The USMM & LAW Measurement Checklist.

Six learning outcomes, drawn from 500+ measurement engagements.

1. The forty-eight checks SAP runs against your USMM output. Reverse-engineered from observed audit behaviour across ECC, S/4HANA, and BW landscapes — every check you should run on yourself first.
2. How to extract transaction usage from ST03N for audit defence. The four data sets to pull, the twenty-four month window to model, and the classification logic that turns raw statistics into a defensible position.
3. The Named User type decision matrix. Professional, Limited Professional, Employee, Employee Self-Service, Developer, and the eight other classifications — what each actually entitles, and where the contractual ambiguity favours the customer.
4. Engine measurement reconstruction for HANA, BW, and SCM. Why SAP's standard engine-measurement scripts produce inflated outputs, and how to reconstruct the contractually defensible position from system tables.
5. The dormant-user retirement protocol. The four-step process to identify, validate, and deactivate dormant users before USMM is run — and the documentation that protects the position in the audit conversation.
6. How to submit measurement output without conceding the position. The written framing, the supporting documentation, and the procedural notes that preserve every defensive lever for the negotiation phase.
