Hi satya,

1. LSMW need to upload Note pad (You need to convert from Excel to Note pad.)

- The same process for all sub modules like Vendor Master/ GL Master/ Customer Master/Cost center .....

2. What is Trading Partners?

In Business Terms Trading partner is your business partner within Group with whom you are doing business.In order to identify Inter Company transactions Trading partner field is used. You need to define all the Group Companies as company in SAP and all the defined Companies will be available for selection in Trading partner field. Trading partner can be defaulted in GL, Customer or Vendor Master. If you need you can populate trading partner at Document level too by doing settings in Document Type Master in T Code OBA7

3. There is no much differance between LSMW and BDC both are uploading toos.

Check the below link for differance

Hope it clear.
