Hello SAP Experts

Iam currently working on versin 4.5B. In near future I will be working on an upgrade project for a client from 4.6 to ECC 6. Can somebody give me a brief on what activities are involved in an upgrade project and should I increase my skills by working on ECC 6.

If possible pl provide me with a link on the difference between 4.6 and ECC 6.0.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

If it is a technical upgrade then you will have take care all your modifications like user exit and modification of Stndard access sequence and customzings. The data will not be affected.
