It really depends on what you are doing. There are a lot of "standard" LSMW objects for different business objects, for example, there is a std object for Creating Material Masters, in this case, it is a direct input program. So, the best choice here would be to use the standard program which has been provided, it just so happens that it is a direct input program. Creating Bill of Materials is another one, but this one is a batch input program, so you have no choice but to go with that. Of course if there is a BAPI for your business object that would be the next best thing, if a standard object does not exists.

Hi,

LSMW requires little Coding, and Steps are Pretty Simple.

Almost all the Methods are Used in different situations.

if you don't find any relevant Objects/Programs then go for Recording (some cases it is not advisable incase of Enjoy Transactions)

in that case using BAPI or IDOC method is used....
