Add a Service or Entitlement in SAP BTP Trial Account

INTRODUCTION

This blog post will be helpful to the ones who are trying to create an account on SAP Business Technology Platform aka SAP BTP for Business Application Studio, ABAP Environment or any other environment.

• For more information on how to set up SAP Business Application Studio for Development, please check the tutorial: Set Up SAP Business Application Studio for Development
• For more information on how to Create an SAP BTP ABAP Environment Trial User, please check the tutorial: Create an SAP BTP ABAP Environment Trial User

To become familiar with the specifics of the trial offerings, have a look at the following resources:

• Getting Started with a Trial Account in the Cloud Foundry Environment
• Getting Started with a Trial Account in the ABAP Environment
• Getting Started with a Trial Account in the Kyma Environment

It has been noticed and reported, that sometimes while creating the trial account on SAP BTP, the user does not get the required Entitlements/Subscriptions/Service by default. Don’t worry, we can add them manually.

Terms used:

You should understand the difference between entitlements and quota because you’ll encounter these 2 terms quite often.

• Entitlements are your right to provision and consume a resource. They refer to what you’re entitled to use (e.g., which services and service plans).
• Quota is the numeric quantity that defines the maximum allowed consumption of that resource. In other words, how much of a service plan you’re entitled to use.

Entitlements and quotas are managed at the global account level, distributed to directories and subaccounts, and consumed by the subaccounts.

When you remove quotas or entitlements from a subaccount, they become available again at the global account level and can be assigned to other subaccounts.

For more information on entitlements, you can always consult the documentation on Entitlements.

If you run into problems regarding entitlements and quotas, can check out the Guided Answers.
