• Key Concepts: 
  End of purpose check is a feature of SAP’s Data Protection and Privacy (CA-DPP) component. It is used to ensure that data is only used for the purpose it was collected for, and that it is not used for any other purpose. It also helps to ensure that data is not shared with any third parties without the explicit consent of the data subject. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The end of purpose check feature can be enabled in the SAP system by setting up a “purpose check” rule. This rule will specify the purpose for which the data can be used, and will also specify any restrictions on how the data can be used. Once this rule is set up, the system will automatically check that any data being used is only being used for its intended purpose. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a purpose check rule, it is important to make sure that all relevant data fields are included in the rule. This will ensure that all data is checked against the rule before it is used. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update the purpose check rule to ensure that it remains up-to-date with any changes in data usage or regulations.
