SAP BRIM: An Overview and Key Considerations

What Is SAP BRIM?

SAP BRIM (Billing Revenue Innovation Management) is a modular application designed to support business activities and high-volume transactions associated with SAP customers’ billing and revenue processes. SAP BRIM, formerly known as SAP Hybris Billing, consists of four core components: Subscription Order Management, SAP Convergent Charging, SAP Convergent Invoicing, and Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.

Organizations can leverage SAP BRIM as the component of a solution within SAP S/4HANA or as an integrated standalone module with SAP S/4HANA. The SAP Business Suite is also required to run SAP BRIM. Additionally, SAP recommends implementing the latest release of SAP Business Suite with SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud.
