Some “best practice” recommendations (you may check twitter entries from Jens Gleichmann) here:
– stay on SPS5 – current Rev. 59-04 if you want to have stable environment
– use SPS6 – current Rev. 63-00 only if you need to use SPS6 new functions – DON’t use at all Rev 60,61,62 !!! see corresponding SAP Notes!!!
– switch from SPS5 to SPS7 when SPS7 “golden revision” will be available in mid/H2 2023….
