@Stacy Schultz is correct. The biggest concern I have generally about MRP going away is the Projected Demand function. Although Scanco plans to include this functionality in IRP and CEM (in Operations Management), there is no timing defined at this time. Projected Demand becomes more important for larger companies, especially ones that are publicly traded. We hope to see this function by mid-2021.
Users on current maintenance or subscription should have a 3-user PM licensed if they have WO, so they should be at least creating a test environment to start reviewing its capabilities and not wait until the last minute in 2022. As important is reviewing their production requirements to determine if PM is sufficient or if OM is more appropriate. Many users simply put up with the limitations of WO for years, so now would be the time to do it right.

When Sage had the webinar about What's coming for Sage 100 & Sage100cloud on 12/18/2018, they said "no new license sales as of March 29, 2019, and end of support 2022". I don't recall that message changing.
