Production Management upgrade path (PM v2020 to v2022+)

SOLVED

We have a few customers running the v2020 version of Production Management (i.e. the ScanCo version).

At some point, I received the following note (but cannot remember the source):

"If you're upgrading from the standalone version of Production Management that was previously available, you must be on version 2021.x of the standalone version before upgrading to the Production Management module that is part of Sage 100 2022."

Can someone tell me if this is still the case?  Or was this limitation resolved with one of the v2022 product updates?

Going through a middle-step migration is obviously something we'd like to avoid (...especially for the Premium clients, since that would require a 3rd SQL instance for v2021).

    Yes... install another version (on a separate SQL instance for Premium), with PU's and enhancements, migrate, convert (Sage), convert (enhancements)... then repeat for v2022+.  Hours of extra setup, and hours of extra migration / data conversion.

    I understand why Sage would want a consistent starting point for their data conversion, but from our perspective it is very inconvenient to not include the JT 2020 to JT 2021 conversion programming in the v2022+ data conversion (as happens for normal Sage modules).

    I'm working with a client that hates v2020 PM.  In addition, their IT won't expand the hard drive so I have to move my installers to a different server and will just "scrape by with enough room" to upgrade.  To tell them we need to do it twice is going to be problematic.  Not the Customer Experience we strive to achieve.
