Hi,

<b>Conversion</b> :

Migration of data from Legacy to SAP system using BAPI or BDC, similar to what is written in the above post.

<b>Modifications</b>:

These are changes to SAP Repository objects made at the customer site. If SAP delivers a changed version of the object, the customer's system must be adjusted to reflect these changes. It may be :

-> Non-registered Modification or

-> Assisted Modification.

User Exits may be used for this purpose.

Other similar but different terms are :

<b>Enhancements</b> :

This means creating Repository objects for individual customers that refer to objects that already exist in the SAP Repository.

Advantages : It is Compatible with future releases.

It Does not affect the sap code.

<b>Customer Developments</b>:

This means creating Repository objects unique to individual customers in a specific namespace reserved for new customer objects.
