Hi Johnn,

To using BDC for deletion of data, first of all, do identify the transaction code that will facilitate the deletion of data or flag it for deletion.

e.g MM06 is used to flag a material belonging to a particular location, for deletion .

So, in this case, you can just go to SHDB for recording and create your BDC program.

But pls.note that without proper authorisation, you cannot carry out this function. And even if, there is autorisation for you, pl.do take care not to delete data that might be important.

2. LSMW are generally used for mass uploads for master data from legacy. LMSW cannot handle complex uploads which is very much possible using BDC.

3. The BDCs can be designed irrespective a the project phase. It all depends upon the requirement.

Hi John,

1)Using a BDC program you can delete data using the standard function provided in the transaction.I would recommend the use of BAPI for it as its much more easy to use.

2) Akriti has already answered to your 2nd point.

3) I have worked on support U get to do BDCs if u have to write a new conversion program for some custom process or there are many programs where in they r interfacing SAP with other 3rd party systems and they might need BDC or BAPI to create or modify that data in SAP. Interfacing can be done with Lotus notes or XML or sometimes unix files r uploaded..there r many such scenarios and BDC provides better control as u can also create sessions to process data manually using SM35
