Prerequisites for successful metering

MEASUREMENT TOOLS
 The metering of Private Cloud systems will be triggered centrally for all your systems to free up capacity on
your side. This is technically possible with the following releases and Support Packages:
– SAP BASIS 753 - 1809 SP7
– SAP BASIS 754 - 1909 SP5
– SAP BASIS 755 - 2020 SP3
– ≥ SAP BASIS 756
 Your systems need to be on any of those releases and SPs to be enabled for the automated metering.
