This is a forum to help our community. When you resolve an issue under SAP guidance or by yourself please document the process so others can benefit from it.

People who are looking for an answer, use Parallel Buffering. You can find plenty of notes on it.

Dear Customer,

In SD module, the gaps in invoice number may be caused normally due to

two reasons:

- update interruptions - the number is set in to the invoice at the

beggining of the program . If an interruption of the process happens

after the assignation of this number, the number has run in the range

and cannot be recovered. Update terminations in transaction VF01 and

VF04. The billing document number is reserved prior to the update.

After a possible update termination, it cannot be used again.

Update terminations are displayed in transaction SM13. At present,

is no possible solution.

- Object RV_BELEG is buffered. In this case the performace is improved

but this gaps are produced.

I am sorry to tell you that there is no way to solve the gaps or to

'refill' the missing invoice numbers.

There is a report RFBNUM00 that shows the gaps regarding the FI-

document numbers.

But for the SD invoice numbers you could do a hardcopy of the update

termination that caused the invoice number gap; this termination can

be seen in the syslog.

We know that in different countries you have to explain document gaps

to Legal Authorities.

For this reason there is report RFVBER00 to document gaps occured due

to an update termination. The report RFVBER00 does only list update

terminations that are not older than 50 days (or according to what time

is maintained in your system).

So it could be that this log has already been cleaned up.

It is necessary that these update terminations are documented before

the 50 days expire.

Or a second possibility is that the gaps occured NOT due to an update

termination.

Gaps without update terminations cannot be (easily) explained.

They can be (only) detected via report RFBNUM00.

Report RFBNUM00 displays these document number gaps for the number range

object RF_BELEG.

The only thing I can offer to you is to monitor the VBRK numbers

carefully.

To fulfill the legal requirements I would recommend to document the

number gaps but not to add any invoice numbers manually.

regards

Claudia
