A sales order kit configurator headlines xTuple ERP version 6.1, coming later this year. The feature will extend xTuple's kitting capability beyond kit items, to include manufactured and purchased items, as well. Users will now have more flexibility, when bundling accessories or other add-ons along with sold products. Multiple configuration options, including embedded pricing schedules, are available.
The new kit configurator is designed to complement and improve on xTuple's existing kitting capabilities.

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.
