Thanks advance,
Amudha.

Hi,
Thanks for  your previous answer. Can you tell me which one is best for migrating below master data (Ex: LSMW or BDC)

    Hi,
    LSMW IS JUST A TOOL TO GET THE DATA FROM A LEGACY SYSTEM.
    IN BDC WE HAVE 2 WRITE THE CODE AND CALL THE REQUIRED METHOD
    THATS IT. IN FUNCTIONALITY PERSPECTIVE THERE IS NO
    DIFFERENCE.
    BDC is Batch Data Communication. It is basically a program
    either generated by SAP after a recording or programmed by a
    abaper.Its like running the transaction manually but all the
    data is populated on the screens automatically.It is a
    little complex when the screens contain table controls.
    LSMW is legacy system migration workbench is a more user-
    friendly tool thru which one can do the same as a BDC. One
    just has to follow some 14 steps, click buttons and the data
    is set to be uploaded ….LSMW offer you 4 ways to import data
    into SAP, they are BDC, Direct Input, BAPI(BO), IDOC.
    To spell out the differences in detail:

  • Differences between LSMW and BDC

    Hi All
    Please can you give me the few points about the differences between LSMW and BDC?
    Awaiting for your Responce
    Praveen

    Hai Check with the following document
    GOOD
    THERE IS THREE TYPE OF METHOD IN BDC
    BDC SESSION
    CALL TRANSACTION
    CALL DIALOG
    What is BDC or batch input
    The Batch Input is a SAP technic that allows automating the input in transactions. It lies on a BDC (Batch Data Commands) scenario.
    BDC functions:
    · BDC_OPEN_GROUP : Opens a session group
    · BDC_CLOSE_GROUP : Closes a session
    · BDC_INSERT : Insert a BDC scenario in the session
    · The ABAP statement "CALL TRANSACTION" is also called to run directly a transaction from its BDC table.
    It runs the program RSBDCSUB in order to launch automatically the session. The session management is done through the transaction code SM35.
    The object itself is maintanable through the transaction SE24.
    BDC methods:
    Method
    Description
    Parameters
    OPEN_SESSION
    Opens a session
    SUBRC (Return Code – 0 OK)
    SESSIONNAME (Session to be created)
    CLOSE_SESSION
    Closes a session
    None
    RESET_BDCDATA
    Resets the BDC Internal Table...
    None. Normally, for internal purpose…
    BDC_DYNPRO
    Handles a new screen
    PROGNAME (Name of the program)
    DYNPRONR (Screen Number)
    BDC_FIELD
    Puts a value on the screen
    FIELDNAME (Name of the field)
    FIELDVALUE (Value to be passed)
    CONSTRUCTOR
    Constructor - Initializes NO_DATA
    NODATA (No data character). The constructor is called automatically when the object is created.
    RUN_SESSION
    Launches a session with RSBDCBTC
    None
    CALL_TRANSACTION
    Calls a transaction with the current BDC Data
    MODE (Display Mode)
    UPDATE (Update Mode)
    TCODE (Transaction to be called)
    BDC_INSERT
    Inserts the BDC scenario in the session
    TCODE (Transaction to be called)
    BDC techniques used in programs:
    1) Building a BDC table and calling a transaction,
    2) Building a session and a set of BDC scenarios and keeping the session available in SM35,
    3) Building a session and lauching the transaction right after closing the session.
    BDC using Call Transaction
    BDC using Call transaction involves calling an SAP transaction in back ground from within the ABAP
    program. The process involves building an Internal BDC table containing the screen information needed to
    execute the required transaction and then passing this to the Call transaction command (See code example).
    The full procedure for creating a BDC program is as follows:
    What is the difference between batch input and call transaction in BDC?
    Session method.
    1) synchronous processing.
    2) can tranfer large amount of data.
    3) processing is slower.
    4) error log is created
    5) data is not updated until session is processed.
    Call transaction.
    1) asynchronous processing
    2) can transfer small amount of data
    3) processing is faster.
    4) errors need to be handled explicitly
    5) data is updated automatically
    BATINPUT/DIRECT INPUT
    A: Batch-inputs can not be used to fill the "delivery due list" screen because it is not a dynpro. This is a standard SAP report. A SAP report (check with "System -> Status") may be called using SUBMIT sentence with the appropriate options . It is preferred to call a report than create a Batch-input program.

