Hi Amith,

I think you ask a quite generic and broad question. There are a lot of blogs out there which you should be looking into:

https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-members/sac-connection-to-on-premise-sap-systems/ba...

https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-q-a/afo-standard-edition-vs-sac-afo/qaq-p/12798998

Also training-wise you'll find hopefully a starting point by searching in learning hub:

Hi Edrilan Berisha,

Thanks for the prompt answer. Just one clarification. 
If we purchased SAC will we be getting AFO license for Sap Analytics Cloud edition along with it or do we need to purchase it seperately?

Regards,

Amith

Hi Amith, so from what I found in 2022 in this question thread: https://community.sap.com/t5/enterprise-resource-planning-q-a/afo-license-standard-edition-afo-licen... it seems like both are separated licenses. I think it would make sense if you contact your account manager who will get in touch with a sales person on our side. I am not from sales, but from development. Hope I could help, best, Edrilan Berisha

Amith, With SAC BI?Planning license you would get SAO AFO license, no need to buy separately.

You can download the AFO for SAC from SAP Software Download portal. You can go to Support.sap.com and sign in using your S user id. Please note you would need download authorization on your S user.
