BTP
SAP's cloud platform for building extensions, integrations and data applications outside the core system, communicating with the S/4HANA core through released APIs; it is a key vehicle for Clean Core practices.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Clean Core Level A requires using only publicly released, stable interfaces backed by a formal stability contract, built on BTP or in-stack via ABAP Cloud.
The BTP bundle's capacity is designed for scenarios interconnecting SAP systems, and a customer of moderate complexity may hit the capacity ceiling within 90 days.
The standard SAP S/4HANA RISE package includes S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition licenses, infrastructure hosting, SOLA support and a BTP base bundle (Integration Suite, Extension Suite and Event Mesh with limited capacity), but does not include Premium Engagement.
BTP consumption exceeding the bundle may lead to additional costs of $50,000 to $400,000 per year.
BTP (Business Technology Platform) is SAP's cloud platform, used to build extensions, integrations and data applications outside the core system, and the services on it talk to the S/4HANA core through published APIs.
The official definition of Clean Core contains three levels: no modification (not directly changing standard code), no implicit extension (not relying on unpublished internal interfaces, tables or function modules), and contract-based extension (all custom logic interacting with the core through published APIs, BAdIs or BTP services).
Clean Core is an architectural principle that SAP has heavily promoted in recent years, whose core requirement is to keep the S/4HANA standard core unmodified by customers (no modifying standard code, no directly writing to standard tables), with all extensions implemented through released APIs, the BTP extension framework, or side-by-side extensions.
The SAP clean core principle requires implementing custom logic through parallel extensions (deployed on BTP) or released APIs rather than directly modifying SAP standard code, to ensure the system can be upgraded smoothly and reduce technical debt.
