Suite On Hana With the maintenance extension of the ERP 6.0 to 2027 versions, SAP has extended the deadline for its clients to migrate to S/4, however, this extension only affects systems based on ERP 6.0 EHP6 or higher, end of maintenance dates for older versions will remain to be 2025.
With this extension, clients have a reasonable amount of time to plan their conversion to S/4, but the fact that the S/4 conversion horizon is still some way off doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t carry on updating our ERP system.
Projects such as Enhancement Package Upgrading, Conversion to Unicode or Migrating the Database to HANA, are moves that will make any future conversion to S/4 easier, as well as offering additional functionality, in some cases similar to the equivalent in S/4.
