LSMW: Legacy System Migration Workbench

The LSMW Workbench is an SAP-based tool that supports you when transferring data
from non-SAP systems "Legacy Systems" to SAP systems once or periodically. The
tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. The data
can then be imported into the SAP system via batch input, direct input, BAPIs or
IDocs. By using this tool you can transfer your business objects i.e. GL Master,
Customer/Vendor Master, Asset Master, Material Master etc. to SAP system. Before
using the LSMW we should have good knowledge about the business object and the
fields that will be transferred.
