RISE with SAP: What’s included and what’s not

A recurring question Xactitud consultants get asked by their customers is: "If I move to RISE with SAP, what's included and excluded?"

Below, Xactitud has summarised the primary inclusions and exclusions (please note this is an evolving and non-exhaustive list):

RISE with SAP: What's included?

  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud Business Applications: Permitted use of the core solution capabilities of RISE with SAP depends on the access level the Customer allocates individuals to the Cloud Service -Advanced, Core and Self-Service.
