hi

lsmw is user friendly functional consultant can do it with out technical consultant help there is no program required

bdc abaper help is needed some code should be developed

for master data uploading lsmw is suggestable

for transaction data bdc is suggestable

BDC(Batch data communication) is program tool used to load the data which program developer creates from scratch.Traditionaly this is the mechanism used to load the data.thsi you need to do technacally for this you required technical knowledge.

LSMW - Legacy System Migration Workbench SAP has developed user friendly tool for loading the data of the specific objects(vendor master, customers, orders so on) and this can be used by the functional consultant or end user without understanding the underlying program code. No ABAP knowledge is required to use this tool. This tool can be used to load the legacy data and also to conduct mass data changes in the system

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

BDC- It is Batch data communication. Its used for data conversion from legacy system to SAP system. Only technical people can do it. Tcode is SHDB.

LSMW- It is legacy system migration workbench. Its also used for data conversion from legacy system to SAP system. But it is role of functional consultant.

There are 14 steps in LSMW. As soon as you complete the one step, automatically it will go to next step.

In general you can use LSMW. But if you want to transfer more than 40,000 data, then it is not possible in LSMW. That time you can take help of BDC.

Thanks & Regards
