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.
