OSS Notes are notes provided by SAP which are used to report known problems and fixes. In some cases, these notes can have correction instructions attached to them and can automatically be implemented into your system via transactoin SNOTE. You can service SAP Notes at the service market place service.sap.com

Hi,

OSS notes or SAP Notes (OSS is the old term!) are corrections/fixes found in the SAP service marketplace. A note can range from simple consulting type advice to complex corrections and corrective steps.

There are two ways to connect to the notes search system. They are:

1. The web frontend via your browser at http://service.sap.com/notes

2. The SAPGUI for Windows frontend via transaction OSS1 in your SAP system. [must be preconfigured by your system administrators]

The notes contain instructions and in some cases code corrections. The code can be applied manually via the developer tools or via transaction SNOTE which will try to automatically step you through the application process.

Where the correction is complex and/or not a high priority it maybe that the code is delivered in a Support package and no "advance" code is provided. In this case you have to apply a collection of fixes together at once. This is usually done by your system administrators.

Please check this link for more information on how to use SNOTE.

Hi,

Yet another important use of the oss notes will be to download latest support patches and correction instructions for the various errors that we might encounter!

Suggest you have a look at service.sap.com

Thanks
