Hello,

we recognized while comparing old to current measurements of SAP Engine, that the measurement for same period is now lower that before:

e.g.

01 June 2020: Engine xyz was metered for period 01.01.2019 to 31.12.2019 with a value of 100

01-Sept 2020: Engine xyz was metered for period 01.01.2019 to 31.12.2019 with a value of 85

SAP Engines with this problems are for example:

0370 NetWeaver Gateway - Anzahl Aufrufe des GW (ODC) pro Jahr

0372 NetWeaver Gateway - Anzahl Gateway Benutzer pro Jahr

8100 Shared Service Framework – Serviceanforderung FIN 

8101 Shared Service Framework – Serviceanforderung HR

8102 Shared Service Framework - Kontaktdatensätze 

By logic we do not see many reasons for the changes, as we did not remove any SAP systems (we just added some in between):

Possible reasons:

a) SAP data has been changed for the period between the two measurements (not very likely, that this is possible for the past). Also it happend to many engines/systems, which make it more unlikely.

b) The metering period shown in SOS is a default value in SOS and is wrong (e.g. Last 12 month instead of shown "last year")

c) The field in SAP, which defines the metering period(and is show in SOS) and which is actually used, are not the same.

Please share you thoughts and experience. Thank you in advance.
