Sage 200 Manufacturing is Sage’s retired Manufacturing Module for Sage 200. At CIM, we noticed that it hadn’t received any new development for a number of years so decided to start developing our own manufacturing module for Sage 200, Cim200 Manufacturing. We began developing this in 2019, incorporating a lot of the Sage 200 Manufacturing features as well as additional functionality that our customers were requesting. Sage also has an Ideas Portal, where real customers and Business Partners can make development requests and upvote suggestions that are relevant to them. In this blog, we’re going to compare the public wishes logged on the Sage Ideas Portal for Sage 200 Manufacturing with our Cim200 Manufacturing solution.
Sage 200 Manufacturing Wishes vs Cim200 Manufacturing
In the below tables, we’ve collated similar wishes together, providing all of the individual wish references, a summary of the functionality as well as the total number of votes for the wish(es). We have also split the wishes into two categories: functionality currently in Cim200 and functionality included in our development roadmap.
This content and the wish counts are up to date as of December 2024. We will continue to update this page as new functionality is added to our Cim200 Manufacturing solution.
