SAP SB or SAP BRIM

[steph_-anie]

Dear Expert

We would like to implement a subscription / recurring solution. There seems to be 2 solutions in SAP : BRIM and SB. What are the criterias to make a selection?

I see also that since recenty SB is integrated with CI (convergent Invoicing). What are th benefits compared to use external billing document request and SD in S/4HANA for billing?

Thanks in advance, Stéphanie

Hello Stéphanie

What are the use cases that you would like o cover with subscription billing capabilities? Recurring subscriptions with or w/o pay-per-use, usage based possibilities? Do you intend to bundle your subscriptions with equipment, maintenance, professional services? Do you have some needs for quoting capabilities? Do you intend to put in place partner revenue share for the services you'd like to deliver?

What is the industrie which relates to your use cases?

All of these questions will help us identify whether our public cloud components would be the appropriate ones versus a private or OP approach with our BRIM portfolio.

Thanks

Isabelle

hello Isabelle and experts

we would like to cover recurring subscription (monthly, quaterly and yearly) with pay per use and usage based possibilities. the rating model are quite simple for now, however we have offer where price varies depending on parameters which needs to be defined during quotation and configuration of offer by the customer. Configurable product would be great but those do not work with SAP SB.

we do not intend to bundle subscription with other equipment, maintenance and professional services, at least for now. but we would like to generate only one invoice for the customer (multiple subscriptions).

we need quoting capabilities and for that we are implementing SAP CPQ. therefore the chosen solution needs integration capabilities with CPQ.

no need for partner revenue share.

we would like to have strong integration with S4HANA on premise where we should have the master data (customer and subscription product), but also ideally to have the quotation and contract.

Industry is mostly equipment. But plan to sell some digital services as well.

Thanks in advance, Stéphanie
