Set a common baseline
Give each bidder the same employee counts, modules, countries, integrations, migration volumes, environments, service levels, and implementation dates. Record any assumption the supplier changes.

Pricing guide
SAP pricing and cost planning
Use published list prices where they are available, or enter figures from your quote. Every estimate shows what is included and excluded.
Contact the vendor for pricing
No current public list price is available for this product.
Ask the vendor to itemise subscription scope, implementation, integrations, support, environments, data migration, and any minimum commitment.

Packaging
What to expect in the proposal
- Contingent workforce and services procurement are distinct Fieldglass areas; integrations with S/4HANA, Ariba, and SuccessFactors require separate implementation.
- Employee Central is the core HR product; payroll, advanced time, analytics, talent, and service delivery have separate product scope.
- The ESM license includes employee self-service and agent experiences; SAP notes it replaces Employee Central Service Center in the UI.
- WFA on HANA and WFA on SQL have different source architectures; SAP Analytics Cloud and Workforce Planning are connected but distinct scope.
- The solution family spans Succession, Career Development, Mentoring, Opportunity Marketplace, Learning, and Talent Intelligence touchpoints; entitlements should be checked.
- Advanced valuation-period results and related functions require a SuccessFactors Time Tracking license.
Quote checklist
Normalise every proposal
- Named products, modules, and user populations
- One-time implementation and migration work
- Integration, environment, and support costs
- Contract term, uplift, minimums, and exit costs
Total-cost method
Turn the SAP quote into a comparable business case
A subscription figure is only useful when every vendor is priced against the same scope, population, delivery responsibilities, and contract period.
Separate recurring and one-time cost
Model subscription, implementation, data work, integration, testing, training, support, partner services, travel, and internal staffing separately. Apply contractual uplifts across the full term.
Test commercial risk
Ask what triggers additional fees, how unused licences are handled, whether modules have minimums, what renewal protections apply, and what data extraction or transition support costs at exit.
