• Key Concepts: 
  Buffering is a feature of SAP's Client/Server Technology (BC-CST) that allows data to be stored in memory for faster access. It is used to reduce the amount of time it takes to access data from the database, as well as to reduce the amount of network traffic. Buffering can be used for both read and write operations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use buffering, you must first enable it in the system settings. Once enabled, data will be stored in memory and accessed more quickly than if it were accessed directly from the database. You can also specify which types of data should be buffered, such as master data or transaction data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using buffering, it is important to monitor the amount of memory being used. If too much memory is being used, it can cause performance issues. Additionally, you should consider disabling buffering for certain types of data that are not frequently accessed or updated.
