Sage 200 Manufacturing Update
Sage has announced that Sage 200 Manufacturing will be removed from Sage 200 with the release of 2025 R2, expected in October 2025. Additionally, all support for this module will end on December 31, 2025.
If you are currently using Sage 200 Manufacturing and would like to discuss your options, including a potential migration to Cim200, please reach out to Juuso Santti, your Sage 200 Account Manager.
Sage 200 Adding Additional Columns into Lists
Most modules feature a ‘List View’, which is excellent for providing an overview of your Ledger accounts, Customers, Suppliers, Orders, Stock Items, and more. While Sage 200 users often use the list view daily, many don’t fully leverage its potential.
To enhance your List View, you can add new columns by right-clicking any column header and selecting ‘Columns’. This allows you to include additional information such as Outstanding Balance, Credit Limit, On Hold status, Currency, and more. You also have the potential to send this information to Excel again by right-clicking anywhere in the list and selecting Export > All or Selected to Excel.
Report of the Month
This month’s offering is Purchase Orders Past Requested Date. This report provides you with a list of stock items from Purchase Orders with quantities and values relating to what is currently on order and what has been received. Please click here to view an example of the report.
If you would like this report added to Sage 200, please contact us.
Cim200
We are pleased to confirm that Cim200 is compatible with Sage 200 2024 R2.
Made in Britain
Our Manufacturing Software Solutions for Sage, were Made in Britain for British Manufacturers. To help showcase this, CIM Software Ltd has become a member of the official Made in Britain Organisation.
Design and development of our Cim50 product started 10 years ago in 2014 and this was released to 3 beta testing sites in August 2017. Today, we’re proud to be supporting hundreds of small British manufacturers with this comprehensive manufacturing solution.
Following the success of Cim50 Manufacturing, our in-house team began developing Cim200 Manufacturing for Sage 200 in 2019 which was released to the market in January 2022.
To this day, all new releases and bespoke developments are still completed by our in-house development team here in Britain.
A Quote from our Technical Director
“We are proud to support British manufacturers to modernise their MRP & ERP systems and streamline their entire manufacturing process by using our software. Every line of code in both of our flagship products have been written here in Great Britain, and licencing the Made in Britain trademark will ensure our customers and prospective customers know our commitment to providing them with high quality, innovative solutions will continue for many years to come.” – Stuart Rowcliffe, Technical Director Interested in finding out more about our Made in Britain membership? We have an entry in their Member’s Directory as well as our Cim50 and Cim200 solutions in their directory of British products.