    The LSM Workbench is an SAP R/3 based tool that supports the one-time or periodic transfer of data from non-SAP systems ("legacy systems") to SAP systems.
    The LSM Workbench helps you to organize your data migration project and guides you through the process by using a clear sequence of steps.
    The most common conversion rules are predefined. Reusable conversion rules assure consistent data conversion for different data objects.
    LSMW vs DX Workbench
    The LSM Workbench covers the following steps:
    Read the legacy data from one or several files (e.g. spreadsheet tables, sequential files).
    Convert the data from source format to target format.
    Import the data using standard interfaces (Batch Input, Direct Input, BAPI, IDoc).
    Experiences made in successful implementation projects have shown that using the LSM Workbench significantly contributes to accelerating data migration.
    SAP provides this tool along with documentation to customers and partners free of charge.
    Users of the LSM Workbench receive the usual support via SAP Net - R/3 Frontend (component BC-SRV-DX-LSM).
    Releases:
    Version 1.7.2 of the LSM Workbench ("LSMW 1.7.2") available
    Attention : LSMW 1.7.2 requires an SAP R/3 system with SAP R/3 4.0 or SAP R/3 4.5.
    Version 1.8.0 of the LSM Workbench (1.21mb) ("LSMW 1.8.0") available
    Attention : LSMW 1.8.0 requires an SAP R/3 system with SAP R/3 4.6.
    Version 3.0 of the LSM Workbench (1.89mb) ("LSMW 3.0") available for Web Application Server 6.10
    Attention : LSMW 3.0 requires a SAP WAS 6.10. Functionality of version 1.7.2 and 3.0 are identical !
    Version 4.0 of the LSM Workbench ("LSMW 4.0") integrated in Web Application Server 6.20
    Attention : LSMW 4.0 is an integrated part of SAP WAS 6.20.

  • LSMW and BDC

    Hi,
    To post the data for RG23C with multiple Line Items in the <b>J1IEX</b> T-code is it advisable to use LSMW or BDC Program. B'cas through LSMW recording method the Multiple Line Items seems to be impossible to upload, and in BDC some of the screen fields are not being caputured.
    Suggsestions and Help will be much appreciated.
    Regards.
    Ramesh.

    Hello,
    I guess such complex scenarios shall be handled theu BDC, as it gives a better control and flexibility.
    If there are some fields in the table that are not getting captured during recording, verify that you are doing the required scrolling within the screen.
    If still there is something not getting captured thru BDC, search for some OSS note.
    Also try if there is a BAPI or Function to do the required posting, then you can avoid the BDC as well..simple and sweet

  • Lsmw and bdc r mandatory to sd

    hello gurrus,
                 is lsmw and bdc r mandatory for sd.
    bye

    Hi Basha,
    We cannot say that LSMW and BDC are mandatory for SD.
    LSMW is actually a tool to upload data into SAP. BDC is also a program which can be used for the same purpose.But LSMW is not available with the earlier versions of SAP. Ex: versions 3.1H and 3.1I.BDC was used most of the times.LSMW has got more advantages than BDC in terms of less coding,easy to use etc.
    Hope this helps.
    Please reward if useful.
    Thanks,

  • Uploading HR Master Data through LSMW or BDC

    I want to upload the HR Master Data to the system through LSMW or BDC, I am aware that for some infotypes like 000,1 &2 BDC is more suited, whereas for other infotypes LSMW is more convenient. I would like to understand how to start the activity. Should I start with infotype 0000 first and then 0001 and so on or can I take any infotype randomly and upload? What I mean is, is there any dependency that an infotype data can be loaded only after certain other related infotype data is loaded first? e.g. can load infotype 0006 first and then infotype 0001?
    Also please guide me on for which infotype LSMW is preferred and for which infotype BDC is preferred? Can BDC be used within LSMW?

  • XK99 lsmw or BDC program to copy vendors doesn´t update db records

    Hello people
    I am facing a requirement to copy a list of existing vendors into about 10 new company codes. Vendors all exist in the "main" company code, so I figured it would be a good idea to use the XK99 transaction as a basis for a mass upload via lsmw or bdc program.
    So
    So I performed a recording and applied my logic in lsmw, ran the batch input folder in SM35, seemingly without errors. But to my srprise I saw that no database records had been created in the LFB1 table.
    So I tried to incorporate the recording into a bdc program that uses call transaction, but the same thing happens. The batch input seems to be running OK, but no changes are actually made to db....
    So I was wondering what could I be doing wrong? I notice one strange thing though. After carrying out the selections in XK99 manually, one needs to mark columns to be transfered and then push the ´Perform mass update´ button and THEN click save. However, when in recording mode, one may click save directly, and no error is given and the recording ends.
    However, the select columns operation, if I try to do it during recording, doesnt seem to get captured....
    Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong here?

