LSMW is a standard tool provided by SAP. Normally, LSMW is used for data migration. But in
some case that we have to create/update huge volume of data, LSMW is the good choice as
well.

SAP provides 4 types of LSMW which are:

A. Standard Batch/Direct Input


B. Batch Input Recording
C. Business Object Method
D. IDoc
The popular method is Standard Batch and Batch Input Recording. These 2 methods are easy
and cover most of transactions in system.

A. Standard Batch/Direct Input

Standard Batch/Direct Input is a program provided by SAP. To use this method, you have to
know object, method and program name (SAP required to enter these parameters before start
execution).
Moreover, you have to create structure as SAP required. The advantages of this method are:
1- You can create/update data in the same time.
2- You can update many record of sub-information in the same time such as
create/update/delete bank information in vendor master.
3- You can post document with many line items. Each document doesn’t need to have the same
no. of line item.
This method also have disadvantage that you may take much more time to create structure and
read document before starting.
