SAP Private Cloud Automated User Metering Guideline
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 :
• ≥ SAP BASIS 752
• Including all Support Packages
Your systems need to be on any of those releases to be
enabled for the automated metering.
