Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the issue of non-sequential internal order number assignment. It explains that gaps in order numbers occur due to buffer settings in the SAP system, which assigns numbers in blocks to enhance performance and accommodate parallel postings. Users are advised to maintain the current buffering configuration for performance efficiency. If sequential numbering is essential, buffering can be deactivated, or an alternative method involving local file saving can be employed. Manipulating the number range to force sequential order is discouraged due to the risk of update errors. Further guidance is referred to in SAP Note 62077.
