Why is customisation a challenge during migrations?
Customization is an adaptation to Odoo that is not standard in the package. This can be necessary, for example, to meet specific business processes or requirements. When migrating to a new Odoo version, this customization must also be adapted or transferred.
This can be a challenge, as the new version may have different functionality or structure than the old version. In some cases, it may even be necessary to rebuild the customization from scratch.
How to minimise customisation during a migration?
There are a few things you can do to minimize customization during a migration:
- Critically review whether the customization is still needed. Is there new functionality in the new version that makes the customization redundant?
- Consider adapting your business processes to make customization redundant.
- Plan the migration well in advance. This gives you more time to evaluate and adapt the customization.
