HI

There are so many differences between the version in different objects

I will explaint in two or more objects the differece

1 in the customer master in 4.6 version there is no partner function tab in the customer in xd01 tcode

and also there is no CIN tab in that vrsion

but itis there in the 4.7 EE version

This is the major change from the 4.6cc to 4.7EE

2. in 4.7EE there is some settings that are related for CIN

which cannot be done in 4.7EE that means they need some patches for doing the configuration setting for the CIN

But we can do the same in the 6.0 version

These are the some ofthe settings that are differed in the two versions and in that two objects

To answer is querry in short:

Difference Between 4.6C and 4.7 are:

1. In 4.7 the Industry Solutions like IS-OIL and IS-Retail and IS-Bank is included in the standard Package. In 4.6C these were not included.

2. In 4.7 the CIN is included as an intergral part of R/3, unlike in 4.6C where the CIN was an addendum to the standard R/3.

Diff between 4.7 and ECC 5.0:

1. 4.7 is on R/3 platform, while ECC 5.0 is on mySAP ERP 2004

2. ECC 5.0 is having ESA(enterprise Serviceoriented Architecture)

3.ECC 5.0 is web enabled with Netweaver technology.
