Hi all

I have got a few doubts in upgradation.Suppose SAP has done modification to a standard program in MM module in version 4.7.Then What they will call this new version of SAP. Whether this is a new version or a new release. Why so many subversion's are coming like 4.7E 4.7Release etc....Whenever a modification comes to a standard program or a transaction whether they will change the version or what. Please give me a proper answer.

Regards

Biju

Hi Biju,

Generally when a new version is released this new release contains new set of functionalities.The version numbers are indicative for this.

Whenever some SAP standard programs are modified either to rectify bugs or enhance functionality a service pack is created and released.This has to be applied by the customer.This is not same as a new version.

In the Eg given by you Suppose SAP has done modification to a standard program in MM module in version 4.7. then there will be a service pack(SP) applied to version 4.7.There is a regular cycle of SP's which are released.To give an analogy SPs are something like Updates.

Regards,

Sourabh
