SAP - SAP LSMW Training

Course details

LSMW is the gold standard tool used by SAP functional consultants to migrate mass amounts of data into SAP. LSMW stands for Legacy System Migration Workbench.

Effort are required to map the data into the structure according to the pre-determined format as specified by the pre-written ABAP upload program of the LSMW. The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System. More and more medium-sized firms are implementing SAP solutions, and many of them have their legacy data in desktop programs. In this case, the data is exported in a format that can be read by PC spreadsheet systems. As a result, the data transfer is mere child's play: Simply enter the field names in the first line of the table, and the LSM Workbench's import routine automatically generates the input file for your conversion program.

LSMW is one of SAP's best data conversion and master data creation tools. It is available for most R/3 master and transactional data. LSMW can be used for most conversion and migration tasks and can be accomplished with standard functionality. With a little ABAP coding, you can use LSMW for more complex data conversion activities. This course will walk you through the process of creating LSMW and different features and advantages of using LSMW. Once you've done this you'll be able to see how useful the tool can be and how LSMW is the right choice for most conversion and migration.
