Innovation, safety and efficiency form the backbone of their operations — including behind the scenes, where they invest in process optimisation within SAP.

The challenge: LSMW falls short for master data changes

For large-scale data updates in SAP, the organisation relied on LSMW. However, when a mass change was required in the Business Partner master data, this approach proved insufficient. The update involved an add-on within the SAP R/3 system — something LSMW simply couldn’t handle. As a result, there was an urgent need for an alternative, reliable solution to carry out large-scale data modifications.

The solution: process automation tooling, immediately deployable and future-proof

This manufacturer chose for process automation tooling which enabled them immediately safe and fast mass changes in SAP without the need for custom development. The solution proved not only suitable for the intended Business Partner update but also immediately offered the capability to easily manage numerous other objects within SAP. This not only resolved the urgent issue but also opened the door to broader process automation within SAP.

The result; quickly operational and fully supported

The organisation has now a flexible and scalable solutions for all mass changes within SAP.
