UNIT-5 (FICO) LSMW


In this Unit, we will look in to LSMW as theory and practise. Theory will be given by slides while Practise will be given by screenshots.

THEORY: 



PRACTISE:

This post is from a famous SAP Consultant, Ravi Shankar Venna. He described whole LSMW process in a very detailed view in one of SCN blog. I just copied it because, no one can give LSMW in any more detailed way. THANKS TO RAVI SHANKAR VENNA for this information.
Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is handy tool for data uploads. In most of the big projects there is a separate development / data migration team is available. However, at times, it would be responsibility of the functional consultant to load the data such as vendor master, customer master and asset master etc. It would be real handy for a functional consultant to know LSMW (at least recording method) and it would help them to successfully complete the task. Hope this document would help many of our functional consultants, as I am seeing number of questions around LSMW. The simple rule is: Follow this document and practice is for number of times possible, then you will become master.
Go to Transaction Code "LSMW" and follow the following steps:

LSMW_21.png
Now
fill the required details exactly as shown below. You should note that you have
to enter ‘0001 for payment method instead of 0001, since if you straight enter

“0” should be preceded with ‘.
LSMW_22.png

all grids.
