LSMW is a tool to map data and control the loading of it.

LSMW uses a number of ways to load data, these are:

  • Batch input; Pre written program that creates a BDC session.

  • Direct input; Pre-written program that checks the data and if Ok updates the tables.

  • BAPIs; Very simular to Direct input programs, But the interface is IDoc style.

  • BDC; You record the transaction then use that to load the data.

The big reason for using LSMW is the the ease of use in doing all the mapping.

There is more info at <a href="service.sap.com/lsmw">service.sap.com/lsmw</a> including a usefull how to use manual.
