The SAP Named User Buckets Guide.

Six learning outcomes, drawn from 500+ engagements.

1. How a 41% USMM reduction was achieved on a 14,200-user Fortune 500 estate. The classification audit, the reclassification logic, and the seven user-population segments that drove the reduction.
2. The eight Named User types decoded. Professional, Limited Professional, Employee, Employee Self-Service, Developer, Productivity, Platform, and Test users — what each one entitles, where the boundaries sit, and where SAP's interpretation diverges from contract text.
3. The bucket-rebalancing playbook. Why a 1,000-licence Professional bucket and a 2,500-licence Employee bucket can be restructured into a 600 / 2,900 split that costs forty-two per cent less under standard SAP price lists.
4. The classification drift audit. The technical method for identifying users whose actual transaction footprint no longer matches their assigned bucket, drawn from ST03N statistical data over a twenty-four month window.
5. The contractor classification trap. Why contingent workers, third-party developers, and shared service-account users routinely sit in the wrong bucket — and the contractual language to fix the position before audit.
6. The pre-USMM cleanup sequence. The fifteen-step technical procedure that recovers an average $1.4M in licence value per 10,000-user estate before the measurement transaction is run.
