BDC (BATCH DATA COMMUNICATION) is a
procedure which is used to transfer or upload data
from NON-SAP SYSTEM to SAP SYSTEM.

BDC is a standard technique for transferring

LARGE sets of data which is available in
ELECTRONIC form.
ADVANTAGES OF BDC
 NO MANUAL INTERACTION is required
during data transfer.

 BDC ensures DATA INTEGRITY.

 The transaction flow is simulated and the data

is transferred as if it were entered online.

 We canEASILY make CHANGES and RECTIFY

ERRORS according to our client needs.
BASIC BDC FLOW :

SAP TRANACTION
DATA TRANSFER
METHODS
 Method 1 - >CALL TRANSACTION

 Method 2 - > BATCH INPUT SESSION

 Method 3 - > DIRECT

 SESSION METHOD.

1) synchronous processing.
2) can transfer large amount of data.
3) processing is slower.
4) error log is created
5) data is not updated until session is processed.

 CALL TRANSACTION.

1) asynchronous processing
2) can transfer small amount of data
3) processing is faster.
4) errors need to be handled explicitly
5) data is updated automatically

 LSMW
[LEGACY SYSTEM MIGRATION
WORKBENCH]
LSMW = ?
 R/3-based tool.
 LSMW also supports conversion of
data.
 Imported into the SAP R/3 system via
batch input, direct input, BAPIs or
IDocs.
 recording function allows to generate a
“data migration object”.
ADVANTAGES OF LSMW

 Because not much technical(ABAP)

effort are required.
 Greatly reduces the amount of
development time.
 MAIN FUNCTIONS

1> Read data

2> Convert data

3> Import data

 We define the structures
and fields of the project.
These describe the
transfer file and must have
the same format in the
export program. You then
relate the structures and
fields of the SAP system to
those of the project.
MAINTAIN SOURCE STRUCTURE :

CLICK ON CREATE BUTTON ENTER STRUCTURE NAME

CLICK ON SAVE AND PRESS F3
MAINTAIN SOURCE FIELDS :

CLICK ON TABLE MAINTENANCE

PLACE CURSOR ON STRUCTURE

Assign field-name, type,
