Odoo Migration: From Odoo Community to Odoo Enterprise
by Dharmesh Patel
Migrating a system from Odoo Community to Odoo Enterprise is not a straightforward process. Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise are two distinct versions of the Odoo ERP software, and there are differences in their features and functionalities.
Odoo Enterprise includes
additional features and modules that are not available in the Community
version. Migrating from Community to Enterprise typically involves the
following steps:
Step 1:
Obtain the Odoo Enterprise Version
First, you need to
acquire the Odoo Enterprise version, which requires a subscription that you can
purchase from Odoo S.A. or Odoo partners like Numla Ltd.
Step 2:
Backup Your Odoo
Community Database
Before making any
changes, it's essential to back up your existing Odoo Community database to ensure
you have a copy in case of any issues during the migration.
Step 3:
Install Odoo Enterprise Modules/Apps
- Add "Enterprise Addons" path to Odoo configuration (i.e. /opt/odoo/enterprise-addons directory to addons_path of odoo.conf). Restart the Odoo service.
- Install the “web_enterprise” module.
Now your database is converted to an enterprise database.
Step 4:
Evaluate and Install
Required Enterprise Modules
Identify the additional
modules provided by Odoo Enterprise that you want to use and install them. i.e
Accounting(account_accountant), Accounting Reports(account_reports), etc.
Step 5:
Analyse and Adapt
Customisations
Review any
customisations or modules you have implemented in the Odoo Community version.
Some of these may need to be adapted or replaced to work with the Enterprise
version.
Step 6:
Test and Verify
Thoroughly test the
migrated database and verify that all functionalities are working correctly in
the Odoo Enterprise version.
Note: It's important to note that the migration process might require technical expertise, and ensure that you comply with Odoo's licensing and usage terms when migrating to the Enterprise version.
