# Legacy to ERPNext Migration ## 1. Legacy System Source database: **gestionclient** (MariaDB on 10.100.80.100). Monthly recurring revenue ~$742K across fibre, wireless, TV, and telephony. | Table | Records | Description | |---|---|---| | account | 15,303 | Customers (6,510 active, 8,594 terminated) | | delivery | 17,114 | Installation addresses with GPS | | service | 66,879 | Subscriptions (39,624 active) | | product / product_cat | 833 / 34 | Catalogue items and categories | | invoice / invoice_item | 630K / 1.86M | Invoices and line items | | payment / payment_item | 541K / 685K | Payments and allocations | | compta_comptes / ecritures | 48 / 1.2M | Chart of accounts and journal entries | | ticket / ticket_msg | 243K / 784K | Support tickets and messages (8K with base64 images) | | device / fibre | 10,377 / 16,057 | Network equipment and fibre connections | | staff / bon_travail | 155 / 14,472 | Employees and work orders | ## 2. Legacy to ERPNext Mapping | Legacy Table | ERPNext DocType | Records | Status | |---|---|---|---| | account | Customer + Contact + Address | 6,667 + 6,600 + 6,700 | Migrated | | delivery + fibre | Service Location | 17,114 | Migrated | | product | Item (type=Service) | 833 | Migrated | | product_cat | Item Group | 34 | Migrated | | service (active) | Subscription | 21,876 | Migrated (scheduler paused) | | invoice + invoice_item | Sales Invoice | 630K | Opening balance only | | payment + payment_item | Payment Entry | 99K imported | Migrated (recent) | | compta_comptes | Account (Chart) | 48 | Mapped to ERPNext CoA | | compta_journal_ecriture | Journal Entry | 1.2M | Opening balance only | | ticket + ticket_msg | Issue + Communication | 243K + 784K | Migrated | | device | Service Equipment | 10,377 | Migrated | | staff | Employee / User | 45 users | Migrated | | bon_travail | Dispatch Job | 14,472 | Pending | | tax | Sales Taxes Template | 4 | Migrated (TPS 5% + TVQ 9.975%) | ## 3. Key Architecture Differences - **Naming**: Legacy uses auto-increment IDs; ERPNext uses naming series (CUST-.YYYY.-, LOC-.#####) - **Customer/Address**: Legacy stores everything in `account`; ERPNext separates Customer, Address, and Contact as linked doctypes - **Subscriptions**: Legacy `service` is a static row; ERPNext `Subscription` auto-generates Sales Invoices each billing cycle - **Custom Pricing**: Legacy `hijack_price` override on service; ERPNext uses `additional_discount` on Subscription or Pricing Rules - **Taxes**: Legacy calculates TPS/TVQ in PHP code; ERPNext applies Sales Taxes Templates automatically - **Accounting**: Legacy writes journal entries via PHP; ERPNext auto-creates GL Entries from submitted Sales Invoices - **Permissions**: Legacy uses `staff.rights` (PHP serialized); ERPNext uses Role-based DocType permissions - **Files**: Legacy stores images as base64 in mediumtext columns; ERPNext uses File doctype with `/files/` directory - **Dates**: Legacy uses Unix timestamps (bigint); ERPNext uses ISO dates (YYYY-MM-DD) - **RADIUS**: Legacy stores credentials on `service`; ERPNext uses custom fields on `Subscription` ## 4. Migration Phases 1. **Foundation** -- Done (2026-03-28) - 34 Item Groups, 833 Items with ISP custom fields (speeds, quotas, fibre profiles) - Tax Templates: TPS 5% + TVQ 9.975% - 15 custom fields created across Item, Customer, and Subscription doctypes 2. **Customers & Addresses** -- Done (2026-03-28) - 6,667 Customers, ~6,600 Contacts, ~6,700 Addresses via direct PostgreSQL (~30s) - Customer-Contact-Address links established with GPS coordinates 3. **Subscriptions & Items** -- Done (2026-03-28) - 92 Subscription Plans created from active products - 21,876 Subscriptions imported with RADIUS data - **Scheduler PAUSED** to prevent automatic invoice generation 4. **Invoices & Payments** -- Done (2026-03-29) - Outstanding invoice analysis and AR reconciliation - 99,000 payments imported with invoice references and mode mapping 5. **Opening Balances** -- Done (2026-03-29) - Customer balance reconciliation (invoices minus payments) - Opening