Tally to Odoo Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide for Indian Businesses (2026)

Tally is great accounting software, but it was never built to run a growing manufacturing or distribution business. When you need inventory control, MRP, multi-user workflows, CRM and real-time dashboards, it's time to move to a real ERP. Here's how a Tally → Odoo migration actually works.

What we migrate from Tally

• Masters: ledgers, stock items, groups, cost centres, GST details, customers and suppliers.
• Opening balances: trial balance, outstanding receivables/payables, stock on hand.
• Historical data: as much transaction history as you need for reporting (often the current + previous financial year).

The step-by-step plan

1. Discovery & mapping — map your Tally chart of accounts and processes to Odoo.
2. Chart of accounts & GST setup — configure Indian localization (GST, TDS, HSN, e-invoice).
3. Master data import — validated imports with reconciliation reports so nothing is lost.
4. Opening balances — posted as of your cutover date and reconciled to Tally to the rupee.
5. Parallel run (optional) — run both briefly to build confidence.
6. Go-live & training — cut over on a chosen date with hypercare support.

How long & how much?

A typical SME Tally → Odoo migration runs 3–6 weeks depending on data volume and customization. Because our base rate is $30/hr, it costs a fraction of what Indian SAP partners quote — with the same rigor and full GST compliance.
