xTuple ERP is an ERP for small and midsize manufacturers and distributors, developed by xTuple, a CAI Software company since 2022. It grew out of the PostBooks project and runs on PostgreSQL, with a Qt desktop client and a REST API served by a Node.js layer. The Distribution, Manufacturing and Enterprise editions cover sales and CRM, inventory, purchasing, shipping and receiving and accounting, with manufacturing in the Manufacturing and Enterprise editions. Planners work with Item Sites, Bills of Materials, Work Orders and Purchase Orders. A production scheduling product reads production orders, which xTuple calls Work Orders, with their bills of materials through Makini's Unified API, so it can see which jobs are Open, Exploded, Released or In-Process. Inventory optimization tools compare stock levels per site with open purchase orders and Purchase Requests to suggest reorder quantities. Sales and CPQ tools read sales orders and customers, and where the connection permits writes, they can push a new sales order into xTuple. An xTuple user signs in through Makini Link, embedded in the vendor's product or sent as a magic link, so credentials never pass through the vendor's application. Data then syncs on an interval set by the Makini plan, not in real time. xTuple grants privileges per user account, module by module or through roles, so ask the customer's administrator for an account with only the privileges the product needs. When the database is hosted on premises, IT can allow Makini's fixed IPs in the firewall or set up a VPN.
