Introduction

The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a instrument to transmit data from
legacy systems into an R/3 System. LSMW supports a step-by-step process; if one step
is executed and saved then next step automatically follows. Apart from formation of
project/ subproject/ object and recording, there are 14 basic steps included in LSMW.
This article explains clearly about each and every step.

Example, I am showing how to upload Personnel Data for an employee i.e. Infotype
0002 .

Creating Project/ Subproject and Object:

We are clicking ‘Default all’ button, so that all the fields which we touched during
recording are included
Save and back to main Screen.

Step 4: Maintain Structure Relations

Here we check whether structure relations between legacy and R/3 established or not.

In this step there is no need to change, just save and come back.
Save and Back.

Step 5: Display Field Mapping and Conversion

Here we establish the relationship between legacy and R/3 based on object fields.

In menu bar, go to ExtrasàAuto Field Mapping

Step 6: Maintain Fixed Values, Translations, User-Defined Routines

No need to maintain this step, unless and until if there exist any user defined routines, which helpful
for reusable.
