    Anything of interest on this version?  I have been running it since the release and it has been pretty much ho hum.  But then again, I am not using the PM module.    I did notice that a hotfix has been released already.  Sage1002022.0ProgramFixGL7101T.exe.  SYMPTOM  - Bank Account Numbers are "corrupted" or appear Invalid in DFDM.

    I tried twice to install on my server but run into this error.  Any thought?  Hopefully, it is just my server install.  Would be sad that a hotfix wasn't so hot.  It prompts you for a folder to install to.  Shouldn't the install program "know" the path to install?  FOLLOWUP- NEVERMIND!!!!  hOTFIX WAS CORRUPTED.  Redownloaded.  All is good! v2022 land now.

    Here is another puzzler.  Installing tonight for client that has the WO module.  Since Sage is now responsible for the module, I just "ASSUMED" that the client keys from the portal would activate PM.  But NO!  Did I miss the fine print (high probability) that you have to contact Sage for new keys???  Not seeing the logic....

    BTW, Production Management does appear in the module listing for the client.

    Product Description User Count Employee Count Serial Number Registration Number Activation Key
    G9WCLPMZ Sage 100c Production Mgmt Std Users 3 0
    S1SCANCOREZ Sage 100c Production Mgmt Core 1 0


    TIA.

    Back to this post.  Hoping that someone at MOTM saw the Sage presentation.  Has anyone installed this version and tried to convert a v2021 WO installation?  What is the secret for getting the keys (from the partner portal) to work?  Is this an early bug?  As noted above, I keep getting a "must convert company data message".  All module converted but WO to PM?  One would think this would have been caught in Beta.  Or are the early adopters the beta testers?  Also, I received a message that this version of PM has LESS functionality than WO.  Is that true?  I just assumed that Sage fixed all all the issue in PM 2021 and made it their own.  Hard to believe that the new version has LESS.  I guess I shouldn't even ask if the Scankco PM partner training manual is even close to being in usable here.  Should I be posting this in the Sage 100 community?

    Mitch Jagosz is puzzled why the keys were not correctly.  They are looking into the reason the portal did not reflect the three PM users.  In the meantime, they provided new keys.  They also pinpointed the issue with WO=> PM conversion.  They are sending me some program patches.  Hope no one is in a hurry to go live with this one!!!

    Thanks for this valuable share Jeff, both about the keys and the must convert message! No doubt at all that some of us will run into one or the other as well. Glad to hear there will be patches for the latter. 

    Speaking with my dev hat on,  from what I saw in the PM sessions, and drawing from the J/C to Framework experience, my strong gut feel is there will be more hotfixes coming around and many fixes reported thru Support deferred for 2022.1. In fact they even mentioned some issues found in QA testing are already slated for PU1 that couldn't make it in time for product release.

    I'm installing a v2022 Premium now (on a test machine), and will do a test upgrade of XYZ data at some point to see what happens during a WO conversion.  If there's anything odd / important I'll be sure to share.

    We have two test Advanced installs with PM running on them and the keys worked fine.  Both show the same number of Sage and PM users in * info.  In mid-June we will be doing a Premium install and  test migrating a client who already uses PM from v2019 Advanced.  They already endured the work order conversion so that shouldn't be an issue.  However, they have a bunch of custom crystal reports and forms along with a VI job for templates that they use regularly.  I'm wondering how all of those conversions will go and if we'll have to re-create the crystal reports/forms and VI job.  I'm assuming anything outside Sage like  Sage Alerts and Power BI will have to be re-done with the new table names but it would be helpful if the crystal reports would convert.  I'm not holding my breath....

    My install is/was running WO in 2021 and the issues were encountered in 2022.  The three PM users showed as a line in the registration keys but the five part activation key was activating the PM module.  New key, cleared that hurdle.  Conversion from WO to PM still not working.  No ETA provided by support.

    I would expect all of the Crystals will be rewritten.  the good ol days of v4.x come back to mind.  Ditto with VI, Alerts and Power BI.

    Based on @Wayne Schulz recap of the PM presentation, not sure why anyone is jumping on to this turnip cart instead of waiting till PU1 (at least).  Still waiting on what WO feature is missing from this beta version of PM>

    We "almost always" wait for PU1 Release.  I would have to believe the SAGE Version of PM is going to be less eventful than the prior version.  Previously, you could not help tripping over dozens of issues needing dozens of hot fixes.

    Heads-up that Sage 100 (v2022) still auto-reboots without notice after installing pre-req's (if it needs to), and not specific to .NET.
