Hi,

the current basis version is 7.0 (or even 7.1)

What formerly was called basis is now called SAP NetWeveaver Application Server (ABAP)

R/3 is an SAP system with many business applications running in it, e.g. Financials, Controlling, Logistics, and so on

Technically the follow up release of SAP R/3 Enterprise (4.7) is SAP ECC 6.0

So if you do an upgrade from R/3 4.6C you would go to ECC 6.0

From the license point of view the follow up from R/3 is SAP ERP (6.0).

The basis for SAP ECC 6.0 is SAP NetWeaver AS 7.0

Still many customers use R/3 4.6C but an upgrade wave to ECC 6.0 is going on.

Regards,

Hai, Madhu wins2.

Answer for your first question.

R/3 is the comprehensive set of integrated business applications from SAP, the German company that states it is the market and technology leader in business application software. R/3 replaced an earlier system, R/2, which is still in use. R/3 uses the client/server model and provides the ability to store, retrieve, analyze, and process in many ways corporate data for financial analysis, production operation, human resource management, and most other business processes.

A recent release of R/3 makes it possible to get to the R/3 database and applications through Internet access and Web browsers. A sd ales representative can initiate the workflow for a sales order by filling out an electronic form on a laptop that will be "translated" into input for the R/3 system. Other interfaces such as Lotus Notes can also be used. The Web implementation adheres to the Workflow Client API standard of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC).

A more recent version of R/3 adds features designed to speed product delivery by helping to manage the supply chain.

Insufficient data in the second question.
