Using product compliance for discrete industries (PRC) after 2025

Hello experts,

Currently, the situation for product compliance for discrete industries (PRC) after 2025 remains unclear. In this case I am referring to PRC functionalities like ROHS compliance determination for components in the product piece list and Full Material declarations and not SDS authoring for the process industry.

At this moment, PRC is part of Product compliance (PC) classic capability, which runs in S4 using the compatibility pack (customizing node product safety and stewardship).

According to screenshot-1.png, new PRC functionality will come as part of the product marketibility functionality within PC New Capability. But in the road map I cannot find an officially announced replacement for the old PRC functionality. Is there already a replacement?

According to this article the use rights of the compatibility scope will expire on 31.12.2025, but the Product compliance (PC) classic capability is supported with maintream maintenance until 2029 (See screenshot-2.png).
(1) Does it mean that in 2026 the PS classic capability and the old PRC functionality cannot be used anymore as the use rights for compatibility scope ends? If that is the case then it does not make sense that the PC classic functionality is supported until 2029.
(2) Or does it mean that from 2026 onwards the use rights for the PS classic capability and the old PRC functionality cannot be purchased anymore? And who ever has purchased the use rights before 31.12.2025 can use it until 2029?


Validated information is much appreciated.
Thank you in advance
