5. S/4HANA On-Premise Versions
In addition to the major annual releases for On-Premise S/4HANA shown on the previous slide, SAP generally ships
several updates for each version per year.
• The first two updates are called Feature Pack Stacks (FPS) and contain new features.
• Support Pack Stacks (SPS) are smaller updates that come later in the version’s lifecycle and contain bug fixes only.
