Service Order No Ranges Not getting generated Sequentially.

[shareeq_hussain]

Dear Experts,

Created a Service Order Type ZWS3 and Assigned the No Range (14300001-14400000).

We created an Order on 17.05.2011 with the no 14300062 , the next Order was created on 18.05.2011 with the no 14300053.

Buffering is ok. The New Order nos are sometimes smaller the the earlier orders. Please help.

Regards,

Shareeq

Hi,

With buffering switched on and if you have multiple application servers, each server will maintain its own set of buffered numbers. If server B has the numbers 0060-0069, first order created will be 0060. Server A may have the numbers 0050-0059. Orders created here will therefore have lower number than those from server B.

See note [62077|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/62077] that gives further explination.
