Can Anybody tell me What is the Difference between SAP Notes and Support Package?

SAP NOTES
When an end user of SAP finds a bug in the SAP product he reports the same to SAP support, SAP developers check the same and develop a correction for the same. This correction is sent to the customer in the form of a NOTE.

Support Package
If the same or similar bug is reported by multiple clients or end users, then SAP recognizes such bug corrects them and collects all these corrections in one place and adds some enhancements to the earlier version of SAP and then calls this as a SUUPORT PACK. In simple words collection of

SAP NOTES is a SUPPORT PACK.

Comments

A SAP Note fixes _one_ problem, Support packages are many SAP notes together (comparable with a single fix on windowsupdate and a service pack). One should consider running the latest packages since the most errors are fixed in there. Beware of dependencies between (which are also documented in separate SAP notes)
