• Key Concepts: 
  Price protection period is a feature of the IS-HT-SW Software Management component of SAP. It allows customers to purchase software at a fixed price for a certain period of time, regardless of any price changes that may occur during that period. This helps customers to budget for their software purchases and ensures that they are not affected by any unexpected price increases. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The price protection period can be set up in the SAP system by the customer. The customer can specify the length of the period, as well as the fixed price they wish to pay for the software during that period. Once the period has been set up, any software purchased during that time will be charged at the fixed price, regardless of any changes in the market price. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that the price protection period only applies to software purchased during the specified time frame. Any software purchased after the end of the period will be subject to the current market price. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is entered correctly when setting up the price protection period, as any mistakes could lead to incorrect pricing.
