LIS vs LO

LIS & LO extractors- LIS is old technique through which we can load the data. Here we use typical delta and full up-loading techniques to get data from an logistics application, it uses V1 and V2 update, it means that it was a synchronous or asynchronous update from the application documents to LIS structures at the time when the application document was posted.

LO Cockpit is new technique which uses V3 which is an update that you can schedule, so it does not update at the time when you process the application documents, but it will be posted at a later stage. Another big difference between LO and LIS is that, you have separate datasources for header level, item level and schedule line level available in LO, you can choose at which level you want to extract your data and switch off others, which results in reduced data.When you configure LIS structure in ECC, the system environment  needs to be opened for changes where else not required for LO.
