Sage 100 Work Order vs Production Management

by Leave a Comment

Sage released their Production Management module for Sage 100 on May 14, 2019. This module is the replacement for their Work Order module. It is feature comparable and also includes significant new enhancement ( see PDF below).

During 2019 Sage has committed to also releasing MRP and an updated Sage 100 Manufacturing which will work with Sage Production Management to extend manufacturing capabilities for Sage 100 and Sage 100cloud.

This handy comparison chart has been updated to show the difference in features between Sage 100 Work Order and the new Production Management Module.

Where Is Sage Summit Being Held In 2020?

by Leave a Comment

During 2019 Sage held two mid-market conference events which they branded as Sage Summit.

The first was held February 13-15, 2019 in San Diego, CA. The second was in Atlanta, GA May 13-15, 2019.

The Atlanta event announced registrations of at least 1,200 and the participant interest was strong – especially around the new Sage 100cloud Production Management module which was released May 14, 2019, during the conference.

Where Will Sage Summit 2020 Be Held?

Although Sage has not made any announcement on the timing or location(s) for Sage Summit 2020, we have heard two different options.

We think there could be dual West Coast / East Coast events again next year.

Sage has hinted at this possibility during interviews though I do not think a final decision has been made.

Some third-party ISVs reportedly have been queried about a possible East Coast location. It is unclear whether this would be in addition to another event to be held on the West Coast

It appears likely that Sage is concentrating on at least one East or West coast event though that’s likely not going to be confirmed until later in the year.

The next major conference for Sage North America is the Sage Intacct Advantage event held October 21-25, 2019 in Las Vegas.

How To Download Sage 100 Production Management – (And 7 Things To Know Before You Do)

by Leave a Comment

Sage Production management was released May 14, 2019. It’s an update/replacement for Sage’s existing Work Order module. Additional functionality such as MRP and manufacturing is scheduled to be added throughout 2019 and into 2020.

Sage is in the process of notifying customers using Sage 100cloud ( subscription ) about this release.

If you are still on a perpetual license with Sage you will receive slightly different pricing.

Although you can download and install Sage Production Management today, there are seven things you should understand prior to installation.

  1. Once you install Production Management ( PM ) your Work Order module will go into read-only mode for all companies. (Tip: Best to test first in a separate parallel version of Sage 100 )
  2. Installing Production Management impacts all Sage company codes. For example, you cannot install PM to just company code ABC and continue using Work Order for company XYZ.
  3. PM does NOT convert Work Order history – and the jury is out on whether it ever will. Read about the differences between Sage 100 Work Order and Production Management.
  4. MRP is coming but not ready yet – slated for mid-year 2019
  5. Only Scanco Multi-Bin is compatible with Production Management
  6. If you own Work Order Sage will automatically trade your Work Order license for 3 Production Management users ( the minimum allowed though you can buy more )
  7. For those not ready to move to Production Management, expect Work Order to be supported through 2022
