# What is the latest version of SAP Business One, and how to plan an upgrade > Source: https://netray.co/erp-help/what-is-the-latest-version-of-sap-business-one-upgrade-checklist > Publisher: Netray (netray.co), AI and integration engineering for ERP and manufacturing systems. > Section: ERP Help ## Short answer SAP Business One is delivered as release 10.0 with regular feature packages (FP) that add features and fixes, available for SQL Server and for SAP HANA. The current feature package changes several times a year, so check the SAP Help Portal and the Support Launchpad rather than a fixed number, then follow a tested upgrade path. ## Kind how-to ## System sap ## Erp SAP Business One ## Module Versions / Upgrades ## Query what is the latest version of sap business one ## Alternate Queries - latest version of sap business one - sap business one upgrade strategy overview - sap business one 10.0 feature package ## Applies To SAP Business One 10.0 on SAP HANA and Microsoft SQL Server; older 9.x releases follow their own maintenance schedule. ## Steps ### Find your version and plan the upgrade **Items:** - Find the current version in the client: Help > About SAP Business One shows release and patch level, and the Company database version is shown in the Administration > System Initialization > Company Details area or via the Admin console. - Open the SAP Help Portal page for Business One and the Product Availability Matrix to see the latest feature package, the supported databases and operating systems. - Read the release notes and the upgrade guide of the target feature package. List add-ons, UDFs, DI API and Service Layer integrations, and reports that touch the schema. - Ask each add-on vendor for a compatible version and certification for the target package. - Clone production to a test environment, run the upgrade there, and run a test script covering sales, purchasing, production, MRP, finance close and your integrations. - Schedule a production window, take a verified backup, upgrade the server components first and then the clients, and run the same test script again. - Keep a rollback plan: the tested backup, the previous installers and the previous add-on versions. ## Sections ### How versioning works **Body:** Business One 10.0 is the current generation. SAP ships feature packages on a regular cadence, and a feature package is cumulative, adding functionality and including earlier fixes. There are also patch levels between feature packages for corrections. Because the exact latest package changes often, quote it only after you check the official release page on the day you decide. Version support also differs by deployment: on-premise customers choose their own timing within the support window, while the hosted and cloud offerings by SAP partners or SAP follow the partner's schedule. Ask your partner which package your hosted tenant runs and how they schedule upgrades. ### Upgrade strategy: what actually breaks **Body:** Standard objects upgrade cleanly. Trouble comes from add-ons built with the DI API, UI API or older Crystal layouts, from direct SQL against tables whose structure changed, and from integrations that rely on the Service Layer or the Integration Framework with specific versions. Your test script should therefore concentrate on custom code and integrations, not just standard screens. Plan database and operating system support separately. A new feature package may drop support for an older SQL Server or OS version, which means a platform upgrade before the application upgrade. Check the PAM early because platform work has the longest lead time. ### Sequencing for several companies and sites **Body:** Business One upgrades company by company. Upgrade a small or low-risk company database first, observe it for a few days, then move the main company. Keep the client versions aligned with the server, because mismatched clients are blocked or cause errors. Document the add-on installation order and the licence server step, and verify licensing after the upgrade. Record the time each step takes in the test run so that you can size the production window honestly. ## Pitfalls - Upgrading production first because the release looks minor. - Forgetting that add-ons need a version certified for the target feature package. - Ignoring the database and OS support matrix until the maintenance window. - Letting users keep older clients that no longer match the server. - Skipping the post-upgrade check of print layouts and queries that read tables directly. ## Ai Angle Upgrade risk is mostly knowing what you customised. A read-only assistant over a copy of the company database can inventory user-defined fields, queries, stored procedures and formatted searches that touch changed objects, and summarise them for the test plan. Run it against a cloned database on your own hardware so the schema and data never leave your network. ## Faq ### What is the latest version of SAP Business One? **Answer:** The current generation is SAP Business One 10.0, updated through feature packages that SAP releases several times a year for both SQL Server and HANA. Check the SAP Help Portal for the newest package number, because it changes regularly. ### Can I skip feature packages when upgrading? **Answer:** Generally you can upgrade to a later package from a supported earlier one, but follow the upgrade guide for the supported source versions. Validate with your add-ons and run the test in a clone before production. ### Do I need new licences to upgrade? **Answer:** Maintenance customers can normally install new releases under their existing licence agreement, but confirm with your partner. The licence server may need a version update as part of the upgrade. ### How long does an upgrade take? **Answer:** It depends on database size, number of companies and add-ons. Small databases take under an hour for the conversion, while larger ones and complex add-ons take much longer. Your test run on a clone is the reliable estimate. ## Search terms latest version of sap business one, sap business one 10.0 feature package, sap business one upgrade, sap b1 version check, sap business one release notes, sap business one upgrade checklist, sap b1 product availability matrix, sap business one hana vs sql --- Talk to an engineer: https://netray.co/contact?intent=erp_ai | Machine catalog: https://netray.co/agent/catalog.json
