bill of materials and sage 50 replacement

bill of materials and sage 50 replacement

Didn't find your answer?

we have client using sage 50 and needs bill of materials functionality.

Are there any decent alternatives out their online eg xero and recommended add in ? 

Ideally client is looking to get price down (i suspect they may be lucky) but sage desktop is possibly  bit old school think client would like something online.

Not sure if sage might also be ending the BOM functionality soon in which case they could perhaps be forced to jump ship - dont know if that will happen soon or not.

Basically client said sage can get constituent sub parts to make up something bigger so would need to be more than something that just counts stock in and out.

from what client was saying looks like they need multi level as they specifically mentioned consituent parts of product - i have sent them the full list of adds ins that work with xero - i suspect client will have to pay similar or more than what they pay with sage if they change as these erp type add ins dont ever seem to come cheap - client is loking at mrp easy which does have lower level subscription cost that is not excessive - i suspect though mrp will ensure that more than basic subscription may be needed to get the most out of that software.

Sage50 has gone End Of Life on Sage50 Manufacturing : which included a BOM module.

I would suggest they look at Sapmanv12.co.uk : A fully featured MRP software package made by Sage Developers - I have to declare an interest as they have been clients of mine for 25 odd years.

As far as an online solution goes - you can run the software ( & Sage) on an online server.

There is an improvement over the old Sage modular approach, in that SoP, PoP, Stock et al Etc. are all run in Sapmanv12 which gives your client much greater functionality e.g. Traceability, Multi Depot Stock, Shop Floor Data Capture Etc.
