Sage to Odoo Migration
Your history and your balances, intact.
Sage to Odoo in Qatar: the short answer
- What it is
- Migrate from Sage to Odoo in Qatar: master data, open balances and history moved, reconciled against the source and rehearsed on staging before a reversible cutover.
- Best suited to
- Businesses in Qatar leaving a system they have outgrown, who need open balances and history to come across intact.
- Typical timeline
- A focused single-app rollout for a small team goes live in three to six weeks. A multi-app deployment with data migration and integrations usually runs eight to sixteen weeks.
- What it costs
- Implementation is quoted as a fixed price in QAR after a free 30-minute discovery call, and depends on the number of apps, the state of your data and the integrations you need. Odoo bills its software licence separately, per user and per app.
- Local specifics
- No VAT in Qatar today, with the chart of accounts ready for the GCC framework VAT. 10% corporate income tax on the foreign-owned share of profits. Dhareeba returns filed with the General Tax Authority.

Sage to Odoo Migration in Qatar
Moving from Sage to Odoo is a well-trodden path, and Shyphan runs these migrations for businesses across Doha, Al Rayyan and Lusail. What moves: Nominal ledger, customers, suppliers, products, open transactions and the aged debtor and creditor positions.
Sage 50 and Sage 200 both export adequately. The care is needed in nominal code mapping and in carrying aged analysis across so collections do not reset.
The migration is reconciled before anyone signs off: trial balance, aged receivables and payables, stock valuation and record counts are agreed against Sage, and your finance lead signs the reconciliation. A rollback position is kept until the parallel run is complete.
What you get
Configured, localised and supported for Qatar by Shyphan.
Extract & Profile
We pull the source data early and profile it, so you know what is dirty in week one.
Cleansing List
A prioritised list of what only you can fix - duplicates, missing tax numbers, dead items.
Field Mapping
A written mapping from source field to Odoo field, agreed before anything is loaded.
Balance Reconciliation
Trial balance, AR and AP ageing and stock valuation reconciled to the source before sign-off.
Historical Transactions
As much history as genuinely earns its keep, with the rest archived and accessible.
Test Loads
Several rehearsal loads into staging so the production run is routine.
Parallel Run
Old and new running together for a period, with differences investigated, not ignored.

A documented way back if the cutover reveals something nobody expected.

Where this migration is weak - and what we do about it
Migration cannot improve data that was wrong in the source system, and the cleansing is work only your team can do. History beyond a couple of years rarely earns the cost of moving it.
How we handle it: We profile the source data in week one and give you a prioritised cleansing list while there is still time to act on it.

What compliance in Qatar means in practice
Qatar has not introduced VAT, so the tax work is corporate income tax on the foreign-owned share of profits, filed through Dhareeba, plus withholding tax on payments abroad. The workforce obligations - WPS and social insurance - are where most of the monthly effort actually goes.
| Obligation | What the rule is | What has to be configured |
|---|---|---|
| Value added tax | Qatar signed the GCC VAT framework but has not implemented VAT. Excise tax applies to tobacco, energy drinks, carbonated drinks and special purpose goods. | The system configured so VAT can be switched on without re-implementing: tax codes, tax-inclusive pricing and invoice layouts ready rather than retrofitted. |
| Corporate income tax and Dhareeba | 10 per cent on the foreign-owned share of profits. Registration, returns and payment all run through the Dhareeba portal, with returns due within four months of the financial year end. | Ownership split reflected in the reporting structure, and a chart of accounts that produces the Dhareeba return rather than feeding a separate schedule. |
| Withholding tax | 5 per cent withholding applies to certain payments to non-residents for services used in Qatar, payable by the 16th of the following month. | Withholding applied at the point of supplier payment, with the certificate produced automatically, so it is not discovered at year end. |
| Global minimum tax | A 15 per cent global minimum tax applies to in-scope multinational groups from 2025. | Group reporting that supports the computation without a parallel ledger. |
| Social insurance and WPS | Social insurance contributions apply to Qatari nationals through the General Retirement and Social Insurance Authority. All employees must be paid through the Wage Protection System within seven days of the due date. | Nationality-based contribution rules, and a WPS file generated from the payroll run and reconciled to the bank. |
| Establishment and licensing | Commercial registration, trade licence and, in the free zones, QFZA or QFC requirements, each renewed on its own cycle. | Licence and permit expiry tracked against the entity and the employees who depend on them. |

We configure the system to produce what these returns ask for, and we test it against your own transactions before go-live. We are not tax agents: your accountant or tax adviser signs the return, and rates and thresholds change, so treat this as the shape of the work rather than advice. Last reviewed 15 September 2026.
