EDI Programmers connect the SAP system to Non SAP system. During this Data migration is a necessity. When data migrate s from source to destination the destination code is differrent from the source code. So what LSMW does is a.Converts the data in to batch files b.Then converts the batch files in to source code batch files c.And then mirgates data. Standard Interfaces like BAPI or Idoc are used in this process. LSMW is used for migrating data from a legacy system to SAP system, or from one SAP system to another.Apart from standard batch/direct input and recordings, BAP I and IDocs are available as additional import methods for processing the legacy data. The LSMW comprises the following main steps: 1.Read data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files). 2.Convert data (from the source into the target format). 3.Import data (to the database used by the R/3 application. But, before these steps, you need to perform following steps :

1.Define source structure : structure of data in the source file. 2.Define target structure : structure of SAP that receives data. 3.Field mapping: Mapping between the source and target structure with conversion s, if any. 4.Specify file: location of the source file Q.Of all the methods used for data migration like BDC, LSMW , Call Transaction w hich one is used most of the time? How is the decision made which method should be followed? What is the procedure followed for this analysis? A.All the 3 methods are used to migrate data. Selection of these methods depends on the scenario, amount of data need to transfer. LSMW is a ready tool provided by SAP and you have to follow some 17 steps to migrate master data. While in BD Cs Session method is the better choice because of some advantages over call tran saction. But call transaction is also very useful to do immediate updation of sm all amout of data. (In call transaction developer has to handle errors).Bottom l ine is make choice of these methods based of real time requirements.These method s are chosen completely based on situation you are in. Direct input method is no t available for all scenarios; else, they are the simplest ones. In batch input method, you need to do recording for the transaction concerned. Similarly, IDoc, and BAPI are there, and use of these need to be decided based on the requiremen t.Try to go through the some material on these four methods, and implement them. You will then have a fair idea about when to use which. Q.What is the difference between the stock transfer between two plants belonging to same company code and those belonging to different company code? A.A stock transfer from plant to plant generally takes place within a company co de. It can, however, also take place between two company codes, if the plants ar e assigned to different valuation areas, which belong to different company codes .Unlike a stock transfer from storage location to storage location, a stock tran sfer from plant to plant affects both accounting and Materials Planning, as foll ows: 1.Accounting :Accounting is affected if both plants are assigned to different va luation areas. This means that a stock transfer leads not only to a quantity upd ate but also to a value update (stock value, G/L accounts). Thus, parallel to th e material document for stock transfer, an accounting document is created. 2.Materials Planning : Materials Planning is affected because a change of plant stock is taken into account by Materials Planning. The stock transfer from one plant to another belonging to same company code is s ame as that of belonging to different company code functionally.In both the type s of transfers, there will be a material document generated which will update th e QTY in both the plants in the respective storage location. Accounting document generation will depend on the valuation level of the material. If the materials are being valuated at company level and it is being transferred from one plant to another belonging to the same company code, no accounting entry is generated. However, if the valuation is being done at plant level, the accounting document will be generated in both the cases. Q.What are the fields in purchasing view?
