HI,

SAP Notes give you instructions on how to remove known errors from SAP Systems. They include a description of the symptoms, the cause of the error, and the SAP Release and Support Package level in which the error occurs.

Depending on the type of error, an SAP Note may also include:

· Workarounds

· Descriptions of how to correct repository objects in the ABAP workbench, known as correction instructions

· Links to Support Packages that solve the problem

You can access SAP Notes both from the SAP Service Marketplace and SAPNet - R/3 Frontend.

The Note Assistant can automatically implement only SAP Notes that have correction instructions.

Read the SAP Note carefully before you use the Note Assistant to implement it. The SAP Note can contain prerequisites, interactions, and references to postprocessing activities (making changes to a table, for example) that you must take into consideration when you implement it.

Hi,

In day-to day business, customers who are using SAP software encounters problem or bugs with SAP software. To resolve the issues faced by customers SAP has provided an on-line solution.

Log on to www.service.sap.com. Under the SAP Support Portal, click on SAP notes search. You need have a User ID and Password to enter into the site. It will be provided by the BASIS Team in the project. When they create SAP User ID, they will create SAP notes ID also.
