Liver - immediately below the diaphragm but above stomach, contains hepatpcytes that produce bile, process fats, amino acids, make new amino acids, convert ammonia to urea, make glucose, amino acids, store excess glucose, store fat soluble vitamins, generate heat to warm passing blood, remove poisons, and to act as a filter before the intestines.

The pancreas located below the liver is two things: exocrine gland - secreting digestive enzymes, and endocrine gland - secreting hormones into the blood stream. Since they are alkaline secretions the help neutralize the acidic-ness of stomach contents.

In short they are both required for digestion.
