Hi,

The exact difference is it depends.

Due to business requirements there is a need to change standard SAP repository objects time and again. Now suppose you have applied a patch and it has changed the standard object modified by you then in order to retrieve back your changes you need to use SPAU and SPDD. SPAU is for report,function module etc kind of changes and SPDD is for adjusting changes to standard SAP tables.
