ECC vs. S/4HANA

At the highest level, we can differentiate SAP systems as either ECC or S/4 HANA. The main difference between
the two is the type of database they use.

• ECC stands for ERP Central Component. It is SAP’s legacy system, with roots stretching back to their very first
ERP solution in the 1970s. It can operate on any database, including third-party and, more recently, HANA.
New versions of ECC are not being released and it is expected that customers will transfer their systems over
to S/4HANA.
S/4HANA is short for SAP Business Suite 4 HANA. As the fourth version of the SAP Business Suite, it is the latest
offering from SAP. It runs only on the HANA database, which is an in-memory database developed and tuned by
SAP for faster performance and real-time reporting.
S/4HANA Versions

S/4 HANA is offered on two different platforms: On-Premise or Cloud. Both products are very similar in terms
of lines of business, coverage and functionality.

• On-Premise is located on your organization’s own servers and managed in-house. It has an annual innovation
cycle with several smaller updates each year.
• Cloud is hosted externally on SAP’s servers and maintained by SAP. It has a quarterly innovation cycle.

Until 2020, all S/4HANA versions were named after the year and month that they were released (YYMM). For
example, S/4HANA 1909 was released September 2019.

SAP revised the naming convention in 2020. Going forward, On-Premise releases will be named for the year only
(YYYY), starting with S/4HANA 2020 in October 2020. Cloud releases will continue with the YYMM naming
convention.

To look up the version of your system, go to: More > System > Status > SAP System Data > Installed Product
Versions. This will tell you the product name.

SAP ECC is the predecessor of SAP S/4HANA. As a result, ECC 6.0 EHP 618 is the final release since SAP expects
customers will transfer their systems to S/4HANA.

EHP is short for Enhancement Package. A “1” in the version number indicates that it is enabled to run on the
HANA database.

The version releases are as follows:

SAP ECC releases and SAP_APPL component versions (highlighted blue).

NetWeaver Versions

SAP NetWeaver (NW) is the underlying technology layer or software stack that ECC is built on. SAP NW can be
used for custom development and integration with other applications and systems and is most commonly build
using the ABAP programming language.
As of 2019, the most up to date version of NetWeaver is AS ABAP 7.54.

Component, S/4 HANA, and the cloud version of S/4 HANA.

CoPilot. SAP improves and updates software non-stop. HANA is a rapidly developing part of SAP. It helps align business data with artificial intelligence.
