Introduction: Legacy System Migration Workbench or LSMW is an SAP System tool that supports when you are copying data from non-SAP (LEGACY) systems. 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.

Step 4. “Maintain Structure Relations”

- > Execute

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.

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)

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…

14 | Pavan Golesar +91 9730448063


Okay, back to our main topic. Once relationships are done Screen looks (In my case) like below:

Now, Keep your cursor on field ‘BUKRS’ and click on ‘Assign source field’ icon ,

Similarly, Carryout this operation for our rest of the fields (Purch. Org, Comp code…etc)

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.

Quick troubleshoot:

If you face Error:

Error when uploading file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\csk' (Return Code = 13).

Message no. /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_070010.

Solution:

Check file is proper tab-delimited. If still error exits then delete file perform step 7 again (imp). If everything goes right, below screen appears (with Not Written = 0)

Step 13: Create Batch Input Session

Once the source data is converted to internal format, you may create batch input session.

23 | Pavan Golesar +91 9730448063


Once you execute above step, to verify goto tcode SM35.

Yeaa ! Look Batch input session with session name ‘XK01’ is created.

Step 14: Run Batch Input Session

Successfully I had completed all these steps.
