❗ Note that “ version sequence” does not mean necessary update path: you can update an SAP ERP 6.0 EHP2 system directly to EHP7Īgain, like described in the first blog, some software components may even stay to lower version as well, depending on your choice of technical usages during update. That way, you still find a correlation between SAP APPL software component version number and EHP number.

Now the next increase takes us from 6.16 to 6.17. So the version number for SAP APPL was increased from 6.06 to 6.16, as one example. With this, the versions of the software components had to be increased. 17 and not 6.07?Īfter “EHP6 for SAP ERP 6.0”, the “EHP6 for SAP ERP 6.0, version for HANA” was made available, exclusively for the SAP HANA database. And for SAP APPL, development and adaptions have been done, so it becomes 6.17. I know that you have already anxiously examined other details in the figure … how about SAP HR? And SAP APPL? No further development has taken place in software component SAP HR, so it remains with 6.04. ℹ Only a part of all software components are shown in this figure Software Component Version numbering again So finally business (“Suite”) and technology (“NW”) use the same SAP NetWeaver foundation! This applys to the other parts of the SAP Business Suite as well (SAP CRM, SAP SRM, SAP SCM).Īnd with respect to the software component versions, both use SAP BASIS 7.40 and SAP ABA 7.40, see picture.

The next nice thing of the story is: this version is based on SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.4. Even the kernel has version 7.40 now – I skipped this part of the SAP software world in my first blog – and you know why 🙂 SAP ERP 6.0 EHP7Īnd now to the business part of the SAP software: we have the EHP7 for SAP ERP 6.0, which is part of SAP Business Suite 7 Innovations 2013. The product SAP NetWeaver 7.4 is using software components that have corresponding numbers, like SAP BASIS 7.40 and SAP ABA 7.40, to pick out two prominent examples. The first nice part of the story is: things are becoming simpler. This blog focuses on the software versioning part of the story only, and on the ABAP part of SAP ERP: the SAP ERP – ECC server. Now in this blog, the journey on product releases and software component versions for SAP ERP and SAP NetWeaver continues, trying to dissolve latest mysteries.Ī lot of news are out with the general availability of SAP products like SAP NetWeaver 7.4 (see SAP NetWeaver 7.4 made Generally Available (GA)) and SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0. ℹ This is the continuation of my previous blog Why SAP ERP 6.0 EHP6 contains SAP BASIS 7.31 which you should have read before starting with this one.
