A SAP Note XXXXXX is being downloaded message will appear in the bottom status bar. If you get a communications error message, verify that saprouter is up and try again.

Once the SAP Note has been downloaded, it will appear on the Assistant - Version XXX\XXXX: Worklist screen under the SAP Notes u2192 New navigation tree. The SAP Note can only be applied if there is a blue box with a black arrow to the left of the note number. If there is a gray diamond instead, the downloaded note cannot be applied or is not application for this SAP system.

To apply the SAP Note, on the Note Assistant - Version XXX\XXXX: Worklist screen double click on the downloaded SAP Note number.

On the Note Assistant u2013 Display Note XXXXXX screen, read the note text to see if there are any necessary manual tasks to be performed after the note is applied. When you are ready to apply the note, click on the clock picture-icon.

Before applying any SAP Notes to your SAP system, a Confirmation: SAP Note read popup will appear. Once you have read the information contained in this popup, click the Yes button.

Click the green u221A to continue.

On the Prompt for transportable Workbench request popup, click the blank page picture-icon to create a new change request. On the Create Request popup, fill in the Short description and click the Save picture-icon. You will be returned to the Prompt for transportable Workbench request popup which contains the generated change request number for this system change. Click the green u221A to continue.

On the Set Processing Status for Note XXXXXX popup, click on the Completed line to turn u201Conu201D the radio button. Click the green u221A. You can now leave the SNOTE transaction. Modified programs, functions, etc. may require recompilation.

If the OSS note you applied changed a ABAP program, you must go to the SE38 transaction and manually recompile the program. If it changed a function, go to transaction SE37 and click the Single Test button u2013 this is enough to force the function to rebuild and you can back out of the SE37 transaction.
