description: FOCUS-aligned FinOps placeholder for SAP. SAP markets a contract- and partner-mediated portfolio
  (CPEA, BTPEA, pay-as-you-go consumption units) without a public, machine-readable rate card; meters
  and billing model below are intentionally generic until per-service billing terms can be sourced.
sources:
  - https://www.sap.com
  - https://store.sap.com
notes: SAP corporate pricing and BTP Discovery Center pages are gated against automated fetches; meters
  and FOCUS columns should be reconciled per product (S/4HANA Cloud, BTP, Ariba, SuccessFactors, Concur,
  etc.) once published terms are available.
