SAP Support Package Stacks

A set of support packages and patches for a product version that are best implemented together

About Support Package Stacks

Support package stacks allow you to keep productive applications up to date on a regular basis with a minimal cost of ownership.

The introduction of minimum support package stack levels gives you more flexibility in planning your maintenance activities by reducing the range of possible combinations. Benefits include:

  • Enhanced quality of single support packages - corrections are less complex 
  • SAP specifically tests combinations of support package stacks, improving the quality and compatibility
  • Download pages simplify downloading the required support packages and patches
  • Reduced time and effort needed to apply corresponding support packages and patches
  • Problems can be preempted or solved faster

You may need more than the minimum recommendations when realizing upgrade or implementation projects.

We recommend the application of support package stacks at least once a year so that all corrections can be implemented.
