What is the earliest SAP R/3 release that will support a direct upgrade to SAP ERP?

As long as no technical restrictions apply, SAP R/3 3.1I is the earliest release

from which customers can directly upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0. However, for

upgrades that also include the installation of SAP enhancement packages, the

following minimum requirements apply for a one-step upgrade:

•

Current situation: Customers running releases between SAP R/3 4.0B software

and the mySAP ERP 2004 application can directly upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0 and

include enhancement package 4 in the upgrade process.

•

I n the future: Customers running releases between SAP R/3 4.6C software and

the mySAP ERP 2004 application can directly upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0 and

include SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 in the upgrade process

upon availability. Availability (release to customer) of SAP enhancement package

5 for SAP ERP 6.0 is planned for December 2010. (This reflects the current

planning status. All planned availability dates are subject to change).
