Type of Updating 

In the LIS information systems, updating of statistical data can take place in two ways:

(Immediate start, i.e., when an event takes place that triggers an update)

(Delayed start, i.e., updating is slightly delayed after an event that triggers an update).

You can also turn the updating process off.

If you choose the asynchronous update for the updating of statistical data, a termination of the statistics update has no effect on the accurate update of the application document.

If you choose the synchronous update, a termination of the statistics update results in failure to update the document.

You can find further information about the updating concept in the System Administration Guide.

You can specify the type of updating for each information structure in Customizing. You need to make the appropriate settings in Customizing for the Logistics Information System. You can find detailed information in the Implementation Guide for the Logistics Information System.
