Uploading Business Partner Data using LSMW: You want to mass migrate Business Partner data from your existing system to S/4HANA 1511. This blog explains how to import data from tab delimited text files residing on FrontEnd computer (PC) using transaction code LSMW – Direct Input method together with a custom program provided.

Please note that the LSMW tool is to be used for creating and updating Business Partner data directly in S/4HANA system with New Implementation. It is not intended to be used for ECC to S/4HANA conversion.

2. CREATE STRUCTURES IN S/4HANA SYSTEM:

You can use program in BP.ZIP (file ZLSMW_STRUCTURES.TXT) to create structures. Activate the structures.

Alternatively you can manually create structures (SE11) according to specifications in provided Excel files as described below. Choose a transportable package in customer namespace and put this into new transport request.

Using transaction SE11 generate the following structures with “CHAR” data types copying the exact parameter name and data type length in the “Z” structure. Name the “Z” structures as defined in the following table:

For example, structure CVIS_BP_ROLE will match ZZCVIS_BP_ROLE component names as shown below.

Make sure that you set all data types to “CHAR” in the “ZZ” structures and add component STYPE to all structures as the first component in the structure. Activate the Structures.

3. CREATE REPORT PROGRAM IN S/4HANA SYSTEM:

Using LSMW Program source code provided in BP.ZIP (file ZLSMWDSPRG_CVI.TXT), create a program (SE38). Create a transportable package in customer namespace, adding to above transport request. Remember to add the text elements specified in the LSMW Program text elements file. Activate the program. You do not need to execute the program, it will be run by LSMW.

4. MAINTAIN LSMW CUSTOMIZING TABLES:

Using transaction code SM30, maintain tables SXDA0, SXDA1, and SXDA2 as below:

Add following entry for Business Partner in table SXDA0.

Add following entry in table SXDA1.

If you have problems to maintain entries in table SXDA1 check the following note:2192586 – Table maintenance dialog of SXDA1 dumps.

Please use SE16 SXDA1 and then /h to edit table in debug mode to add record.

Create following entries in table SXDA2:
