We run an older Odoo version with some custom modules. What is the safe way to move to Odoo 19 without losing data?

An upgrade has two parts: migrating your database and porting your custom code. Both must be tested before the real switch.

Recommended steps

  • List every installed module and identify which ones are custom or from third parties.
  • For Enterprise, request an upgraded test database through the Odoo upgrade service; for Community, use OpenUpgrade scripts.
  • Port custom modules to the new version and remove customizations that the new standard now covers.
  • Run a full test cycle on the upgraded copy: invoices, stock moves, payroll, reports and integrations.
  • Fix issues, repeat the test upgrade with fresh data, then schedule the production upgrade during a quiet period.

Always keep a verified backup of the old database. Skipping versions is possible through the upgrade service, but the testing effort grows with the number of customizations.
