Allevo and the SAP GUI
Our recommendation: In general, use a current release of the SAP GUI and the latest patch level.
- In earlier times, the SAP GUI was still considered part of the SAP landscape, and was therefore under the responsibility of SAP Basis. It was only updated after extensive testing in all modules.
- The following applies: SAP GUI is a Windows application and, in particular, is independent of the SAP release used. Each patch level contains numerous corrections, so a regular update will proactively protect you from errors.
- In addition, each release has its own lifecycle with an announced expiration date and extended support. This lifecycle is exactly the same as the version of the Visual Studio on which it is based.
- SAP therefore recommends you to keep always the SAP GUI as upto-date as possible. After looking at the many errors that are fixed with each patch level, it is easy to see how many problems can be avoided proactively - problems that are often difficult to trace back to their cause.
- SAP currently maintains only the version 7.60 (until 12.04.2022); 7.70 is already in the starting blocks. Both are backwards compatible with older Windows and Office versions and with all SAP releases still in use.
- Ask your IT department whether you can regularly obtain the latest releases and patch levels for the SAP GUI. Your Allevo thanks you.
FAQs
Microsoft and SAP are constantly improving and expanding their applications. They are also actively working on the integration between the two worlds, and SAP GUI in particular is a key element here.
The SAP GUI is a Windows application and is independent of the SAP release used. Each patch level contains numerous corrections, so a regular update will proactively protect you from errors. The Allevo therefore benefits if you use the most up-to-date versions of the SAP GUI.
Note: In the standard delivery of SAP GUI 7.60, the new theme "Belize" is pre-set. This requires a profound changeover of the users, mostly even a new training and adaptation of the screenshots in the documentation. We therefore recommend you to change first the theme in the SAP logon using the menu option [Options... → Visual Design → Theme Settings].
