Documentation

Definition

Defines the period (in minutes) after which the buffering of a value in the cache can be updated asynchronously. When a user calls the value after this period has elapsed, the system still shows the buffered values from the cache. However, it then calculates the value anew. This period applies to the top n lists and the Accounts Receivable Accounting key figures.

Use

If you do not enter anything in this field, the system uses a default period of 5 minutes.

The cache is used by the Home Page Accounts Receivable Accounting application for the following CHIPs:

  • Top n customers with overdue outstanding amounts
  • Payment differences by reason code
  • Top n customers for each dunning level
  • Outstanding amounts by dunning level
  • Key figure: future outstanding amounts

In addition, it is also used for some key figures for the SAP Receivables Manager mobile app and for report FIN_AR_DUE_DATE_GRID.

Dependencies

Unlike synchronous buffering, asynchronous buffering is optional. For additional information, see Period for Synchronous Update of the Cache.

Example

  1. For the asynchronous update, define a period of 5 minutes.
  2. For the synchronous update, define a period of 10 minutes.
  3. The system determines the value 100,000 for the Future Outstanding Amounts key figure, and writes it to the cache.
  4. Over the next 5 minutes, any user who calls up the key figure sees the value 100,000. Invoices posted in the meantime are not taken into account.
  5. The first time the key figure is called after the 5 minutes but before 10 minutes has elapsed, the user still sees the value 100,000.
  6. After this, the system recalculates the key figure and updates the cache.
  7. The next user then sees the updated key figure.
