Hi Pooja,

SAP has come up with Live cache concept for storage and most important, quick and efficient processing of transactional data. Its a layer between data base and GUI and even the search methods and storage space has been optimized due to its structure. In DP it is used for storage of time series data whereas in SNP it can store both time series and order series data.

Regarding your second query, it is recommended to have Live cache consistency on a periodic basis for synchrinising data between LC and database tables. You can face many issues due to LC inconsistency as incorrect time series generation, Transactional data discrepancy, COM routine errors during background processing etc.

Let me know if it helps

Dear Pooja,

every master data( like product/ Location/ lanes ) in APO are stored in Tables & every transaction data( sales order/ purchase order, production order) are stored both in tables & also in Live Cache. As APO uses lot of data in planning processing it takes less time to extract data from Live cache than to extract from tables. So to store time series data used in demand plannig it is stored in time series Live Cache.

Hope this helps you.
