Product Information
Update about the maintenance timelines for current releases of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation, version for SAP BW/4HANA 2021
We would like to provide an update about the product version
SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 2021, version for SAP BW/4HANA 2021.
As we explained in our previous blog, our Planning products are following the maintenance strategy of the underlying platform. This means there will always be a corresponding SAP BPC/4HANA product version which supports the latest SAP BW/4HANA release.
For instance, we are offering a new SAP BW/4HANA 2023 (PAM) release on October 31st, 2023, consequently we have decided to also support this release with the help of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 2021, version for SAP BW/4HANA 2021 as well. So, the SAP BW/4HANA 2021 and SAP BW4/HANA 2023 releases will be supported by the same SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 2021, version for SAP BW/4HANA 2021 (PAM) release. (The corresponding release name will be communicated in a timely manner).
| Underlying SAP BW release | Maintenance SAP BW release until | Corresponding SAP BPC release | Maintenance SAP BPC until |
| SAP BW 7.50 | 31.12.2030 PAM | SAP BPC 10.1 | 31.12.2027 PAM |
| SAP BW4/HANA 2.0 | 31.12.2024 PAM | SAP BPC 11.1 | 31.12.2024 PAM |
| SAP BW4/HANA 2021 | 31.12.2027 PAM | SAP BPC 2021 | 31.12.2027 PAM |
| SAP BW4/HANA 2023 | 31.12.2030 PAM | SAP BPC 2021 | 31.12.2030 PAM |
