Classify products by the identity needed to manage them: style variants, ordinary quantities or individual units. Preserve size and colour mappings separately from serial histories. A trial import should let staff scan representative apparel and equipment, then reconcile opening stock and outstanding customer commitments without applying one tracking convention to every product family.
Understand the decision
The retailer’s export mixes clothing variants, accessories and individually tracked equipment. Some workshop notes refer to serials that do not appear in the sales file. Migration should reconnect the required records while documenting gaps, rather than generating convenient new identities that cannot be traced to the physical goods.
Work through the requirements
- Assign the reviewed tracking approach by family
- Map physical labels to source references
- Reconcile opening identities and customer commitments
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Product tracking map | Defines variant or individual-unit identity |
| Serial history bridge | Links relevant historical records |
| Opening stock evidence | Confirms physical quantities and labels |

Watch for this failure
A uniform import template can conceal different identity requirements. Do not sacrifice serial history to simplify apparel imports or overcomplicate ordinary accessories; validate each product family against the operational questions staff need to answer after launch.

This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
