What is the difference between LSMW and BDC?

Answer Posted / priyanka j

BDC and LSMW both are tools to transfer data from non-sap
to sap syatem and vice-versa.

LSMW contains 14 steps available in radio buttons that
directs you and takes you to the end of the process where
the data is transfered, tcode --> lsmw.

BDC has two methods 1. Call transaction method ; 2. Session
method. Here we need to write code to accomplish the
process or we can record steps of a certain process like
ex: creating a table with se11. Tcode--> SHDB and sm35
resepectively.

Amongst the two BDC is preferred more than LSMW as there
are more chances of errors in lsmw.
