Hi,

LSMW is use to upload Master data:once your data is uploaded you cannot modify.

BDC is used to upload transactional data,you can modiy data which you uploaded.

Hi,

Of course BDC is better to LSMW.

LSMW mainly used to upload transactional data.

Table Controls cannot be handled. So BDC is better.

LSMW is used by mostly functional guys who dont know much of coding but for developers BDC provides much more flexibilty

BDC is much better than LSMW....

Using BDC you can upload anything but with LSMW you can upload only the master data....

As a programmer, BDC is much more helpful as it provides various ways to handle table control and other things....

Where did everybody pick up this misleading information (i.e. rubbish)?

LSMW is a data mapping tool that takes source data and - based on configurable/programmable rules - converts it to target data (master and transactional) formatted in a way as expected by the final uploading process, be it BDC (also own recordings), direct input, IDOC or BAPI.

So comparing BDC and LSMW is like comparing paint and brush (there is probably better analogies).

Hi,

LSMW is only for small amount of data...

BDC is for large volumes of data...

The best method for data transfer is BDC.. When we compare with LSMW..

But now a days BAPI's are considered the best way to upload data..

Hi subash sundar ,

1)LSMW is a free tool provided by SAP to load huge volume of data at a stretch.

2) Mapping of source structure & target structure is done automatically.

2) We can't handle errors in LSMW.

In BDC , we need to write the code to upload the data & we need to take care of the mapping.

Hence , for less amount of data go for BDC & for huge amount of data , go for LSMW.

cheers!
