Availability

Access to the SAP for Me Consumption tab is available to all SAP customers. If your access is not granted after the correct authorization profiles have been assigned, please submit a support case(opens in new tab).

SAP for Me provides consumption results for Subscribed Based Products across Public Cloud, Private Cloud, and On-Premise contracts — but only if all requirements listed in section Requirements are met and the relevant data conditions described below are satisfied for your deployment type.

Public Cloud

For SAP Public Cloud products, license usage snapshots are taken automatically by SAP — no system measurement or manual upload is required by the customer.

Data is only visible in SAP for Me if the measurable metrics for that product have been released externally by SAP. Not all products or metrics may be available at any given time.

On-Premise – License Audit

Measurement results for license audits are only visible in SAP for Me once a formal license audit has been completed and the results have been officially published to SAP for Me by SAP.

Customers cannot upload or trigger this view independently — it is populated by SAP following the conclusion of an audit engagement.

On-Premise – Self Measurement

For On-Premise systems, customers must perform a system measurement themselves and upload the results to SAP for Me before any consumption data becomes visible.

The preparation steps are:

  • Run the system measurement tool (USMM) on your SAP system.
  • Generate the measurement file (LAW file) via the License Administration Workbench (LAW).
  • Upload the measurement file in the License Utilization Preparation Area (LUPA) in SAP for Me.

Private Cloud

For SAP Private Cloud (RISE with SAP / GROW with SAP), metering data is made available in SAP for Me on a monthly basis. SAP triggers the automated metering process for customer Private Cloud systems each month.

Customers can view license entitlements, measured consumption, and any identified gaps directly in the Private Cloud Consumption card.
