The xTupler

More than 25 people registered for the EDI webinar held in July, seeking to learn more about solutions offered by CAI Software. As of this date, several xTuple customers have already implemented these EDI solutions in their production environments.

So far, early adoption has focused on customer-side EDI transactions, including these standard forms:

• Invoice - 810
• Purchase order - 850
• Purchase order acknowledgement - 855 

Coming in early 2024, xTuple will be adding "out of the box" support for several vendor-side EDI forms. In addition, the xTuple Desktop client will be updated to support advanced shipping notice (ASN) functionality. EDI support for ASN will also be available.

The dev team has been putting added focus on the mobile inventory app for Android. The app provides un-tethered access to the most common inventory transactions. Software updates are available now, with additional hardware choices coming soon. I

f you're looking for a mobile scanning solution, then you should check out the Android app. The app is available as an add-on to your annual subscription.

The xTuple development team recently published a new version of the app, which includes the following updates:  

• Support for xTuple ERP 6.0.5 and 6.0.6
• Compatibility with more recent versions of Android

If you already have the Android app deployed at your site, then look for the newest version on the xTuple customer portal. 

American record producer, rapper, singer, songwriter, and fashion designer Pharrell Williams has purchased the former xTuple headquarters building in downtown Norfolk, Virginia. Born and raised in nearby Virginia Beach, Pharrell plans to convert the building into a private school for students from low-income families.

The school will be part of a network of "micro-schools" established by Pharrell's non-profit organization Yellow. The goal of the schools is to provide students in grades 4-7 "with the opportunity to connect their learning to real-world challenges."

Classroom activity is not new to the building at 118 W. Bute Street in Norfolk. For years prior to the pandemic, xTuple held frequent in-person training classes for customers and partners from around the world.

Built in 1943, the Art Deco structure originally housed a bank. Our visitors may remember that the old bank vault was used by xTuple as a server room.
