Hi Raj,

Conversion is nothing but the converting the quality data as per the need of SAP, like, the Personnel number of SAP needs to be in numeric, but in legacy they might use some other combination, so to upload the Personnel number from legacy, I need to convert that format in to SAP format, so that I can migrate the data from legacy to SAP without any error.

Good Luck

Hi Raj,

We can use LSMW, BDC, eCATT to upload the data from Legacy to SAP system.

Data Extraction - Data has to extract from legacy in to some flat file like Xls.

Conversion - Convert as per the need of SAP.

Mapping - Mapping the extracted field with SAP field for upload.

Migration - Data migration from legacy to SAP using any tool like LSMW, BDC, CATT.

Good Luck
