You can load SAP Notes in your system. You can do this directly using an RFC connection (SAP Note download) or with the file transfer method (SAP Note upload).

The download method has the following advantages:

  • When you download an SAP Note, you can use Note Assistant to load it directly into your system by establishing an RFC connection to SAP.

  • If other SAP Notes are entered as prerequisites in an SAP Note, Note Assistant automatically downloads the prerequisite SAP Notes during implementation (Implementing Correction Instructions).

  • You can download updated versions of SAP Notes at the press of a button (Updating an SAP Note).
