There is no public dataset on how SAP estates extract data, how exposed they are to the ODP restriction, how they load planning systems, or how predictable their integration bills are. This survey builds one. It takes twelve minutes, it is anonymous, every respondent receives the report first, and the aggregate results are published for anyone to use. Fielding runs this quarter; the report follows in the first quarter of 2027.
| Section | Questions | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Your estate | ERP versions (ECC, S/4HANA, both), other ERPs, planning applications, warehouse or lakehouse, industry, size. | Results are cut by these. |
| How you extract | Methods in use: table reads, BAPIs, CDS views, extractors, ODP over RFC, ODP over OData, HANA log, SAP's own services; add-ons installed in SAP. | The first public picture of extraction methods. |
| The ODP restriction | Awareness of Note 3255746; opt-out status; jobs affected; vendor statements received; plan and date. | How exposed the market is, six months before the opt-out ends. |
| Planning loads | Planning applications fed; cadence; hours to a first load; run-window misses; how bad records are handled; whether plans return to the ERP. | The planning-integration picture nobody has measured. |
| Bills and predictability | Pricing units in use (rows, credits, processing units, capacity); surprise invoices in the last year; tool count. | Whether bill shock is as common as reviews suggest. |
Aggregates by ERP version, industry and estate size, with the method and the cell sizes stated.
A one-page comparison of your responses with the population, for your own planning.
Aggregate tables for your own analysis, under a licence that lets you cite them.
No names, no company names and no email addresses are stored with the answers; the report delivery list is kept separately from the responses. No result is shown for a group smaller than ten. Free-text answers are quoted only with permission asked at the end of the survey.
The person who knows how the estate extracts and loads data: an SAP data owner, a Basis lead, a data engineering lead or a planning COE lead. One response per company is enough; several are welcome.
Only to send the report, if you ask for it. The delivery list is separate from the answers.
Yes. The aggregate tables are published under a licence that allows citation with attribution.
Take the survey; receive the report two weeks before anyone else.
