Hi Vishal,

Please make a note that,

LSMW is used to transfer Master Data.

BDC is used for transactional Data.

LSMW can import data from legacy systems (e.g. in the form of Excel sheets or CSV files). For this, I guess, LSMW converts your data into batch input files automatically. If you use BDC, on the other hand, you have to write your batch input file yourself, line per line.

So, Open Purchase Order are the Transactional Data for you can use BDC for this Purpose

Please take your ABAPER's help to will write a Code to Migrate the Data.

Hope this Solve your Purpose and Please Reward If Really Helpful,

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Vishal,

You need to get in touch with an ABAPer for this activity and decide on what to go with. For both the technique you would be needing a flat file to upload the data into SAP.

If you choose BDC, you need to record the transaction of creating PO using [SHDB] and then use this recording to get the structure of the flat file. Incase of LSMW you need to create the structure of the flat file as one of the steps.
