SAP Extends Compatibility Packs Transition Period to May 2026
SAP has announced a final five-month extension for Compatibility Packs for SAP S/4HANA on premise, moving the expiration date from 31st December 2025 to the end of May 2026.
What Are Compatibility Packs?
Compatibility Packs provide temporary usage rights that allow certain classical SAP ERP functionalities to operate within SAP S/4HANA. They're designed to ease migration and maintain business continuity for customers moving from SAP ERP to SAP S/4HANA.
Key Details
The original deadline of 31st December 2025 has been extensively communicated to customers, partners and user groups and is documented here. However, recognising that several customers need additional time to manage this transition, SAP is offering this final extension to provide greater choice and flexibility.
What This Means for Customers
Alongside this extension, SAP will offer tailored programmes for customers moving to the respective SAP Cloud solutions that replace the compatibility pack functionalities.
If you're affected by this change, we encourage you to contact your SAP representative.
