Hi
On-line Support System is a service that SAP offers to their customers in order to manage situation in which you have to involve SAP in order to find a solution to your problem...if there are some errors in the std program, SAP can provide a note that contains the instructions to solve the issue..but notes are related also to FAQ, performance issues, consulting....
you can search for a note by www.service.sap.com/notes or from your system with the transaction OSS1..
Time to time SAP releases solutions of our (SAP) product as in form of notes. So it is just explanation of problem in SAP. You can use as a details of soln of your problem.
OSS Note are nothing but correction/enhancement codes for a bug or error. When SAP releases a product it may have some bugs which are discovered later. Hence SAP releases the correction code as a OSS Note.
We raise OSS notes when we are not able to resolve some of the issues or say some standard functionality/feature is not working out in BW and we ask help from SAP to resolve those. In turn, SAP comes back with a solution documented as an OSS note.
You can logon into http://service.sap.com/notes
OSS note is a document provided by SAP that described particular issue, usually with symptom, cause(the reason), solution provided, and some other info (correction instruction and code).
OSS note has version, date issued, and categorized to application area (e.g BW, CRM, etc).
Check my thread below.. it will definately solve your issue..
Where to find SAP note?

OSS note and SAP Note

Dear experts
Can Anyone kindly clear me the difference between
1.OSS note and SAP Note.
2.SAP Patch and Support Packages.
Thanx in advance
Regards
G.Reddy.

OSS Note and SAP Note are the same thing.
Support Package / Support Package Stack refers to a group of corrections and/or enahcnements which include a group of OSS Notes, and changes to multiple components that SAP has tested as a group and recommends be installed together.
I think Patch may be a little more ambigous. For some, they might mean Support Package when they use the term Patch, or maybe even an OSS Note. SAP also refers to updates to some components as Patches, e.g. they release database patches, and with BW, the BW SAPGUI Addon is also sometimes referred to as the Front End Patch.

Details of OSS Note in SAP tables

Hi Experts,
Do we have any standard report or a simple way by which I can get all the contents of a specific OSS note without going into SNOTE transaction. The reason why I am asking is for analysing a large volume of OSS notes. If I need to go through SNOTE and then find the objects it will be tedious. I know the table where in these details are there but I want to know if there is any report handy to use.
Kindly help
Regards,
Vijay V

Hello,
I'm afraid, but there is no such report in SAP using which you'll get the content os any SAP note.
Another option than SNOTE transaction is to use SAP marketpplace to findout the same.

Hi
1) One way is checking the version and support pack applied.I.e,
On the main SAP screen > Systems > Status > Check details of the "Component version".
2) STMS > Double click on the system you need to check > Check the status of your request.

Implementing OSS Note with /SAP/ and /DEVPROG/ - Note 1117955

I am trying to post OSS Note 1117955 which contains a Z* module from SAP as well as multiple changes to SAP modules. This is asking me for a transport for the Z module using /DEVPROG/, but then the SAP module changes are asking for a /SAP/ transport. The Note seems locked on the 1st transport and will not allow me to create a 2nd transport for the SAP program pieces. Anyone run into this before?

Usually when you do a modification to standard code (which a note application basically is) it puts it under a task of type 'Repair'.
Whereas when you change Z-objects they will be put under a task of type 'Development/Correction'
Try the following:
Create a transport that you will use for the note application which contains two tasks: one for repair and one for development/corrections and try to apply the note again by linking it to your new transport.
- SE10
- Create
- Select Workbench
- Confirm
- put in a description
- confirm
- put the cursor on the request
- click on the add user button
- choose your own user name
- confirm (this will add a second task to your transport request)
- click on the first task
- menu request/task - change type
- Choose Repair
- Do the same for the second task and choose development
Hope that helps,
Michael

Hello SDN,
I am facing some problem with standard SAP extractor and want to raise an OSS Note to SAP. As I have never done that, I have no idea of doing it. Can someone please guide me through the steps to follow.
Best Regards,

Hi Edwin,
I am not sure if my client has got one user ID but I have one of my own. Can I raise the OSS Notes from my personal ID? I just checked the create message screen and found that it is asking for customer and installation number. How can I find the installation number? I have drafted the problem I am facing with screen shots in a word document. Can I send/attach the document to the message?

Check the below point:
SAP R/3 Document : Using Transaction SNOTE
Implementing OSS Notes Using the new Transaction Code SNOTE
In this document we will see how to implement an OSS note using the SNOTE
transaction code.
The transaction code SNOTE is used to implement OSS Notes. With the SNOTE
transaction, it is no longer necessary to register ABAP objects such as report function
modules etc. manually. But data dictionary objects such as screens, tables need to
be modified manually by registering them in OSS system.
In order to use the transaction code SNOTE, the relevant transport which implement
this transaction in the system need to be transported. Please refer to the SNOTE
guide available at http://service.sap.com
Execute the Transaction code SNOTE
One of the first steps to do is to upload the note into your system.
Follow Goto à SAP Note Download
You can also use the SAP Note upload if the note has been saved in your local
machine
SAP R/3 Document : Using Transaction SNOTE
http://www.sappoint.com
In the following box that you get, enter the note number. We will take Note 388732
as an example
and click on the Execute icon. You will get the note number displayed in the list of the
OSS notes
In the above screen, we have two notes listed.
By double clicking on or on the note number you can display the OSS note.

Select the note and click on Check SAP Note icon. In this case we have selected
note number 388732.
If the note is not implemented as part of some support pack as per the support pack
level of your system, you should get the following pop up box.
Select the note number that you want to implement and goto Edit à Select/deselect
node
To implement the OSS note click on the Implement OSS Note icon
SAP R/3 Document : Using Transaction SNOTE
http://www.sappoint.com

ü You can also check the logs of the activities performed during the OSS note
implementation by clicking on the Logs icon on the application toolbar. The log
information will contain all the steps that were performed from the point of
downloading the note will its implementation is completed.
ü If there are any pre-requisite notes for the note that is being applied, the
system will prompt you to load those notes too into the system. Depending on
their applicability to your system, the system will prompt you accordingly to
apply the pre-requisite notes.
ü You can register the manually implemented SAP notes by executing the report
SCWN_REGISTER_NOTES.
ü SNOTE cannot change or modify data dictionary objects. If there is a note
which requires changes to be made to a structure or a screen then SNOTE will
not help. Such objects have to be registered and modified manually.

Help needed applying OSS note 981295 in SAP ECC 5.0 with SAP Kernel 640_REL

Hi Experts,
Our functional team is trying to implement a kind of workflow through a notification via SAP Inbox (transaction code SBWP) after the release of a Purchase Order (Transaction code ME29), this is every time when a purchase order is released through transaction code ME29, a notification will be sent to the SAP Inbox (transaction code SBWP). So according to this they told me to implement OSS note 981295, but using transaction SNOTE I get the message that this note can't be implemented in my system this because my SAP Kernel version is the release 6.40 and the needed SAP Kernel for this note is from version 7.00 to version 7.10. So what do you recommend please in this case in order to implement the required functionality on our SAP ECC 5.0 System?
Best Regards,
Erik Espinosa

Note clearly states
This note is only relevant if the following Support Package is installed in the system:
NW04s: Support Package SAPKB70008
Meaning is not relevat to your case. You need to keep looking... if you open an OSS message people from SAP might put you in the right direction.
Regards
Juan
