LSMW can be used to easily load / change master data or transactions in SAP without any programming at all. It can also be used in a production system to make changes to existing data. Very limited authorization checks are available on the transaction, so the use of it must be very well controlled. Why is it needed: To mention one, it can be used to upload data at cutover, such as: open orders, contracts, materials, vendors, stock on hand. In simple terms, we need carry out migration activity so as to move from legacy system to SAP. Initial Step: Go to transaction code LSMW.

Tip: These fields in above image will be useful in making our flat file which will be holding the data to be uploaded to our SAP System. © abaper.weebly.com | Pavan Golesar - sapparamount@gmail.com 11 | Pavan Golesar +91 9730448063 Step 4. “Maintain Structure Relations” - > Execute © abaper.weebly.com | Pavan Golesar - sapparamount@gmail.com 12 | Pavan Golesar +91 9730448063 Tip: To maintain structure relations click on BGR00 and ‘click relationship’ (ctrl + F4) as shown in above screenshot it will assigned to structure. Repeat this for all required relations in that screen. So, Select by placing cursor on respective structures. Very.Imp step Imp Tip: Well this might be confusing for few guys so let me put it straight, if you ever been to tcode XK01 (in below image), You probably have to enter Account group, Purchase Org, Company code… These fields are referred in structure BLF00. (DOUBLE CLICK IT TO OPEN) © abaper.weebly.com | Pavan Golesar - sapparamount@gmail.com 13 | Pavan Golesar +91 9730448063 Example: If you want to don’t know reconciliation a/c structure or table (like me) then simply goto xk01/02/03 tcode and press F1 on that particular field. You’ll get the structure there. Here, I went to XK02 tcode and press F1 on recon a/c and under technical information (button) there it is LFB1… © abaper.weebly.com | Pavan Golesar - sapparamount@gmail.com 14 | Pavan Golesar +91 9730448063 Okay, back to our main topic. Once relationships are done Screen looks (In my case) like below: © abaper.weebly.com | Pavan Golesar - sapparamount@gmail.com 15 | Pavan Golesar +91 9730448063 Don’t forget to Save Step 5. “Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules” - > Execute this step Keep your cursor on ‘TCODE’ field and click on ‘Insert Rule’ icon Choose radio button ‘Constant’ (below image).

Org, Comp code…etc) , Scroll below Step 6. “Maintain Fixed Values, Translations, User-Defined Routines” You can also maintain re-usable translation & user-defined routines, which can be used across conversion tasks. In this case, that step is not required. Step 7. “Specify File” - > Execute We define how the layout of the input file is. © abaper.weebly.com | Pavan Golesar - sapparamount@gmail.com 17 | Pavan Golesar +91 9730448063 Note: Before going further, create an Excel file & save it in Tab-delimited format on your local drive.

Yeaa ! Look Batch input session with session name ‘XK01’ is created. Step 14: Run Batch Input Session Successfully I had completed all these steps. © abaper.weebly.com | Pavan Golesar - sapparamount@gmail.com 24 | Pavan Golesar +91 9730448063 Testing: Goto SE11 tcode, Enter table LFA1 - CONTENTS. (REMEEMBER: We had entered search term as ZAPPER – ha haa that’s what I like) All 5 records from our Flat file © abaper.weebly.com | Pavan Golesar - sapparamount@gmail.com 25 | Pavan Golesar +91 9730448063 Summary: In this way, We can upload (vendor master) data using LSMW Direct input method.