balance journal entries created 6. **Tickets** -- Done (2026-03-29, 242K) - 242,618 tickets migrated as Issues with parent/child hierarchy - 784,290 ticket messages imported as Communications - Issue types mapped from 21 legacy departments - Staff assignment mapped from legacy IDs to ERPNext User emails 7. **Staff & Memos** -- Done (2026-03-29) - 45 ERPNext Users created from legacy staff table - 29,000 customer memos imported as Comments with original creation dates ## 5. Field Gap Analysis ~73 custom fields needed across 5 doctypes to reach zero data loss. | DocType | Gaps | Key Missing Areas | |---|---|---| | Customer | ~23 | PPA banking (8 fields), Stripe (2), termination reason/date (4), VIP/flags (3), portal login (2), other (4) | | Subscription | ~10 | Custom pricing flag/desc (3), suspension/active-until dates (3), quotas (2), static IP (1), other (1) | | Service Equipment | ~17 | Management access (6: URL, port, protocol for GUI+CLI), provisioning from GenieACS (8: WiFi, VoIP, GPON/CWMP serials), ACS integration (4) | | Service Location | ~18 | Fibre infrastructure (10: ONT serial, OLT IP/name, ONT ID, distance, spans), individual VLANs (4), legacy service IDs (4) | | Dispatch Job | ~5 | Second technician + arrival/departure timestamps (5) | Already migrated fields per doctype: Customer ~18, Subscription ~14, Equipment ~10, Location ~9. ## 6. Execution Log - **2026-03-28**: Frappe Assistant Core v2.3.3 installed, legacy MariaDB access granted. 34 Item Groups + 833 Items imported. 15 custom fields created (Item 7, Customer 4, Subscription 3). 6,667 Customers + Contacts + Addresses via direct PG in ~30s. 92 Subscription Plans + 21,876 Subscriptions with RADIUS data. Scheduler paused. - **2026-03-29**: Opening balance + AR analysis. 242K tickets + 784K messages migrated as Issues/Communications. 45 Users created. 29K customer memos imported. 99K payments imported. - **2026-03-30**: Ops App V2 with ClientDetailPage, Dispatch module, Equipment page, OCR. Field Tech App (PWA with barcode scanner, offline support). - **2026-03-31**: Inline editing (InlineField component), client search with legacy ID + or_filters, SMS/Email notifications via n8n/Twilio/Mailjet, ticket reply via Communication docs, Authentik federation (auth.targo.ca to id.gigafibre.ca). ## 7. Data NOT Migrated - **Journal entries** (1.2M) -- opening balance only, no line-by-line import - **Invoices > 2 years** -- covered by opening balance - **Closed tickets** (241K) -- available in legacy read-only archive - **RADIUS consumption** (`conso_*`) -- operational data, not financial - **Phone call logs** (`phonecall_log_*`) -- historical records - **Temp/backup tables** (`tmp*`, `*_bk`, `*_archive`) - **Camping tables** (`camping_*`) -- confirm if still in use - **Password manager** (`passwords_manager*`) -- never migrate third-party credentials - **Work orders** (`bon_travail`, 14K) -- historical, Dispatch Job doctype ready for future import ## 8. Risks & Decisions **Risks**: - Incorrect balances after migration -- mitigated by before/after reconciliation reports - PPA payment disruption during cutover -- mitigated by parallel operation (legacy bills, ERPNext takes over gradually) - Missing subscriptions -- validation script compares active legacy services against ERPNext Subscriptions - Lost base64 images -- batch extraction scheduled before cutover - ERPNext performance with 630K invoices -- only 2 years imported, rest as opening balance - **Scheduler is PAUSED** -- reactivation would trigger billing for 21,876 subscriptions **Open Decisions**: - Invoice history depth: currently 2 years, rest as opening balance - PPA (AccesD Desjardins): ERPNext has no native AccesD support, middleware needed - Legacy ID retention: `legacy_*` fields on all doctypes for traceability - Customer portal: 659 portal profiles use unsalted MD5 passwords, force reset via email/SMS OTP required - RADIUS integration: webhook from Subscription to FreeRADIUS via n8n - Camping module: confirm if `camping_*` tables are still active
