 LSMW stands for SAP Legacy System Migration Workbench.
 LSMW is used transfer data from one system to another system.
 The data transfer between the SAP to SAP (or) non SAP to SAP from
sender system to receiver system
 The LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows generating
a “data migration object” to enable migration from any required
transaction

The main functions of the LSM Workbench are:

1.Import data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files)
2.Convert data (from source format to target format)
3.Import data (into the database of the R/3 application)

 Project: specify the name of the data transfer project

 Subproject: one or more subprojects can be assigned to a
project
 Object: Name of the LSMW object

the STEPS in your LSMW data Migration

1.Batch Input Recording: Here you can create a recording of your own and use it to
upload/change data
Step 2 – Maintain Source Structures

The source structures can be used to design the hierarchy of the files to be
uploaded.
 Step 3- Maintain Source Fields

In this screen, the Fields which will be uploaded from the text file can be
maintained here. The fields with identical names are taken as the Key
Step 4 – Maintain Structure Relationships
Step 5- Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules
Step 6- Maintain Fixed Values, Translations and User-written Routines

Step7- Specify Files

Step 8- Assign Files
Step 9- Read Data
 Step 10- Display Read Data
In this step, you can display all or a part of the read data in table form.
Clicking on a line displays all information for this line in a clear way

MASS
SAP mass maintenance is a process of changing multiple master data entries at
once. Mass maintenance of master records is required when there are a lot of
existing master records and you need to change certain data fields in those records.
When using MASS transaction, you will need to specify Object Types to determine
which master data you want to touch with the maintenance process.
Now, let’s go through a step-by-step example and carry on mass changes of
CUSTOMER field
for several CUSTOMER master records. We need to start the transaction MASS from
the transaction bar
In the initial screen of MASS transaction, you need to enter Object Type. You can
see a list of available object types by clicking on box besides this field.
If you click this box, a list of object types will be displayed. In our example, we will
use BUS1001 object type.
The SAP system will show the next screen where you should check the box
besides General Material Data and click on Fields tab
