Any kind of data can be uploaded using most of the methods you have mentioned. Its a matter of choosing the best method, so that you can avoid custom coding and the maintenance will be low.

LSMW and Direct Input methods will help you in doing that.

If these are not used, then you go for the BDC methods

The first thins is LSMW isn't a method but it's a tool can use one of methods you have mentioned.

In generally all transactions support the BDC except the enjoy transaction.

U can know if trax is an enjoy trx if it use frame control to manage the dynpro, generally the name of these trx ends with N: ME21N.

U can use trx SHDB to find out all BDC std program, if you can't find it you can create a BDC program.

DIRECT INPUT are standard program they don't simulate the trx (as BDC program) but update directly the tables. So it's always better to use DIRECT INPUT std program and not to create one by yourself: it's not easy to know all tables have to be update and how these tables have to be update.

U can find out the DIRECT INPUT by trx SHDB.

So all these methods can be used indifferently, but if you use a std method you make sure it can simulate the funcitonality you need.

So after choosing a method to upload the data, you have to decide how to use this method:

- Create an interface program

- Create a LSMW project

and for uploading data you can better look if there are BAPI's available for the area you want to update. if so create a programm and let the BAPI do the job. otherwise BDC or LSMW
