Introduction

We are excited to share the latest improvements in SAP Integration Suite designed to support key business scenarios related to consumption-based usage tracking.

With these enhancements, users can now gain deeper insights into message consumption across their integration flows and easily download consolidated monthly usage reports.

How to check Cloud Integration capability consumptions as a Subaccount Admin

If you are a subaccount admin and want to know the consumption of the cloud integration capability in Integration Suite service, follow these steps:

  1. Open your subaccount where Cloud Integration capability of Integration Suite service is activated.
  2. In the left navigation pane, click on Usage Analytics. This page displays the consumption details for all services.
  3. You can select a date range (Period) to view usage for a specific timeframe.
  4. After selecting the required period, the table will show detailed consumption for all services. In the table, check the “Service Plan” column for entries related to Integration Suite – messages.
  5. For Cloud Integration (CPI) messages, two entries are important:
    1. Total Cloud Integration Messages (e.g., 658 messages)
    2. Excluded Cloud Integration Messages (Only SAP to SAP) (e.g., 320 messages)
  6. Total Cloud Integration (CPI) Chargeable Messages = Total Cloud Integration Messages - Excluded Cloud Integration Messages.

Background

As many of you know, the Cloud Integration capability of SAP Integration Suite already provides double-click metering details for every integration flow execution.

Based on valuable feedback from our customers, this detailed view has proven useful in:

  • Troubleshooting message volume spikes
  • Identifying specific integration flow that contributes the most in message consumption
  • Understanding how key components (such as Splitter, Retry, or SAP-to-SAP Original Content) impact billable messages

These details are crucial for transparency and cost management, as outlined in the message definition documentation.

With this new enhancement, users can now:

  • View consolidated monthly message consumption per integration flow and per package

  • Share usage data easily with Lines of Business (LoBs) for further analysis and discussions
