently commits partial imports on error, resolves many2one links only by exact display name, and offers no way to schedule a nightly sync from an external system. Teams migrating from legacy ERPs, onboarding acquired companies, or syncing product and pricing files from suppliers end up hand-cleaning spreadsheets and re-running failed imports for days.

The Advanced Import / Export & Data Migration Toolkit is a build-to-order Odoo module that ECOSIRE designs, develops, installs and supports specifically for your models, data shapes and source systems. It is NOT an instant apps.odoo.com download — it is a custom-fitted engine we ship to your Odoo Community or Enterprise instance on version 17, 18 or 19.

At its core is a visual column-to-field mapper that works against ANY model in your database — standard (res.partner, product.template, account.move, sale.order.line) or custom — reading live field metadata from ir.model.fields so the dropdowns always match your actual schema, including studio and custom modules. You save each mapping as a reusable import template (stored as a proper Odoo model with ir.model.access.csv permissions and optional record rules), so a monthly supplier price file or a weekly HR roster imports the same way every time, by any authorized user, with zero re-mapping.

Before a single row is written, the toolkit runs a pre-import validation pass: required-field checks, type coercion, selection-value matching, date-format normalization, and configurable dedupe rules (skip, update, or flag duplicates by any key you choose — email, internal reference, VAT, or a composite). Relational fields resolve automatically by display name, external ID (the __export__ xmlid pattern), or a lookup field you nominate, and unresolved links are reported as fixable errors rather than crashing the run. Every import is transactional and logged, so a failed batch rolls back cleanly instead of leaving your database half-populated — and you get a downloadable error report with the exact row and reason.

For recurring flows, mappings can be attached to a scheduled action (ir.cron) that ingests files from a watched directory, an attachment inbox, or a URL/SFTP endpoint on the cadence you set — turning a manual weekly chore into an unattended nightly sync. On the way out, one-click export profiles produce branded Excel (with your logo, headers, and column order) or clean CSV from any filtered list view or saved domain, ready for reporting, audits, or handoff to another system. Where a live connection is more appropriate than files, we wire the same mappings to Odoo's XML-RPC / JSON-RPC endpoints so external apps push and pull through the exact same validated pipeline.

Because ECOSIRE builds it to your spec, the module fits your data model, your naming, your validation rules and your security groups from day one — and we hand over clean, commented source (models/ORM with @api.depends computes where derived values are needed, XML/OWL views, QWeb export report templates, security CSV and record rules) that your team fully owns.

What you get

  • Fully custom Odoo module (technical package with __manifest__.py) built to your models and data sources, delivered as clean, commented source you own outright
  • Installation and configuration on your Odoo 17/18/19 instance (Community or Enterprise), including staging validation before production go-live
  • Pre-built import templates for your priority datasets (e.g. contacts, products, pricing, HR, opening balances) mapped and tested against sample files
  • Security configuration — ir.model.access.csv access rules and record rules scoping who can run, edit and schedule each import template
  • Scheduled-sync setup (ir.cron jobs) wired to your chosen source folders, inboxes or SFTP/URL endpoints where recurring imports are required
  • Branded QWeb/Excel export profiles matching your logo, headers and column layout
  • Written admin & user documentation plus a live training session for your team on building mappings, running imports and reading error reports
  • A defined post-launch support & bug-fix window, with a clear path for compatibility updates across Odoo versions

Who this is for

ERP Migration Lead

Moving off a legacy ERP or spreadsheet stack into Odoo and needs to load contacts, products, opening balances and history reliably — with validation, dedupe and rollback — instead of hand-cleaning CSVs and re-running the native importer for days.

Operations / Data Manager

Owns recurring data flows — weekly supplier price files, monthly HR rosters, inventory counts — and wants saved templates plus unattended scheduled imports so a repeatable chore stops eating a day every cycle and stops introducing duplicates.

Odoo Administrator / Integrator

Responsible for data integrity across a multi-company or multi-source Odoo deployment and needs permission-scoped, auditable import pipelines and clean branded exports that route external-system data through one validated, XML-RPC-capable channel.

Frequently Asked Questions about Advanced Import / Export & Data Migration Toolkit

How long until the module is delivered, and is this an instant download?

This is a build-to-order module, not an instant apps.odoo.com download. ECOSIRE designs, develops, installs and tests it against your specific models and data sources. Typical delivery is one working week from requirements sign-off, depending on how many datasets, validation rules and scheduled/SFTP sources are in scope. We confirm a firm timeline after the discovery call and validate on staging before production go-live.

What support and updates do I get after delivery?

Every build includes a defined post-launch support and bug-fix window during which we resolve any defects in the delivered scope. We also provide a clear path for compatibility updates as you move across Odoo 17, 18 and 19, and offer ongoing support/enhancement plans if you want new datasets, mappings or sources added later. You receive clean, commented source and full documentation, so your own team can maintain it too.

Which Odoo versions and editions does it support?

The toolkit is built for Odoo 17, 18 and 19, on both Community and Enterprise. Because we tailor the module to your instance, we target your exact running version and confirm edition-specific behavior (for example, Enterprise-only models) during discovery. It installs like any standard technical module via __manifest__.py.

Can it import into custom or Studio-built models and computed fields?

Yes. The mapper reads live field metadata from ir.model.fields at runtime, so any model in your database — standard, custom, or Studio-generated — appears with its real fields. Computed/stored fields, selection values and relational fields are all handled, and many2one links resolve by display name, Odoo external ID (xmlid), or a lookup field you nominate.

What happens if an import file has errors or duplicates?

Nothing gets half-written. Each run first executes a validation and dedupe pass, and you can preview the outcome in dry-run mode before committing. Imports are transactional — if a batch fails, it rolls back cleanly rather than leaving partial data. You get a downloadable error report with the exact row number and reason, and your dedupe policy (skip, update, or flag) decides how duplicates are handled by any key you define.

Can it run automatically instead of manual uploads?

Yes. Any saved import template can be attached to an Odoo scheduled action (ir.cron) that ingests files from a watched directory, an attachment inbox, or a URL/SFTP endpoint on the cadence you choose — turning a manual weekly upload into an unattended nightly sync. For live system-to-system flows, we can also route the same validated pipeline through Odoo's XML-RPC / JSON-RPC API.

How is this different from Odoo's built-in Import feature?

Native import is a per-user, per-file tool: it re-derives mappings each time, resolves relations only by exact name, commits partial data on error, and has no scheduling or dedupe. This toolkit adds saved reusable templates, configurable validation and dedupe, transactional rollback, external-ID/lookup relation resolution, dry-run preview, permission-scoped access, scheduled/SFTP recurring imports, and branded export profiles — all fitted to your models.
