Hello Sachin,

Before reusing a document number range, please read oss note 781802. It is usually not recommended to do this as it can cause problems with inconsistent results when trying to view archived data. The conclusion of this oss note states:

OSS NOTE 781802

Avoid reusing document numbers, and only do so if you are certain that the date identification will not be lost in the system. You will experience loss of functions when you access old data. While, you can implement technical access using the structure of appropriate indexes in most cases without any major problems, you can no longer determine the document links in the DRB correctly. The standard programs for a business view display on archived data will also not work.

We therefore recommend that you allow a sufficiently large number supply when restarting the numbering procedure. In addition, check that not too many unused numbers were lost due to the selection of the number range buffering.

You should only consider reusing document numbers if the effort of implementing a numbering procedure that avoids reusing document numbers, exceeds the effort of avoiding the problems given in this note, and if it is sufficient for the full functional capacity of the data display and object links to only be available for data in the database.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
