xTuple for Service Businesses Demo Guide

The next step in our logical process flow through xTuple ERP is to use the Schedule module to generate multi-level planned material requirements planning (MRP) orders. Later in this demo guide we will cover master production scheduling (MPS) orders. Running MRP ensures we will have the correct quantities of raw materials and subassemblies on-hand at the right time to complete our sold items. xTuple ERP enables you to minimize your inventory investment, while ensuring that production is completed and orders are shipped to customers on time. Keep in mind that because we checked the Create Work Order box during sales order line item entry, xTuple ERP has already created a work order for 100 yellow tough trucks, the top-level item. We will process this work order later. Had we not checked the Create Work Order box when entering the sales order line item, the Schedule module would have automatically generated a planned work order to meet the sales order demand.
