Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the implementation and management of number range buffering, specifically for IS-H number ranges. Buffering can enhance performance by allowing number retrieval directly from memory, bypassing database queries. However, it may result in non-consequent numbering and potential skipping of numbers. These drawbacks should be carefully weighed against the benefits before applying buffering, especially for critical sequences like invoice document numbers that require consecutiveness and completeness. The decision to buffer should be based on specific requirements for sequence integrity and system performance.
