The important part is not really in LSMW, it is before in analyzing which POs you want migrate automatically and which manually.
you might have POs that are partially done, e.g. have partial receipts, so you only need to migrate the remaining quantity only.
And here I usually decide based on the volume of such POs whether I do them as well with LSMW (which adds more complexity to either source file or LSMW) or if they will be done manually.
you have to erase the PR numbers, otherwise SAP will validate whether these numbers exists for your new plant.
you have to think about how you prepare the source file, whether you do a download from various table and put it together in Excel, or if you do it totally different way. I usually setup a ALE scenario and send the old data via ALE IDOC process into a file on the applicaton server, then I use this file with thousands of IDOCs as my source, so I dont need to extract data from a table myself.
