The FRE is the very flexible financial reporting tool that enables you to create core financial reports like Income Statements and Balances sheets as well as custom reports including Working Capital reports and Profit Center P/L reports.
Like everything in xTuple the FRE has continued to evolve with large and small improvements over time. But, the FRE video had not kept up, that is...
Here's an interview I did with eWeek's Mike Vizard . We cover a lot of ground, talking about open source applications in general, how the xTuple community works, what's going on in the marketplace, etc. You can download the MP3 here , or click the control below to listen straight away.
An essential xTuple doctrine is our commitment to “eating our own dog food,” using xTuple ERP within our own company to do our jobs better, and to ensure we understand the experience from a customer's point of view. It can be eye-opening, at times. In this way, we've come up with our own "wish list" of features we'd like to see in the software. Of course, nothing speeds up that process like...
Recently, I've had the opportunity to install a solid state storage device for a customer. (Think of your USB thumb drive, or the card you shove into your digital camera, only this thing plugs into your server's 4x PCI slot.)
At first glance, the thing is fast, really really really fast. How fast? How about +500MB/s write speeds?
That's turning it way past 11, folks...

We're happy to announce that the long-awaited all-in-one installers for xTuple ERP: PostBooks Edition, developed in partnership with our friends at Bitrock , are now available for download from Sourceforge .
There are installers for Windows, Mac OS X (Intel and PPC), and for the first time, an integrated installer for Linux as well. (Yes, we know you really want to build from source,...
A knugget is a knowledge nugget. A small piece of useful information designed to help somebody out. We see them every day on our website. When somebody takes the time to answer a newbie's question in the forum, that's a knugget. Or when a power user posts an alternate workaround to a bug that already has a perfectly good workaround, that's a knugget. Or when a partner discovers a new method...
Everyone else seems to have an opinion on this one, so I guess I'll weigh in.
We've had a handful of interesting intersections with Sun in recent years, including getting the xTuple client working on OpenSolaris, and some very interesting conversations about adding UBL support to OpenOffice so you could save/load business documents (invoices, POs, ASNs, etc.) in either xTuple ERP or...
The video collection continues to grow covering a wide array of topics. The latest addition shows, in a single video, the execution of a comprehensive business process flow from end-to-end. It covers inventory management, purchasing, manufacturing, sales, accounts receivable and accounts payable in a single integrated flow. It is a great way to get acquainted with the application or learn...
One of the things I like most about the Translation Portal is how it demonstrates that open source is not just for programmers. Anyone with an Internet connection and a little extra time can sign up and get involved. It's that easy. And plenty of people have been doing just that. As of right now, the portal is currently hosting 16 translation projects. Not bad for a tool we released late last...
Professor Atherton has been hard at work again, this time to produce a training video for the xTuple online Translation and Localization tools . If you've been thinking about getting involved with the translation of xTuple into any of the sixteen languages currently under development, this demonstration video is just what you need. Jump in, take a look, and give us your feedback! Then head...
Everyday day the "noise" around Software as a Service ( SaaS ) seems to ring in my ears. The pundits just cannot stop talking about it, and there is certainly no shortage of companies out there with vested interests touting the great benefits of SaaS on their Blogs and Twitter accounts. My opinion on the matter is that SaaS is a fine business model, one of many that works for some companies,...
We all know the knock on corporate acquisitions - particularly in the technology world. They never work out, all the good people leave within twelve months and one day, the product has got one foot in the grave by the time the ink on the purchase agreement has dried. And that's all too often true - a point I myself often note over at The ERP Graveyard Blog .
But I'm here to tell you...
With the launch of this new xtuple.org website we're also launching the first web-based interface to xTuple ERP. It's our CRM Support module , a tool that allows us to display CRM data from the xTuple database directly on the web (sorry, only authorized customers and partners have access to the online support portal!).
This is the first of many ways we can expose xTuple functionality...
