Offline Data Interface Development

In the interface development segment, there are options for project development with the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW). With this standard SAP® application, LSMW projects can be created that take over the data from a third-party system or another SAP® system into a SAP® system (e.g. ERP 6.0) via the data interface. The data transfer procedure can be batch input, call transaction or direct input, depending on the type of data. In addition to this highly standardized process, individual special data transfer programs, e.g. exceed the scope of the LSMW, are developed in ABAP. Furthermore, in practice there is sometimes a need for ABAP programs to prepare third-party data in such a way that it is suitable for reading into the LSMW.
