Hi Rajkumar

You mentioned your R/3 system right now is patchlevel 2002_1_620 and level 0006 and you want to go to 2005_1_620

This is from note 821184:

**********************************************************

R/3 Plug-In and Basis Plug-In (only R/3 Enterprise, ECC 500)

The SAP Basis Plug-In is a prerequisite in SAP R/3 Enterprise. Using PI_BASIS 2005.1 with PI 2003.1 or lower is not allowed. Using PI_BASIS 2005.1 with PI 2004.1 requires patch level PI 10.

If you carry out an upgrade from PI and PI_BASIS in the SAP R/3 Enterprise System, however, you do not have to upgrade the PI_BASIS in all other SAP systems in your SAP system landscape.

**********************************************************

So, If you want to use PI_BASIS 2005.1 you have to make sure you R-3 plugin (PI) is 2004.1.

You need to upgrade both PI_BASIS and PI to 2004, because both of them must be the same level (2004.1). When they are both on that level you can implement PI-Basis 2005.1.

I don't know if you already know this: You can only upgrade from one SAP R/3 Plug-In release to the next. You cannot skip a release. This means you have to do an upgrede for both PI's from 2002_1 to 2003_1, and then from 2003_1 to 2004_1

Best regards,
