Hi Anshuman Singh,

A patch corrects errors in the R/3 System or makes necessary adjustments, for example, due to legal changes. The objects affected are replaced in your system.

Each patch is valid for only one release (but for all databases and operating systems) and has an exactly defined number of predecessors. The upgrade of the following release or correction release contains all the patches of the previous versions that were available up to the delivery of the upgrade.

SPAM ensures that patches are applied only in the order dictated by the serial number.

To avoid problems, apply every patch as soon as it is available. This keeps your system up-to-date.
