Applying SAP NOTES

[Former Member]

Gurus,

I am a Functional Consultant. I need an SAP Note to be applied to the system which most likely, basis team will do it for me. I just know the Note number. What kind of information do I need to give to the Basis Team .. just the SAP Note number would enough? Or would they need some other information.

Appreciate your help and points would be rewarded promptly

Just the note number is enough.. you can use the TCode SNOTE to apply an OSS Note. If you have a sandbox system, it is better to apply the note there first & test the impact..

Suresh,

Thanks for the prompt reply and useful input.

Let me ask you this follow up question also, what actually happens <b>technically</b> when someone applies a Note to the SAP system.

Thanks

The changes mentioned in the correction instructions of the Note are applied in your system If it relates to a change in a program, the source code gets modified accordingly.. if a new dictionary object like a table or a structure is added, the object gets created in your system.. this is usually tied to Transport request and moved from Dev to Qa to Prod as per the normal CTS process.. Occassionally, you might have to open the QA & Prod to apply the correction manually as SNOTE might not be applicable for all Notes.. but I found that to be very rare.. but quite possible..
