Hi,

some OSS notes have corrections which needs to be done manually and some have corrections to be performed automatically.

To perform automatic implementation we use transaction SNOTE. go to thsi tranction import the OSS note and then implement.

Dear Naveen

hope that it will help you.

Pls reward if help.

The transaction code SNOTE is used to implement OSS Notes. With the SNOTE

transaction, it is no longer necessary to register ABAP objects such as report function

modules etc. manually. But data dictionary objects such as screens, tables need to

be modified manually by registering them in OSS system.

In order to use the transaction code SNOTE, the relevant transport which implement

this transaction in the system need to be transported. Please refer to the SNOTE

guide available at http://service.sap.com

What is OSS?

OSS Notes or SAP Notes (as they are called now) are a way of modifying or enhancing the SAP standard objects such as Reports, Function Modules, Data Dictionary Objects etc. as per requirement or the problem faced.

These notes contain instructions, workarounds to a problem or links to support packages that might need to be installed in order to rectify the problem.

A typical SAPNote consists of the version of the note, correction instructions and the SAP releases for which the note is valid. It also mostly has a list of related notes which might have to be implemented before the note can be used.

Now that you know a little about OSS, we’ll go about the way in which you can find a note

that is relevant to your problem. This can be achieved in two ways:

1) Through SAP Service Marketplace( http://www.servive.sap.com/notes)

2) T Code OSS1
