What you will learn ?2:34
How I first learnt about LSMW5:42
This is my story of how I almost failed my first SAP implementation project without having an understanding of Data Migration. In that fateful project, I literally had to work 18 hours a day for one full week to learn LSMW and meeting the project deadlines. I am going to give you all that I learned during that project and everything else I learned during my data migration experience in subsequent projects.
What is LSMW ?16:04
In this lecture, we are going to talk about the basic overview of the data migration process and explain the different data migration methods in SAP and explain LSMW from the point of view of data migration.

LSMW Process Overview14:37
In this lecture, I will breakdown the LSMW process into 4 simple steps and explain the significance of understanding the data source. I will explain different kinds of data sources and how data can be collated from multiple data sources.
Business Scenario Setup5:34
In this lecture, I will explain a business scenario ( a simpler version of Customer Master Migration ) and relate it to the steps i have explained in the previous lecture

Project and Sub-Project Setup8:29
Projects, sub-projects and objects are a mandatory hierarchy that is required by SAP to categorize your LSMW scripts. I will explain why this is done by explaining how a typical project would be arrange - say in case of new projects, mergers, upgrades and so on
Simplify the 14 Steps4:55
The 14 odd steps in LSMW can be very daunting to anybody. But in reality, not all the steps are created equal - Things would be much easier to understand if you divide up your LSMW in 2 parts - The design part and the execution part. I will explain which of these steps fall under which section and how viewing LSMW from that perspective will make things look simpler

Import Method and Source Strucures16:19
This is where the rubber meets the road - We will start doing the actual steps in LSMW to implement the business scenario ( Customer Master Data Migration using LSMW ) . I will talk about the import methods , recording, source structures, why we create them, source fields and their significance.
Source Fields, mappings and Transformations9:11
Once the mechanism of getting data into SAP is designed, the subsequent step would be mapping the fields and design any transformations if required. I will talk about some shortcuts that can be used to simplify this like auto-field mappings and manual field mappings. I will also be discussing why we create the source fields and the role mappings and transformations play in the business scenario. I will also talk about some other business scenarios where additional mappings can be used.

Requirements

None. However, having access to an SAP Server will make the understanding of LSMW much better

Imagine you are an SAP Functional Consultant and your project's realization phase is done. Now you need to migrate 100,000 Customer records from your legacy system ( say Salesforce ) to SAP. How would you do it ? LSMW is the gold standard tool used by SAP functional consultants to migrate mass amounts of data into SAP. LSMW stands for Legacy System Migration Workbench . The name definitely sounds complicated, but believe me - I am going to make it look so simple that you will have fun doing it !! Ciao in the course..
