Former Member

Hello,

We are currently on 4.6C and planning to upgrade to either 4.7 or ECC 6.0. Just the basis upgrade(no new functionality). We would like to know the main differences between 4.7 and ECC 6.0 and what are advantages in upgrading directly to ECC 6.0 instead of 4.7 with repect to the upgrade cost. I'll appreciare if you could advice on this.

Regards,

Ram Enaganti

4.7 is already out of maintenance.

The technical upgrade is the same, you may, however, need more hardware for ERP 6.0. I'd neverless not upgrade to 4.7 because it's already out of maintenance.

upgrading to 4.7 or 6.0 is about the same amount of work. so, better go to ECC 6.0 directly... and as Markus already mentionned, 4.7 is out of maintenance.

Hello Marcus & Eric,

Thank you very much for your response.

We are looking at 4.7 option due to lower upgrade cost. So can you please let me know if there is any document that tells us main differences b/w 4.7 and ECC 6.0 and advantages in going to ECC 6.0.

Regards,

Ram.

How did you calculate your upgrade costs? If you want to run 4.7 you need an extended maintenance contract, otherwise you won't get support, neither during the upgrade nor after the upgrade for the production system. Those extended maintenance contract are more expensive than the normal contracts for supported versions (such as ERP 6.0). So finally using an out-of-maintenance system will cost more maintenance on an annual base.

Hello Markus,

there is another thread at "SAP ERP 6.0 Upgrade" forum ::

where the same question is posted.

I think that this topic should be discussed at "SAP ERP 6.0 Upgrade" forum.

Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina
