Please check this answered link:

In short LSMW is created by MM consultant and BAPI with help of ABAP consultant.

With LSMW you have control over the upload, and with BAPI program through ABAP, you are dependant on them if there are any errors to get it fixed.

There is no limitation for either program, but when you create LSMW program, you should be well versed with all the tables and fields to be inputted. For big implementation with lots of materials, its advisable to go with ABAP, as they have more idea with tables and fields, as their daily work revolves around tables and fields and when program created through ABAP, they are bound to help you out, if you create program through LSMW, they are not bound to help you.

If their are any issues with uploads with ABAP program, they are going to help you fix the issue, but LSMW created by you, you fix the issues yourself.

The data is provided by users who are not well versed with SAP. Many times the data provided is incorrect, we cannot check line by line data, so what we do, we input their data in program, and run it on testing server, then whenever there is any issue, the program displays error message, we look at the error message, basically the error is displayed in field-table combination, so you need to know what field the error is coming from, then correct the data, then run it again and again until the whole data is fixed and gives you result data uploaded without error. Then and then only you should upload the file into PRD SERVER.

Step-by-Step Guide for using BAPI in LSMW

Note! The screen prints in this article are from ECC 5.0. They may differ slightly in other versions.

Introduction:

This document details the usage of BAPI in LSMW. We have used the example of migration of the purchase order data into SAP.
