Summary :
SAP Note clarifies the challenge of using parallel buffering for number ranges while maintaining numbers in a strictly ascending order for legal compliance. For fully buffered intervals, numbers can be locked and sequentially controlled, but this results in performance drawbacks, as discussed. The implemented solution introduces a pseudo-ascending order where numbers might not be perfectly sequential due to the timing of transaction commits but ensures legal requirements are largely met. The solution involves special handling and database recording of numbers in rollback scenarios using enhanced buffering techniques and bespoke system modifications.
Key words :
number range object rf_beleg, continuous chronological ascending order, number range object, parameter no_buffer = 's', parameter no_buffer = 'x', relevant support package, function module number_get_next, parameter ignore_buffer = 's', number range intervals, number range objects
