OSS	Do you regularly check OSS for patches? Newly discovered bugs can cause serious problems in your system. Sometimes SAP even has to patch a patch. A patch that you install may later be found to cause another problem in R/3. Be sure to regularly check OSS for new patches, and fixes/updates to patches. An example of one problem in SAP that can catch you by surprise: FI-AP PAYMENT PROGRAM SAP cannot pay more than 8000 - 9000 items on one payment document. There cannot be more than 8000 - 9000 exceptions for one vendor on a payment run. The entire payment run will abend due to a memory constraint. SAP has not resolved this problem in any release. This is release independent. See OSS for details on workarounds. Have you gone into OSS to get the latest Y2K patches and information? Version 3.0D can double print checks and double create EDI payments. See OSS. OSS also contains useful information and documentation. OSS on the internet - you need an ID which you get from your employer. Or logon to OSS from within your SAP system via transaction OSS1.
