Data Flow Steps

Secure Connectivity: Establish encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) to Dynamics NAV Web Services (OData/SOAP) and Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC APIs using secure credentials.

Trigger Mechanisms: Configure event-driven triggers (Odoo webhooks, NAV change data capture/polling) and scheduled synchronizations based on workflow needs.

Data Extraction: Extract relevant data from source system entities (e.g., Odoo `sale.order`, NAV `Sales Order`).

Intelligent Mapping & Transformation: Utilize a visual data mapper with AI assistance to transform source data schemas into target system schemas, applying business logic and data type conversions.

Data Validation: Implement pre-load validation rules to ensure data integrity and compliance with target system requirements (e.g., NAV numbering series, Odoo required fields).

Target System Ingestion: Ingest transformed and validated data into the target system using optimized API calls (e.g., Odoo `call_kw`, NAV OData POST/PATCH).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Log all transactions, manage exceptions with automated retries and dead-letter queues, and provide real-time monitoring dashboards.

Data Mapping

Core Entities & Intelligent Mapping between Dynamics NAV & Odoo ERP

The integration focuses on synchronizing key business entities, ensuring data consistency and integrity across both ERP systems. Our iPaaS provides intelligent mapping capabilities to bridge schema differences.

Customer / Vendor

The foundational contact entity, `res.partner` in Odoo, maps to `Customer` and `Vendor` in Dynamics NAV, representing businesses or individuals.

Dynamics NAV Fields

[field, No.],[description, Unique identifier] [field, Name],[description, Company/Contact Name] [field, Address],[description, Street address] [field, City],[description, City] [field, Post Code],[description, Postal code] [field, Country/Region Code],[description, Country code] [field, Phone No.],[description, Primary phone number] [field, E-Mail],[description, Primary email] [field, Currency Code],[description, Default currency] [field, Customer Posting Group],[description, Financial posting group (Customer)] [field, Vendor Posting Group],[description, Financial posting group (Vendor)]

Odoo ERP Fields

[field, name],[description, Company/Contact Name] [field, email],[description, Primary email] [field, phone],[description, Primary phone number] [field, street],[description, Street address] [field, city],[description, City] [field, zip],[description, Postal code] [field, country_id],[description, Country (Many2one link to res.country)] [field, is_company],[description, Boolean, true if company] [field, customer_rank],[description, Rank if customer (0=no, >0=customer)] [field, supplier_rank],[description, Rank if supplier (0=no, >0=supplier)] [field, vat],[description, VAT number]

Mapping Notes

Dynamics NAV separates Customers and Vendors, while Odoo uses `res.partner` with `customerrank` and `supplierrank` fields. Mapping requires conditional logic to set these ranks. 'No.' (NAV) is mapped to an external ID field in Odoo. Odoo's address structure (`street`, `city`, `zip`) maps directly to NAV's `Address` fields. Ensure consistent country code mapping. Odoo's `child_ids` for multiple contacts/addresses needs careful handling to map to NAV's flat structure or related entities.

E-commerce Order-to-Cash Automation

Streamline the entire order lifecycle from an external e-commerce platform through Odoo's sales and accounting to Dynamics NAV for fulfillment and detailed operational tracking, and back.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Order Capture: New order from e-commerce sent to iPaaS.
  2. 1 Odoo Sales Order & Customer: iPaaS creates/updates `res.partner` (Customer) and `sale.order` in Odoo.
  3. 2 Inventory & Invoice (Odoo): Odoo reserves inventory (`product.product` via `stock.quant`), generates `account.move` (Invoice).
  4. 3 NAV Sales Order & Invoice: iPaaS pushes relevant `Sales Order` and `Sales Invoice` data from Odoo to Dynamics NAV.
  5. 4 Fulfillment & Shipment (NAV): NAV processes order, creates `Shipment` (Sales Shipment Header/Lines), updates inventory (`Item Ledger Entry`).
  6. 5 Payment Reconciliation: Payment received in Odoo (`account.payment`) is synced to NAV's `Payment` (Cash Receipt Journal) for automated application.
  7. 6 Status Updates: Shipment status from NAV is synced back to Odoo and then to e-commerce.

Business Outcome

Faster order processing, real-time inventory accuracy, reduced manual invoice generation, improved customer satisfaction.

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/Customers Manage customer master data for synchronization with Odoo's `res.partner`.
GET, PATCH /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/Items Retrieve product information and update inventory levels, synchronizing with Odoo's `product.product` and `stock.quant`.
GET, POST, PATCH /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/SalesOrders Create new sales orders in NAV (from Odoo), retrieve order details, and update order statuses.
GET, POST, PATCH /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/Vendors Manage vendor master data for synchronization with Odoo's `res.partner`.
GET, POST, PATCH /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/PurchaseOrders Create purchase orders in NAV (e.g., from procurement systems/Odoo), track status.
GET, POST /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/SalesInvoices Generate sales invoices in NAV (from Odoo) for financial reporting and reconciliation.
POST /ODataV4/Company('CompanyName')/GenJournalLines Post general journal entries for financial transactions, including payment applications and manual adjustments.

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • ID Mapping: External IDs (e.g., NAV `No.`, Odoo `id`) are stored in custom fields in the counterpart system for cross-referencing.
  • Date/Time Conversion: Standardize date and time formats between systems (e.g., UTC to local time, different string formats).
  • Unit of Measure Conversion: Convert between different UOMs if necessary (e.g., 'EA' in NAV to 'Unit' in Odoo).
  • Address Formatting: Concatenate/split address fields to match target system structures.
  • Conditional Logic: Apply rules based on field values (e.g., if NAV Customer, set Odoo `customer_rank` = 1).
  • Lookup Tables: Map specific codes or values (e.g., `Country/Region Code` to `res.country` ID, `Gen. Prod. Posting Group` to Odoo account IDs).

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Data Type Mismatch: Numeric field in source maps to text in target.
  • Required Field Missing: Attempting to create a record without a mandatory field.
  • Duplicate Record: Trying to create a customer already existing (handled by deduplication logic).
  • Invalid Lookup Value: Referencing a `productid` or `partnerid` that does not exist in the target system.
  • API Rate Limit Exceeded: (More common for external SaaS, but can apply to Odoo/NAV under heavy load).
  • Network Connectivity Issues: Temporary interruption between iPaaS and ERPs.
  • Business Logic Violation: Attempting to update an order status to an invalid transition.
