BTP Entitlements and Quotas
A service instance on SAP BTP is a provisioned resource of a specific service and plan that an application or other service can consume. Developers create service instances in order to use an SAP BTP service, after which they create a service binding to obtain the credentials needed to connect to it. Instances can be created and managed through tools such as the Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface or the SAP BTP cockpit.

Code samples embodying this
Prerequisites
- Concept SAP BTP Commercial Models The concept name was not provided (marked as "undefined"), and the supplied source snippets cover several distinct SAP BTP topics — including [commercial models](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/263d40009a5a4237a62e8f5c05ee641e?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud), the [account model](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/8ed4a705efa0431b910056c0acdbf377?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud), entitlements, quotas, and multitenancy — without a single unifying concept to define. Please provide a specific concept name so that an accurate, grounded definition can be written.
- Concept BTP Service Entitlements Configuration The concept name is missing or undefined, so a precise definition cannot be provided. Based on the available sources, the provided snippets cover topics such as [SAP BTP trial account setup](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/fa5deb9cc4be4ca58070456cd2c47647?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud), free service plans, the btp CLI, Kyma environment management, and [account administration via the SAP Cloud Management Service APIs](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/17b6a171552544a6804f12ea83112a3f?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud), but no specific concept is identified for definition. Please provide a valid concept name to generate an accurate reference definition.
- Concept BTP Global Account and Directory Hierarchy The concept name was not provided, so a precise definition cannot be generated from the available sources. Based on the sources, a **subaccount** in SAP BTP is a subdivision of a global account that developers use to isolate environments, manage entitlements, and deploy applications. Using the [SAP BTP cockpit](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/05280a123d3044ae97457a25b3013918?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud), developers can create and [edit subaccounts](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/567d4a84bfdc428f8f3640e07261f73a?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud) to configure details such as display name, description, and region. Entitlements and quotas can also be distributed to subaccounts or directories to control access to SAP BTP services and resources.
- Concept SAP BTP Account Model The concept name was not provided, so a precise definition cannot be generated from the available sources. Based on the sources, SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) is a platform that offers users the ability to turn data into business value, compose applications, and extend SAP solutions, built around an [account model](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/8ed4a705efa0431b910056c0acdbf377?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud) that organizes access to services and resources. Developers use [environments](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/15547f7e7ecd47ee9fa052b0e18c7b0a?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud) — such as Cloud Foundry or ABAP — as the actual platform-as-a-service offering to build and deploy applications, and can choose regions representing specific geographical locations to host those applications.
- Concept Subaccount Management The concept name was not provided, but based on the sources, the subject appears to be **SAP BTP Subaccounts**. A subaccount is a structural unit within a global account on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) that developers and administrators use to organize resources, environments, and users. Using the [SAP BTP cockpit](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/55d0b6d8b96846b8ae93b85194df0944?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud), you can manage subaccounts by configuring [entitlements and quotas](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/5ba357b4fa1e4de4b9fcc4ae771609da?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud), enabling environments such as Cloud Foundry, adding users, and viewing usage analytics. Subaccounts support multi-environment setups, allowing developers to enable or create environment instances and create orgs in order to use Cloud Foundry within a subaccount.
- Concept SAP BTP Fundamentals and Platform Navigation
- Concept SAP BTP Cockpit The concept name was not provided and the supplied source snippets do not define or describe a single, identifiable SAP developer concept — they cover a range of unrelated SAP BTP topics such as Kyma environment setup, Cloud Foundry org deletion, subaccount management, and service instances. A focused definition cannot be grounded solely in these sources without a clearly stated concept to define.
- Concept SAP BTP Trial Accounts The concept name was not provided and the supplied source snippets do not define a specific SAP developer concept — they cover trial account setup, subaccount creation, entitlements, and environment onboarding on SAP BTP, but do not describe a single named concept. A definition cannot be accurately written without a clearly identified concept grounded in the sources.
- Concept SAP BTP Account Model (Global Accounts, Subaccounts, Spaces) The concept name provided is "undefined," which does not correspond to a identifiable SAP developer concept. Based on the available sources — which cover topics such as global account administration, subaccount creation, the Cloud Foundry environment, and SAP BTP account management — there is insufficient information to produce a grounded definition for a concept labeled "undefined." Please provide a valid SAP concept name so an accurate and source-grounded definition can be written.
- Concept BTP Subaccount Creation The concept name was not provided and could not be determined from the available source snippets, which cover unrelated topics such as deleting users, navigating the SAP BTP Cockpit, setting up trial accounts, and configuring entitlements. A meaningful, source-grounded definition cannot be written without a valid concept name or relevant supporting sources.
