Congratulations! You have now completed a full business process flow in xTuple ERP. We started by entering a sales order for an item that had zero quantity-on-hand. We elected to use xTuple ERP's make-to-order functionality, which generates work orders directly from sales orders when they are saved.
Next, we ran xTuple ERP's planning system in the module. xTuple ERP determined that we were out of stock for a subassembly found in the item we sold, and, furthermore, determined we were also short a component in the subassembly. This multi-level material planning is difficult to do by hand, but it is core xTuple ERP functionality. xTuple ERP planned a work order for the subassembly and a purchase order for the component.
