Odoo Migration Services in Chennai after Odoo 20

Odoo 20 was released on 24 September 2026, and with that Odoo 17 left the support window, which now covers 18, 19 and 20. Several Chennai firms we work with, from Guindy to the OMR corridor, set up Odoo a few years ago and have stayed on 16 or 17 since. Symake starts with an audit of that database, its custom modules and any App Store add-ons, then recommends a target and explains the effort each choice involves. Your accounts team checks every report on an upgraded copy, and nothing goes live until the trial balance and ageing match the old figures. Staff who prefer Tamil get their walkthroughs in Tamil.

What an upgrade in Chennai includes

The pieces that move an older database onto a current release

Release gap check

Release gap check

We measure how far your version is from the target and what has changed in accounting, stock and sales screens.

Add-on survey

Why Chennai teams should not wait on Odoo 17

Odoo 17 no longer receives fixes from Odoo now that 20 is out. The longer a database waits, the bigger the jump, and every release skipped adds more changes to absorb at once. Moving to 19 or 20 now keeps the gap manageable. Enterprise customers can use Odoo's upgrade service for standard data, and Symake ports the custom part, so the effort stays focused on what is unique to your business.

  • Smaller jump when you move sooner
  • Odoo upgrade service for standard Enterprise data
  • Custom part ported and tested by Symake
  • Target of 19 or 20 to stay in the window

Moving Chennai businesses onto current Odoo

Chennai businesses we have moved include healthcare groups, FMCG firms, hotels, education trusts, real estate companies, retail chains, manufacturing units and distribution and logistics operators. Tamil Nadu GST carries over in full, with e-way bills prompted above Rs 1 lakh within the state and Rs 50,000 for inter-state trips. E-invoicing continues without a gap for entities above Rs 5 crore. We train in Tamil, and staff can ask questions in whichever language they prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are a Guindy firm on Odoo 16. Is that an upgrade or a new project?

On 16 or older, we usually treat it as a full project. The changes since then are large enough that a fresh configuration with selected data is cleaner than forcing every old setting forward.

Can our Chennai accounts team test before we commit to a date?

Yes, that is the core of the method. Your team works on an upgraded copy, repeats real entries and compares reports with the old system. We fix differences and recheck until they sign off.

Do Tamil-speaking staff get help with the changed screens?

Yes. Our consultants walk users through the changed screens in Tamil on the upgraded copy, so they know where things have moved before the live date.

What is Odoo's upgrade service and who gets it?

Odoo offers an upgrade service to Enterprise customers that converts the standard part of the database. It does not cover custom modules, which we port separately and test with your users.

Should we jump straight to Odoo 20 or stop at 19?

It depends on your add-ons and custom code. If everything you need exists for 20, going there gives the longest time before the next move. If a key module is only ready for 19, that can be the safer target.

What gets compared before and after the upgrade?

We compare trial balance, receivables ageing, payables, stock value and GST summaries. Each report is produced from both databases for the same date and reviewed by your accounts team.

How do you decide which customizations to drop?

We list each custom module with what it does and who uses it. Where standard Odoo now does the same job, we suggest retiring it. You make the final call, and the decision is recorded in the scope.

What if the live upgrade fails a check?

The rollback plan takes over. Your old database remains the live system, we investigate on a copy and agree a new date once the issue is fixed and retested.
