Hi

OSS notes are the notes which are provided by SAP officially. If they found some bug or if they want to give some more information regarding the products they issue an OSS note.

You must need a SAP Martket place id to access the OSS notes.

When a new business scanerio comes up due to the legal requiement which SAP currently does not handle, it will issue an OSS notes.

If OSS notes contains the code correction, you can use th SNOTE to upload the OSS note to respective objects.

to FIND

Goto transaction SNOTE.

Now select the menu option Goto->Note Browser.

Now give the OSS note number and execute.

If it is implemented in the system, it will give you the details.

Otherwise, it will inform "Unable to find SAP Note that meets specific criteria".

SNOTE- SAP NOTE ASSISTANT,

Description

The Note Assistant (transaction SNOTE) helps you to implement SAP OSS notes. Although it

is not perfect it does generally make the application of OSS notes a much easier process. Note

assistant is at its best when all that is required is a simple code deletion/insertion into an existing

ABAP object. If the object does not exists then you will be required to do the creation bit manually,

note assistant will then be able to insert the ABAP code.

Another benefit of SAP note assistant is that it automatically prompts you to implement any

prerequisite notes that apply.

Note assistants biggest problem comes when updates have been provided by SAP but not for

general release (i.e. a specific fix for your company) or you have modified standard SAP code. If

note assistant tries to update an object which has been changed using this method then it

may have trouble inserting the code in the correct place.
