Hi Amar,

For uploading Master Data, SAP has given some Standard Programs. But to use these u need to create Flat-File with the structure as per program.

Usually for uploading Master Data, better to use LSMW since programming is very less. But, in case is there any standard BAPI use BAPI and again u need to create flat file in standard format as per BAPI.

Also it depends on the method which is followed by Client / recommended method of your Team Lead.

I would prefer 1) BAPI

2) LSMW and

3) Call Transaction / Session.

Reward Points for Useful!!!

Regards,
