Summary: end of maintenance dates for SAP BPC

Last updated: 9 June 2025

SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) has long been a key solution for financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and consolidation. Yet, when SAP announced in January 2023 that they would be ending maintenance for BPC, it left many organisations to plan what is next for their SAP strategy.

As SAP BPC is three independent and separately licenced products, each of these has its own specific platform and end-of-maintenance date. Over the years, SAP has repeatedly extended the end of maintenance (EOM) dates for these products, providing customers with additional time to plan their transition strategies. However, it appears now that, combined with restrictions on sales (even for upgrades), the maintenance dates are now firmly set and not likely to be relaxed again.

*Please note as of May 2025, the EOM dates for BW/4HANA versions have been updated

Here are the current release dates announced by SAP as of June 2025: 

There were some recent changes announced to BPC version for BW/4HANA:

• BPC 11.1
  • BW/4HANA 2.0: updated to 31.12.2025
  • Interestingly, if you are running the ABAP App Server on Windows, then the latest versions supported is Windows Server 2019:
    • Mainstream Support End Date: January 9, 2024
    • Extended Support End Date: January 9, 2029 (Critical Security Updates Only for Free)
• BPC 2021 
  • BW/4HANA 2021:          31.12.2027 (Supports upto Windows Server 2019)
  • BW/4HANA 2023:          31.12.2030 (Supports upto Windows Server 2022)

• BPC 2025 - this is the version S/4HANA 2025 version yet to be released and the BPC component is to be officially confirmed.

SAP Note 3362512 (Released On: 24.02.2025), talks about the above as does the PAM.  

• “SAP BW/4HANA product line will be aligned with the SAP S/4HANA maintenance extension and will be maintained until at least 2040.” But goes on to say “However, this is not decided yet by the higher management of SAP. You will get an announcement from SAP if there is an extension for the current release or new release.”
