Apply OSS note

Former Member — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 10:10:40 GMT

Hi ppl,

I need to apply the OSS note 47426 in our system.

But, when I download the note using transaction SNOTE, the Implementation status appears as Cannot be implemented.

Please let me know how can I apply this note.

The solution offered in the note is:

Use the following program to deactivate the indicator "Manage quantities" for the

combination of controlling area/cost element/cost center/fiscal year.

You can also find the program as an ASCII file on SAPSERV3 in the directory

/dist/permanent/Note.0047426/ZKACOR21

Please could somebody explain how to use this solution.

Regards.

Hi,

The status Cannot be implemented will be in cases when the note is not applicable to your system or if there is some manual things to be done which cannot be done via SNOTE.

I suppose in your case manual corrections have to be done.

Probably there is some Z report which is to be created and run.

Check the note details on service.sap.com

From the number, the SAP Note appears to be VERY old.... Before attempting to implement a note via transaction SNOTE, it is important to read the note, see what version of SAP R/3 or whatever it applies to, what support package it is in. Then, if you think the package has not yet been applied to your system, check with Basis for version/package, etc.

For example, a note that says it is in 3.1i package 6 would NOT be applied to a 4.70 system, because EVERYTHING covered by prior notes, created prior to 4.70 would have been corrected and implemented when the system was upgraded to 4.70. Applying an old note in this case wil break something, probably.... On the other hand, if you're running ECC 6.0 at support package 2 and the correction you need is in support package 4, advance correction via SNOTE might be the correction needed.

So, bottom line, always be sure the note is actually applicable to your current SAP version and support package level.

Hi Dave,

The note is not pertaining to any particular release. It is release independent.

Normally you should find the file on the SAP application server (Server where SAP is installed on) metioned in the note.

A system administator should be able to help you to find the file.

Hi Dave,

I can't understand what is written in the note. Obviously ther must be a program 'ZKACOR21'. I searched notes for this and found

Note 175522 - ZKACOR21/ZKACOR21R - program for deleting CO documents

There is another note that I think is more likely to help you:

Note 6769 - Warning message KI226 Assign quantity for account &

You can still create a note for SAP and ask them how to implement OSS note 47426.

And, btw, you should have mentioned the note number in your subject. The subject is used to give the best possible short description of the body.

And: No need to ask basis to search on your server. There is no directory /dist/permanent. This may be on the service marketplace server.
