Summary :
Gaps and misalignments in number assignments manifest when internal numbers are allocated due to the application server’s use of number range buffering. When buffering is active, numbers are reserved in blocks and assigned from the server’s memory, rather than being fetched individually from the database. This speeds up performance and prevents database locking, but can cause gaps if a server goes down before all numbers in the block are assigned. To maintain continuity, number range buffering can be disabled via Transaction SNRO for specific objects needing sequential numbering. Adjustments in buffering settings, however, require careful handling to avoid overriding during updates.
