Hi,

It depneds on lot's of factor like volume of data, kind of data, error handling and many more. BDC and LSMW are two very common methods use.

In my opinion the best method to use depends on the amount and the complexity of the uploading.

You can use Batch Input sessione, LSMW, direct input or direct table upload, but it depends on the data you are maintaining.

Best regards.

Hi,

LSMW:upto 20K data.

BDC call transaction is better once you have some few data some 4-5K casue its faster.

BDC session is always better if you have bulk of data and later you can proces tham from SM35 and see log file if any error.

Hi, <li>If you haver very few records, even entering manually is also an option. <li>In most cases where we need more than 20,000 records , BAPI or Direct input would be the fastest. Here error handling is tough here. <li>You can use BDC(Session and Call transaction methods), where we can write code to identify error records, if you get error records, those can be reprocessed.
