What is LSMW?

LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) is a tool in SAP used for transferring data from legacy systems into SAP systems. It allows users to perform mass data uploads and conversions by defining rules and mappings between the legacy data format and the SAP data structure. Common uses include creating or changing master data (e.g., materials, customers, vendors) and transactional data (e.g., sales orders, purchase orders) during SAP implementation or data migration projects.
