Tip of the Week: An Easy Transition to Cim 200 Manufacturing

Cim provide manufacturing software solutions for Sage throughout the UK and Ireland. Their primary focus is their manufacturing software and have created Cim 200 Manufacturing with Sage 200 Manufacturing users in mind.  

In this Tip of the Week, we explore the similarities between Cim 200 Manufacturing and the now discontinued Sage 200 Manufacturing solution, highlighting how these commonalities make the transition seamless for users. 

In addition, you can watch the short video here to better your understanding. 

The Cim solution contains a planning and works order section, as it does in Sage 200 Manufacturing. Your works orders are processed the same way, requiring the works order to be allocated, issued, completed and closed.  

The works order list in Cim 200 Manufacturing looks similar to the list in Sage Manufacturing, with processing action actions across the top of the list.

The planning module also works in likeness to Sage 200 Manufacturing, requiring you to run MPS and MRP to read the demand, and return lists relating to replenishment, exclusions and recommendations.

Overall, the transition to Cim 200 Manufacturing is an easy process for experienced Sage users. Additional training would focus mostly on the new features and product enhancements.
