Your ERP Is Changing. Your Revenue Management Tools Should Be Too.
SAP® ECC reaches end-of-life December 31, 2027. Legacy pricing, rebate, chargeback, and promotion tools built for ECC cannot be retrofitted to SAP S/4HANA®. IMA360 is ERP-agnostic, integration-first, and clean-core compliant, giving you program continuity from day one of your migration.

Why S/4HANA Migrations Break Your Revenue Programs
Your SAP ECC system carries years of customized pricing, rebate, chargeback, promotion, and incentive logic. When you move to S/4HANA, that logic does not translate. Legacy bolt-on tools built for ECC's architecture fail on the new platform. You face three options: rebuild, replace, or risk program failure.
- Legacy Revenue Tools Cannot Be Retrofitted. Tools built for SAP ECC were written against its data model. S/4HANA uses a simplified one, so program logic written for ECC generally has to be redesigned rather than carried across. In the migrations we have run, that redesign has been a project in its own right, on top of the ERP migration.
- Clean Core Mandates Block Embedded Tools. SAP describes a clean core approach that keeps custom development out of the ERP. Where rebate logic was built inside the ERP, moving toward that approach generally means relocating the logic rather than keeping it in place.
- Program Continuity Breaks During Cutover. Rebuilding pricing, rebate, promotion, and chargeback programs post-cutover creates a blind window where you cannot execute programs, track margin leakage, or process accruals. Finance and revenue ops teams lose visibility into margin-critical operations.
- Switching Costs Are Historically High. During ERP migration, your implementation team is already mobilized, business processes are being redesigned, and stakeholders are aligned on change. This is the rare window where the switching cost for your rebate tool is lowest.
Replace Your Legacy Tools Without Rebuilding Your Programs
IMA360 is purpose-built for organizations migrating to S/4HANA. We handle pricing, rebates, chargebacks, promotions, discounts, and incentive management as a standalone, ERP-agnostic platform. No rebuilding, no embedded code, no synchronized upgrades.
- Completely Decoupled from Your ERP. IMA360 connects to S/4HANA via standard APIs, not embedded code or custom developments. We abstract the complexity, pull what we need, and deliver clean pricing, rebate, and revenue management. If you migrate to a different ERP tomorrow, IMA360 comes with you.
- Months, Not Years to Go Live. Our Integration Studio connects to S/4HANA using pre-built connectors, RFC, batch interfaces and REST APIs. No ERP-side development and no SAP basis expertise required. Customers go from kickoff to live in 3 to 12 months during their migration window.
- No Conflict with SAP's Modern Strategy. IMA360 operates completely outside your ERP. We do not extend, customize, or embed. You get to implement SAP's clean core strategy without compromise and without dual-maintenance headaches.
- Your Platform Evolves Without Breaking Programs. We push feature updates and SAP connector updates continuously. Zero coordination needed with your SAP upgrade cycles. Your rebate programs run uninterrupted while we improve in the background.