    Hello,
    first of all Transaction XK99 is more helpful in case of vendor change, not really creation.
    It was also intended to cover mass maintenance so it is used instead of LSMW or any other BDC custom program.
    I would say that you can go either with LSMW or CALL TRANSACTION custom program, but you should base your recording on XK/FK01 transactions.

  • Advantages of LSMW over BDC

    <b>What are the advantages of LSMW over BDC ? In which context we would be using LSMW ?</b>
    ( as per my idea ,LSMW doesnt require any coding and would be used by functional consultants.<b>Apart from this any other advantages of using LSMW ?</b> )

    Hi,
    Apart from the advantages that you mentined in your question,
    we can directly process LSMW with the help of IDOC BAPI through LSMW.
    And if we create 1 project in LSMW we can create multiple sub projects and in 1 sub project we create multiple objects.
    So by this facility we can use the Object and sub project with in the whole project.
    And in LSMW we have a very good facility like conversions fixed rules and constant maintaining facility.
    So LSMW is far better than using BDC programs.
    We have lot of facilities like Auto field mapping and many others .
    When we come to use it we know it better.

  • Difference in lsmw and bdc

    What is the advantage of using lsmw instead of bdc whether there is any disadvantage in using lsmw

    Hi,
    LSMW and BDC are vastly different.
    BDC (Batch Data Communication) is a technology used for data transfer.
    it is meant for transferring data thru SAP transactions itself. when u use BDC for data transfer,
    the sequence of steps is the same as when u use standard sap transaction screens for data upload. the only difference is that u can use different options for foreground/background processing.
    LSMW on the other hand is a tool that helps migrate data from a legacy system (non-sap system ) to SAP system.
    it offers u various options to use either batch input, direct input, BAPIs or idocs.
    it involves a series of some 17-18 steps to migrate data.
    BDC:
    Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system
    or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
    Features :
    BDC is an automatic procedure.
    This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
    BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
    BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
    Types of BDC :
    CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
    CALL TRANSACTION
    BATCH INPUT METHOD:
    This method is also called as ‘CLASSICAL METHOD’.
    Features:
    Asynchronous processing.
    Synchronous Processing in database update.
    Transfer data for more than one transaction.
    Batch input processing log will be generated.
    During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
    CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
    This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
    Call transaction.
    1) asynchronous processing
    2) can transfer small amount of data
    3) processing is faster.
    4) errors need to be handled explicitly
    5) data is updated automatically
    Session method.
    1) synchronous processing.
    2) can tranfer large amount of data.
    3) processing is slower.
    4) error log is created
    5) data is not updated until session is processed.
    Session method is to populate the data by filling BDC structure
    and keep as session to process from SM37 to post in appropriate Transaction.
    Call transaction method is to post the data directly into the Transaction from an Executable program.
    Features:
    Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
    Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
    Transfer data for a single transaction.
    Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
    No batch input processing log is generated.
    For BDC:

    http://www.sapbrain.com/TUTORIALS/TECHNICAL/BDC_tutorial.html
    LSMW:
    The LSM Workbench is an R/3-based tool that supports You when transferring data from non-SAP systems ("Legacy Systems") to R/3 once or periodically.
    The tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. The data can then be imported into the R/3 system via batch input, direct input, BAPIs or IDocs.
    Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows to generate a "data migration object" in an entry or change transaction.
    The main advantages of the LSM Workbench:
    • Part of R/3 and thus independent of individual platforms
    • A variety of technical possibilities of data conversion:
    • Data consistency due to standard import techniques:
    Batch input
    Direct input
    BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces)
    IDocs (Intermediate Documents)
    The import technique to be used in an individual case depends on the business object.
    • Generation of the conversion program on the basis of defined rules
    • Clear interactive process guide
    • Interface for data in spreadsheet format
    • Creation of data migration objects on the basis of recorded transactions
    • Charge-free for SAP customers and SAP partners

  • Vendor Conversion (LSMW or BDC)

    Hello,
    I want to know what is the best way to convert the Vendor Master(around 60000) from the Legacy to SAP.
    There will be new fields to be filled up and then some old fields(Porg,CC,etc) from the legacy might need a logic(table) to convert.
    Should I use LSMW or BDC and can I process it based on a file.?
    How do we do it?
    Recommendation would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    For uploading the data from legacy system to SAP sys preference should be like this...
    1) LSMW
    2) BAPI
    3) BDC
    regards,
    paras
