SAP Note 179224 - Doc.no.assignment for unbuffered number ranges

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues related to database locks caused by serial document number allocations in NRIV or NRIV_LOKAL tables as a result of the legal need for continuous, traceable document numbering, particularly in FI. With the introduction of the new NRIV_LOKAL method from Release 3.0B, numbers are managed per application server to comply with most legal frameworks, though this leads to parallel process locking at the instance level. The note outlines the technical adjustment of the NRIV_LOKAL buffer size by 260,000 bytes and includes changes needed for setup and potential problems like out-of-sequence numbering and unassigned ranges. It recommends setting up as many instances as resources permit and adjusting server parameters, highlighting constraints related to hardware, instance naming, and workload-specific buffering.
