I attended a webinar on xTuple's upcoming 3.5.0 release. One new item I am looking forward to is drop-ship functionality for Purchase Orders. It ties in very well with Sales Orders, such that when you create a Sales Order line for a drop-shipped item, it can automatically create the PO right then. When you "receive" the PO, it automatically updates the Sales Order, telling the order that the quantity has shipped, so you can then Invoice the Sales Order.
Version 3.5.0 should be out any day now, followed by 3.5.1 not too long after. 3.5.1 will add a new "Desktop" to the application, with icons that link to a menu option. This is more along the lines of what Microsoft is doing with their Dynamics ERP software packages - a customizable home page.
There are some other features in the release, such as autocomplete when looking up records, and some features around manufacturing and tooling that will be helpful. Overall, I am really looking forward to evaluating this software and comparing it to Dynamics GP and others.
