  1. Define the cut-off date, normally the day before Odoo goes live.
  2. Map the chart of accounts, partners, taxes, and currencies from the previous system.
  3. Separate balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet accounts; do not mix them in one journal entry.
  4. Prepare separate balanced files for open receivables, payables, banks, and inventory, using dedicated opening counterpart accounts.
  5. Include original document numbers and dates in open-item descriptions.

The import is available in general Settings under Accounting > Accounting Firms Import. Run it in a test environment first, then compare the trial balance, partner ledgers, banks, VAT, and stock value with approved reports from the previous system.
