<p>There is an easy but hidden way to filter data in SAP LSMW projects when you deal with large data sets. Besides ABAP technics there is a standard SAP feature to enable additional selection screen fields with filters like we get used to seeing in any SAP report. ;</p>



<p>When we set up the source structure in our LSMW project, there is a small field we usually don&#8217;t pay attention to. It&#8217;s called the &#8216;Selection parameter for Import/Convert Data&#8217;.</p>

<p>This parameter automatically creates a selection screen parameter with filter capability in loading and converting steps in LSMW project.</p>

<p>Who does this job? Normally SAP Functional consultant builds the LSMW project but somebody like SAP HRIS Analyst loads data periodically. So if you&#8217;re from HRIS, let your colleagues know this feature because it could save you a lot of time!</p>
