Hi ,

      I did not understand your concern here... There is no technique called initial upload in SAP...

Initial upload we can say is function or activity carried out when you are migrating from NON SAP to SAP system at that time you need to upload all your data e.g. G/L accounts, customer master, vendor master, material master, bills of material) and transaction data (e.g. financial documents, sales orders)in SAP system  ....

Your query regarding LSMW its a tool used majorly to transfer data transfer from non-SAP to SAP systems..

The LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) is a tool based on SAP software that supports single or periodic data transfer from non-SAP to SAP systems (and with restriction from SAP to SAP system). Its core functions are: 

• Importing legacy data from PC spreadsheet tables or sequential files
• Converting data from its original (legacy system) format to the target (SAP) format
• Importing the data using the standard interfaces of SAP (IDoc inbound processing, Batch Input, Direct Input)

Hope you will find it useful.......
