Hi Shreekant,

There could be two reasons:

Reaons 1:

Not all SAP notes involve changes to programs, some notes can also involve make configuration (SPRO) changes which need to be done manually by the system user. Hence if the note is the type, then you cannot implement it, but need to read the note and implement the correction instructions manually.

Reason 2:

The SAP version is higher than the version for which the SAP note is intended.

Now here note 398217 does make changes in a program however it's version is upto 4.6C. You can check program RLMOBINV from SE38 and go to subroutine UPDATE_TO_DATABASE and check whether the chnage indicated by the note has already been implemented. If your SAP version is > 46C then it has and hence SAP wont allow you to implement a obsolete note for this version.

HI Aditya,

I have gone through the program:RLMOBINV, and include: UPDATE_TO_DATABASE, the correction has been implemented already.

My SAP version is 4.6C.

Means the correction is implemented already, so is it showing "SAP Note does not contain valid correction

instructions"?.. please advise me.

Thanks,

Exactly Shreekant. Basically when a SAP note is created for a specific SAP release e.g. 4.6C here, it is to fix a bug in the version. Now all subsequent releases of SAP would always come with the bug fixed already, Otherwise we would end up having to apply 1000s of notes everytime we bring the latest SAP version up.

Hence, the correction related to this note is already applied and no action on your part is needed here.

Hi Shreekant

This note has a one correction instruction for SAP ver 46C . If you are on different SAP version than this error will come and not possible to implement note via tcode snote.

It's possible this note is available in your system ( if your system is above 46C).

Hi Shreekant,

Check the Note Administration and look if the note can be Implemented in your scenario. Read the prerequisties of the note.

Sometimes you need to manually implement the note by making changes in the object according to the note.
