    Announcement here: 
    Production Management Plus (PM+) -Make to Order is Just the Beginning - Sage Warehouse & Manufacturing Automation

    Webinar held 9/23/21:

    Here are my quick notes as per Scanco webinar in production management+ today.

    - there are 600 PM users ( unsure if this is all up and running, people who requested license keys or the total population of WO users )
    - PM+ will be $270 or $275/mo ( not sure I have the right price )
    - ship Oct 8
    - Scanco will do the install and support


    Other than that there’s a lot that isn’t known yet. Or at least wasn’t on this webinar.

    First, no idea if regular PM is also required but I’m guessing yes.

    Second, no idea on compatibility with the various multi-bins, other WMS, etc

    This presentation was a classic "slideware" presentation, except that the demo was live. IMO they have a long way to go to justify $3,300 annually. They had no real product positioning about how it fits between PM and OM (Job Ops). AND they automatically cut out the partner. 

    I'm interested to watch how this plays out in the real world.

    I have to agree, I thought there would be a lot more functionality in PM+.  From what I could see it looks like it just offers a way to create a work ticket from the sales Order entry screen. I was hoping for things like the build availability and other features that were in the manufacturing efficiency.  I'm sure they plan to get there some day.

    @Jerry Norman makes a good point regarding the annual investment of about $3,300. A minimum 3-user PM costs $1,134 annually, so I would hope users would ask what they are buying with standard PM, if it takes almost 3X more to do MTO. Then, of course, if they opt for Operations Management, a 3-user system is $2,658 annually, and that includes MTO. Apples to apples, you still need to add IRP to the PM package for another $1,037. Operations Management has CEM included.

    This is not much different when users had Work Order and added the WO Efficiency form ACSG. They still had Work Order, not JobOps.​

    ... and there is no user guide for download, so what exactly does this expensive add-on do?  Anyone have a user guide - any version?  I've contacted Scanco again for yet another MIA user guide.
