OSS are online sap support notes. These notes are available online for solving critical problems in sap system.We may use the already existing notes or may add our own quaries.

In order to apply any OSS note, you have to be authorized by your company and be assigned an OSS ID and password.

For any SAP standard program modification, you are required to login to OSS and request for a repair program Access key.

Hi,

SAP Note is the new term for OSS. If standard SAP program

has any bug or error, SAP will provide small correction

instructions patch/note for customers to implement the

changes. You can user transaction SNOTE for downloading and

implementing note.

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.

Hi

It is Online Service System ...

With every Release SAP NOtes are released to correct the issues found with the

Release .

To access OSS you should have a OSS Notes ID and Password.

You can directly download NOtes from SAP Market PLace and Implement then them in your System via Tcode SNOTE .

After implementation the respective corrections will be reflected in the code .

Hope it helps to some extent .
