Maybe there's some confusion here...

[LSMW|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/ad/2d54a41d7011d2b42e006094b944c8/content.htm] is a tool usually used for uploading data into SAP.

LSMW uses different techniques to upload the data e.g. [BDC|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/fa/097015543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/content.htm] (batch input), BAPIs, [IBIP|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/4f/78fc370457c41de10000009b38f8cf/content.htm], ABAP Programs, etc.

Although the BDCs, BAPIs, IBIP, ABAP Programs, etc can be run seperately. LSMW allows a structured method for importing and checking data.

Hi,

LSMW can be used in most of all the data migration activities. Based on the need and usage you can decide upon going for BDC or LSMW.

But generally for General Task List BDC is always preferred.

Hi,

We can use both the Tools (LSMW & BDC) to Migrate data from 3rd party system to R/3 system. Only difference is

LSMW- Can use by both Functional as well as Technical Consultants.But,

BDC- Can use only by Technical Consultant.

Hi Rajib,

The uploading of master data can be done through LSMW and BDC too.

LSMN mainly consists of 14steps for uplaoding the Master data.

The LSM Workbench provides a central maintenance function that can be used to create, change, or delete project, subproject, object, and field assignment entries.

BDC programme will be written by ABAP for uploading the master data. This will be use full when the additional table data needs to be enter in the master data like task list operations etc

Master data in PM is

1) Equipment Master

2) Funcation Locaion

3) Work centers

4) Maintenance Plans

5) Maintenance Strategy

6) Measuring Points

7) Material Master(spare Parts)

😎 Maintenance Assemblies ets

9) Catalogs

General Maintenance Tasklist will be uploaded by BDC only.

If you required I can send Step by step procedure for LSMW.

Hi,

For Task List & Catelog you use BDC & for Equipment,Funtional Location, BOM, Maintenance Plan, Measuring Points you use LSMW .

In Task list if their is more than 20 operation in one task list & like this no of task list then ou have to go for BDC
