LSMW and HR Data Load

[Former Member]

Hi

I have a requirement data from a legacy system in SAP HR. Has anyone done this with LSMW?

If so, do you know in which sequence it should be done, error, etc?

If this is not the best approach what are the bapi's that you used to load employee data in to the HR module

thanks

Loading data using BDC seems to be good way to do it for HR data.

Hello,

We can use both type way(BDC & LSMW) to upload the data.

if we need to put some validation or check the data on system level

then we prefer BDC and if we don't have this type restriction

then we can use LSMW.

In BDC we have control over the data but in case of LSMW we don't have.

You can use LSMW to migrate your data to SAP - the Simple and Best way

- Create a excel file with the legacy data

- Format the data, clean the data

- convert into .txt file and use LSMW for upload

In LSMW itself you have many methods to load data into SAP

for example :

Batch input method :

Object 0555 HR master data

Method 0000 Batch Input

Program Name RPUSTD00

You can also go for recording method

Also you can do all the checks in LSMW - You can write a piece of code to handle this ( ABAPer could help you )

About the sequence of the load

- You need to follow the same sequence of load as the way you do it manually.

- Create all the LSMW programs for all the infotypes ( starting from PA0000 )

- Do a end to end test of HR data load in test system , you will get more clarity .

All the best
