How to find the missing customer numbers

[Former Member]

A customer number range starting from 800000 to 889999 has been defined in the system. However we have observed

that there are some numbers missing in between the master.i.e. (ex : 801611,801612,801613,801614  & 801697,801698,801699) . We have also concluded that this is as a result of ' No. of numbers in buffer : 5'  in T. Code SNRO; object Debitor.

Kindly inform how to find out where the above numbers would be used or any report/ OSS note which would provide the same.

Hello,

As you & others have already pointed this is due to Number Range Buffering setting for your Debitor Number Range.

Firstly if skipping of number range is a case of concern for you, remove the Buffering settings.

Secondly for re-using the missed (skipped) numbers, it will be very difficult to use them again as system as already skipped these numbers & go ahead sequentially. You will have to set the Number Range to External & then manually re-use the missed numbers.

Thus I suggest to let go & ensure that number are no skipped in future.

Hi,

This is due to buffering. The Number range object for customer master is DEBITOR

Thanks... I wanted to understand whether the missing nos would be used and assigned somewhere else or they will be lost completely?
