Hai

i will give you a brief note

BDC you need abapers to write coding

for that as a functional you have to give him a recording in ( transcation code shdb)

but lsmw you can do by you self ( functional )

LSMW can be done by four method

1. using the standard batch input ( standard object defined by SAP)

2.batch input recording ( sample recording should be done )

3.BAPI

4.IDOC

--

if you want the data to be uploaded by the end user then go for BDC

create a tranacstion code with respect to a ABAP coding

if you want to give to the core team member go with LSMW

BDC are transportable where as LSMW not transportable

WHEN WILL USE THESE SCENARIOS

[krishnaswamy_kumaraswamy · Accepted solution]

again depend upon

the client requirement for example

the end user do re engineering every month and he want to change the storage bin every month in the material master then you can give them a BDC

in case your client has some one time data or as and when required data and it will be updated by the core team member only then LSMW is the preferred one

Hi

the difference between BDC and LSMW is

In BDC we will have Call transaction method and session method to upload the data in to data base table from internal table

In LSMW we have only Session menthod to uploade the data.

waiting for reply

Hi,

generally BDC will be used for large data upload and also which involve programming like routinue
