Go Live: Are We Ready?

Posted Fri, 12/30/2011 - 09:13 by matherton

The clients I work with frequently ask me this question once we are deep into the implementation.  I never give a straight answer.  You see, I believe you should know if you are ready and with the right preparation you will.  So let's take a high level look at what must happen before you will be confident enough to go live.

Fixed Asset Management

Posted Wed, 12/08/2010 - 13:59 by anderson

Earlier this year there was a strong discussion on the inclusion of Fixed Asset management into the xTuple product (forum discussion here).  Many people contributed ideas and support.  This interest lead to the development of a Specification which in turn generated more ideas and interest.  The original intention of the discussion was to determine what additional functionality was needed by the xTuple community.  Well after many months, the first release of xTuple Fixed Asset Management is here.  I am proud to announce the release of the Fixed Asset extension package for xTuple. Read more »

Enhanced Commissions

Related to Features Incident 14761.

The current xTuple sales rep commissions feature has limited functionality that may not meet the needs of businesses with more complex and dynamic comissioning requirements. For example, the current system only allows for one sales rep per Sales Order, and only supports a flat commission rate per rep. 

The Enhanced Commissions spec covers both core (C++) changes and the contents of a new package (scripts) that will be maintained as part of the Enterprise Edition. The core updates are not described here, but are covered by a number of incidents associated with the omnibus Enhanced Commissions incident # 14761. The contents of the Enhanced Commissions package are covered in this specification. Read more »

More Gain, Less Pain getting started in 3.6

Posted Thu, 10/28/2010 - 18:36 by jrogelstad

UPDATE: The release candidate of xTuple 3.6.0 is available for download (no installer yet, just binaries and databases). 

We have really ramped up our efforts this year to increase the appeal and usability of the user interface. From the new Desktop and Quick Start Wizard, to  improved search functionality we have focused efforts on making it easier to get started and use xTuple.  Version 3.6, now in Beta, will continue that trend by allowing users to launch virtually any document from any other document.   That's right:  No more hunting around the menu system trying to find the edit list for the records you are searching.  Just jump to where you need to go from right where you are.

The new search cluster introduced in 3.5 now replaces all searchable widgets including customer, vendor and work order, and now you can create documents from any of those by selecting "New" on the menu list.  Similarly The combo box pictured on the left also includes the ability to jump directly to the edit list for those items (provided you have privileges of course).

But that's not all.  We've completely reorganized and consolidated the maintenance areas of xTuple in one common and easy to understand "Setup" screen. Read more »

XML Import: Sales Orders vs. Invoices

Posted Tue, 08/25/2009 - 14:16 by bcwilson

I'm not a master at ERP--I'm the web guy. My job is to run the xTuple web sites and the xTuple xChange. But one of the benefits of ERP is the ability to consolidate data from all kinds of sources into a single ERP accounting system. In our case, we export customer and order info from the xChange and import it into xTuple ERP (see our docs on xTuple e-commerce integration for more info). This forced me to learn something about ERP order processing. Read more »
