[Ned Lilly <ned(at)nedscape(dot)com>]

All,

xTuple, the company formerly known as OpenMFG, is very happy to announce the general availability of PostBooks, the world's most advanced open source ERP system.

PostBooks is a full-featured, fully-integrated accounting, ERP, and CRM system, based on the award winning OpenMFG ERP Suite.

Built with the open source PostgreSQL database, and the open source Qt framework for C++, it provides the ultimate in power and flexibility for a range of businesses and industries. It includes the following modules:

   * Accounting (general ledger, accounts receivable and payable, bank reconciliation, financial reporting)
   * Sales (quotes, order entry, sales reporting, shipping)
   * CRM (universal address book, incident management, opportunity management, to-do lists, project management)
   * Purchasing (purchase orders, receiving, vendor reporting)
   * Product Definition (items, infinite-level bills of material)
   * Inventory (multiple locations, other advanced warehouse features)
   * Light Manufacturing (work orders, strong support for make-to-order)
   * OpenRPT open source report writer

Like all xTuple products, it runs equally well on Windows, Linux, and Mac - and is fully internationalized (multi-currency, support for multiple tax structures, and multilingual translation packs maintained by our global community).

PostBooks is licensed under the CPAL, the OSI-certified Common Public Attribution License.
