Hi Vladimir,

Enhancement Package 4 includes Enhancement Package 3 (cummulative). But in terms of installation packages SAP decided to provide the packages for EHP3 and on top the delta package for EHP4. It would have been an option to include all changes in 3 directly in the EHP4 package (as done for EHP2 and EHP3), but then customers starting the update from an installed EHP3 would have to go though all the SPAU conflict resolution already done. Hence only the delta package is offered and the update to Enhancement Package 4 from lower EHP3 automatically includes the EHP3 package.

Best regards,

Thank you! This is exactly what I wanted to understand.

By the way - what about EHP 5 and further? Will they also be released as delta to previous one?
