SAP SPAU Transaction Guide

The SPAU transaction is used to implement SAP notes during an SAP upgrade or patch. The notes are displayed and should be implemented first before any custom changes. To apply a note, you click on the yellow triangle which brings up a confirmation screen. You then read the note, close it, and click yes to apply the changes. Any objects being changed will be displayed, with green circles indicating no issues and yellow triangles requiring changes via the split screen editor. The split screen editor shows the current and changed versions side by side where modifications can be made and changes saved.

The SAP notes are displayed in the top section of the SPAU transaction and
should be implemented first before you make an custom changes with could
effect the standard SAP code.

To process these you click on yellow triangle. SAP will then start the process
of trying to apply the note. First it will present you with the SAP note
confirmation screen checking you have read the note and performed any
manual changes required.
Click 'SAP Note' and read the note. Once you have read it you need to close
the actual note pdf document or minimise it.

Then click back to return to the confirmation screen


This time click the yes button to apply the note

You will now be presented with a screen showing a list of all objects being
changed within this note. This is the same as if you apply the note via
transaction SNOTE. If the traffic light is a green circle it means the object is
fine and changes can be made without a problem. Tick all the check boxes
and press the green tick (they should already be ticked by default).

Any instructions it can't do automatically will be shown with a yellow triangle.


These either need to be put manually via split screen editor or needs you to
check that the changes are already in. It could also be Sap changing SAP
code and not affecting any custom code, in which case you probably have to
assuming the changes are already. To enter the split screen editor click on
the yellow triangle.

The Split screen editor


The split screen editor has the current unchanged version of the object on
left and the changes it's trying to make on right. Use the up and down
arrows to move between modifications and make any changes you feel
necessary in the code on the left hand side. or just check the note changes
have already been added. Then click

The changes (or lack of them) will be saved and you are returned to previous
screen with object entry ticked. Press green tick and that's it all done.
