 Now we are going to learn LSMW by using direct input method.

Direct input method

 In this method we input all the field manually and upload the file to enter the
data
 It is lot easier and quicker to load material master using the standard direct
input method
 When we do batch input recording sometime view is not selected properly
so many company prefer to use lsmw direct input method for maintaining
material master data
 Since direct input method process is lit bit time consuming but if customer
requires to maintain more field we can manually add
 To use this method we have to know object method and program name
 Examples for direct input programs are:
 RFBIBL00 - FI
 RMDATIND - MM
 RVAFSS00 - SD
 RAALTD11 - AM
 RKEVEXTO - CO-PA
