Hi,

as you can see from [SAP Note 1377082|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1377082], you can use either EP 7.0 or EP 7.01 or EP 7.02 (please see the note for the required SPs) with SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0.

Kind regards,

Hi All,

Kindly assist on the doubt below,

We are using the SAP EP 7.01 as our front end, do we need to upgrade to SAP EP 7.02 as minimum requirement for PPM 5.0?

What is the dependency of newer version on WD4J?

Thanks,

Hi,

yes, indeed, I meant Total Cost of Ownership with TCO.

Hi Florian,

Thanks for you answer.

When you talk about TCO, you mean total cost of ownership?

Hi,

from a functionality point of view, standalone and portal usage of SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0 are the same (except functionality which is in general only available within a portal, e.g. KM documents, collaboration rooms, etc.).

From a TCO perspective, for the standalone usage you'll only need the ABAP stack (except for ADS), i.e. if you don't anyway already have a portal in use in your company, this could lead to a lower TCO.

Kind regards,

Florian
