We've just upgraded our DEV system (SAPKB73112) and in SPAU there are over 30 obsolete notes that we just can't seem to be able to get rid of.
One example is the note 1066494. SAP portal says "Document not released", so there is no way to see what even was in that note. 'Reset Obsolete Notes' button in SPAU does not help because the note was "modified". "Reset to original" is asking to load the note again and, after clicking through the green checkmarks, happily reports "Note downloaded and adjustment status recalculated" but this changes absolutely nothing - the note still has that gray signal.
In SNOTE the note had "could not be implemented" and "in progress" status when I got there. If I try to reset it, I get a message SCWN047 'No correction instructions implemented'. The only thing I could do was to change the status to "not relevant", but this had no influence on SPAU.
I've searched SCN posts (e.g. in this case looks like OP was able to use SNOTE to de-implement the note), but couldn't find anything on how to remove the note that doesn't even exist.
I'm fairly certain whatever changes were in the note are not actually needed at this point. Is there some trick that we could use to get such items off the SPAU list (I was hoping to leave it clean for future generations) or are we stuck with it?
Thank you.
