Named User Optimization for SAP Estates.

Six reclassification outcomes, drawn from field practice.

1. The nine SAP named-user types decoded. Professional, Limited Professional, Productivity, Functional, Employee, Developer, Test, Platform, and the related sub-tiers — what each type permits, what it costs relative to the others, and where the boundaries between them are determined.
2. Why 47% of users in the median estate are over-classified. The three drivers of classification drift — provisioning conservatism, role-template inheritance, and post-go-live inertia — and how each contributes to the gap between assigned tier and actual usage.
3. How to read ST03N as the source of truth. The transaction-statistics extraction methodology, the twenty-four-month aggregation window, and the mapping logic that converts measured transactions into a defensible reclassification candidate list.
4. The reclassification matrix. The decision logic that crosses the licence-type definitions with the measured transaction patterns to produce a per-user reclassification recommendation supported by evidence.
5. The pool-rebalancing economics. The pricing variances between the named-user types, the contractual provisions that permit or restrict rebalancing, and the eighteen-to-twenty-six per cent yield that downward reclassification produces against the named-user line.
6. The 270-day rule on dormant retirement. The standing inactivity threshold beyond which a user account is removed from the licensed population, and the governance cadence that holds the reclassification gains quarter by quarter.
