Many companies pay more for SAP licenses than they actually should – often unnoticed. Reasons include over-licensed users, incorrect usage assignments, and unused modules. These hidden costs can accumulate over the years to millions.
Common mistakes in licensing:
1. Over-licensing: Companies purchase more licenses than they actually need.
2. Incorrect license types: Many users have expensive full access rights, even though they only use basic functions.
3. Unused features: Modules and applications are licensed but never used.
4. Lack of compliance control: Companies risk back payments if SAP discovers irregularities during an audit.
