FROM SAP:

The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool that supports data migration from legacy systems (non-SAP systems) to SAP systems. It is a cross-platform component of the SAP system.

The LSMW comprises the following main functions:

  1.  Read data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files).  You can use any combination of PC and server files.

  2.  Convert data (from the source into the target format).

  3.  Import data (to the database used by the SAP application).
