8. Shipping & Receiving

Now that we have built the sold item YTRUCK1, we are ready to ship it to our customer using the Inventory module. As we saw earlier in the process flow, the Inventory module is responsible for receiving purchased materials into inventory. The Inventory module also handles the shipment of sold items to customers.

Before we ship our product, it is important to note that xTuple ERP supports online credit card authorization and charging. This may be performed during the sales order process using the Payment tab or during the A/R cash receipts process. Note in the screen shot below that key information is encrypted. The encryption of data occurs in the xTuple ERP database. Only users who possess the required encryption key may view this information, as shown below:
