Sicon Manufacturing is a set of production control modules for Sage 200, integrated with Stock, BOM, Sales and Purchase Order Processing
In early 2020 Sage announced a new partnership with Sicon and confirmed that the Sicon Manufacturing suite would be the production software of choice for the Sage 200 product moving forward.
Unlike the legacy Sage offering, the Sicon manufacturing suite is a group of optional modules. Meaning that you can choose which ones you wish to implement for your business.
Modules include: Works Order Processing, Material Requirement Planning, Shop Floor Data Capture, Job Costing and Barcode and Warehousing.

The integrated nature of the Sicon Sage 200 Manufacturing suite allows efficient resource planning at every stage of the production process which is pivotal to any manufacturer.
As part of the Sicon Manufacturing suite, Sicon Works Order Processing integrates fully with the core Sage 200 BOM and Stock Control modules.
On its own, it provides enhanced functionality to the Sage 200 BOM module and is an ideal addition for clients in manufacturing who need a simplified stock allocation and issuing process.
As part of the full Manufacturing suite, this product becomes the key processing engine, with the ability to amend works orders during assembly and update operations with true costs from the shop floor data capture module.
The second core component of the suite is Material Requirement Planning (MRP). Based on material demand from sales and purchase orders, forecast sales orders, free stock and min stock levels plus the Sicon Works Orders module, a list of suggested works orders and suggested purchase orders are created.
Weekly labour and machine capacity demand is also created from Works Orders and generates a rough-cut capacity plan at both labour and machine levels. You can run MRP once a week or twenty times per day. On top of that, you don’t need to get everyone out of the system to do it!
If you need to integrate your Manufacturing with Project Accounting this is no problem. Works Order fully integrates with Job Costing so you can see ongoing commitments and WIP in your projects as the production process progresses.
