Compatibility Packs (CP) are functionalities from SAP Business Suite that are allowed to run in S/4HANA to ensure
business continuity till SAP develops a comparable alternate solution.

WHY

• Compatibility Packs have temporary usage rights in S/4HANA, restricted till December 2025.
• This is not same as “end of support”. SAP will start deprecating these functionalities as of release 2025.
• To stay compliant and avoid business disruption, the customers actively using Compatibility Pack functionalities must adopt
the successor roadmap solution.

WHAT

• Check your Compatibility Pack usage in the dedicated section in SAP Readiness check Report
• As part of the transformation journey, assess your Compatibility Pack usage and plan for adoption of successor roadmap
solutions before end of usage rights

HOW
