Customer internal number range increasing by 5nos.

[Former Member]

Dear ALL,

We have currently been using internal number ranges for customer creation.

while creation of customers, the system suddenly started to increase the automatic number assigned to new customer in intervals of 5.

eg. if the last customer created was 30000, then the next customer created get alloted number 30005. however it should have been 30001.

Kindly help on the issue.

Regards

Search in forum,

hope there might be buffer % mentioned in Object: Debitor , check in SNRO with the mentioned object.

This is due to Number Range Buffering.

use T-COde SNRO & select object DEBITOR.

Here there is a option for Buffer. Deselect the option or make it Zero.

Buffering is basically given for a case where Master Data is created by multiple users from multiple locations at a single point of time. Thus in such if Number Ranges are not Buffered then system would not generate numbers in sequence. Thus we have a option of Buffering.

But it leads to gaps in assigning Number Ranges. Thus it is advisable to set Buffering to Zero.

ALso check Number Ranges Buffering for KREDITOR (Vendors) & MATERIAL (Material Master).

Hope this helps...

Also please check SDN Forums before creating new thread...

Thanks,
