    The document discusses the Legacy Systems Migration Workbench (LSMW) in SAP, which is a tool used to transfer data from external flat files into SAP. It reviews the LSMW architecture, outlines the steps to set up a LSMW data transfer including defining source and target formats, mapping the source to target, and identifying files. The document demonstrates executing a LSMW routine to read a flat file, convert the data, and load it into SAP.

    Notes
    LSMW is a development tool - only the output
    files should be used in production
    Can only work with Flat Files
    Only allows import - no SAP Export functionality
    Designed for use in conversions, not interfaces
    Incomplete
    Imperfect