Customer Self-Service Portal
Optionally expose rebate and chargeback balances to customers via self-service portal. Reduce support overhead and improve transparency.
What S/4HANA Migration Customers Achieve with IMA360
Organizations that move their rebate and chargeback management to IMA360 during ERP migration see measurable improvements from day one.
Customers typically discover 2 to 5 percent of margin is hidden in legacy tool blind spots. IMA360's visibility and audit trails expose and recover that leakage immediately post-migration.
Pre-configured templates and guided onboarding get your team running during the migration window, in 3 to 12 months scoped to complexity.
IMA360's visual program builder and approval workflows compress design and sign-off cycles. Finance and operations teams approve programs 60 percent faster than traditional tools.
Rebates, chargebacks, trade promotions, and incentive management in one system. Eliminate tool sprawl, reduce training needs, and cut operational overhead.
Rebate Tooling Inside the ERP vs. IMA360 for S/4HANA Migrations
About this comparison. This addresses rebate and chargeback tooling that was built inside an SAP ECC system, whether as a vendor solution extension or as your own custom development. It is not a statement about any particular vendor, and vendors that offer cloud products outside the ERP are not described here. The distinction matters because logic that runs inside the ERP is coupled to it. In the migrations we have run, that has meant the logic is rebuilt or revalidated as part of the S/4HANA move. Where a timeline is given it is IMA360’s own, scoped to contract volume and customization.
| Capability | Rebate Logic Built Inside ECC | IMA360 |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment Location | Runs inside the SAP ECC system | External to the ERP. Works alongside SAP, Oracle, Microsoft or others |
| What the S/4HANA Move Involves | Program logic inside the ERP is rebuilt or revalidated as part of the migration | No ERP-side rebuild. 3 to 12 months, scoped to complexity |
| Code in the ERP | Delivered as extensions or custom development inside the ERP | None. Nothing installed in your ERP |
| Integration | Through the ERP’s own interfaces, because it runs inside it | RFC, batch and REST APIs, across SAP and non-SAP systems |
| Changing a Program | Where logic has been customized, changes follow the ERP release process | Business users configure directly |
| Upgrade Path | Follows the ERP release cycle | Updated independently of your ERP |

Frequently asked questions
What if we are not migrating to S/4HANA yet?
If you are on SAP ECC but not yet committed to S/4HANA, IMA360 still replaces legacy pricing, rebate, and incentive tools with a modern, flexible platform. Many customers migrate their revenue programs to IMA360 first, then migrate their ERP later. You get the benefits immediately. When S/4HANA migration starts, you are already positioned.
Can we run IMA360 alongside our current tools during cutover?
Yes. Most customers run both systems in parallel for 1 to 3 months during cutover to ensure program accuracy and build team confidence in IMA360. After you have validated that rebate calculations, chargebacks, and accruals match perfectly, you cut over fully. This parallel run adds cost but eliminates risk for margin-critical operations.
How long does implementation actually take?
A typical implementation takes 3 to 12 months from kickoff to production. That assumes standard rebate and chargeback program structures and our pre-built S/4HANA connector. Larger or more complex environments sit at the longer end of that range.
Will we lose data when we switch to IMA360?
No. We extract your historical pricing, rebate, and chargeback data from your existing system and migrate it to IMA360 as reference data. You retain full audit history and can reference legacy accruals. Current-period programs are re-created in IMA360 from scratch based on your business rules, giving you a fresh start with modern data hygiene.
What if we want to change to a different ERP after S/4HANA?
That is exactly the point of ERP-agnostic architecture. IMA360 connects via APIs. Whether you switch to Oracle®, Microsoft, NetSuite, or another platform, we adapt our connectors to the new ERP. Your pricing, rebate, and incentive programs stay in IMA360 untouched.
What systems can IMA360 replace during an ERP migration?
IMA360 replaces ERP-embedded rebate and chargeback tools, standalone pricing and rebate platforms, and custom-built or spreadsheet-based processes for rebate, chargeback, and incentive management. Because IMA360 is ERP-agnostic and API-first, it works alongside any ERP system, including through an S/4HANA migration.
How does pricing work?
IMA360 pricing is based on transaction volume, program complexity, and the number of concurrent users. Most customers offset the cost within the first year by capturing the 2 to 5 percent margin leakage recovery. We discuss pricing specifics during your demo.
What support do we get during and after implementation?
Full support. We assign a dedicated implementation manager, provide technical and functional SMEs, and train your team on the platform. Post-go-live, you get 24/5 support with escalation to 24/7 if needed, quarterly business reviews, and a customer success team that helps you optimize and evolve your programs.
Complexity Simplified. Your Results Amplified.
Stop Rebuilding Your Revenue Programs. Start Migrating Your ERP.
December 31, 2027 is closer than you think. The organizations that move their pricing, rebate, and incentive management to IMA360 first will migrate to S/4HANA months faster than those caught rebuilding legacy tools.
