Vendor code is automatically skipping

[srinivas_rao69]

Hi Frds,

When user is creating vendor master record vendor code will be generated automatically based on the number range,but some time vendor code is automatically skipping.

For expample the last number of vendor code is 200001 if user is creating new vendor master record system has to take sequency number(200002) but system is taking 200004.It is not happing all the times.

Thanks for your advance help.

Regards,

Hi Nivas,

Please kindly review the information contained under the following
SAP notes:

1817764 - Number range skip in Customer / Vendor Master Data

62077  - Info: Internal number assignment not continuous
141497 - Consulting: Buffering of number ranges
504875 - Buffering number ranges

Note 62077 explains numbering gaps. Please check whether the flag "main
memory buffering" is activated (transaction SPRO for object DEBITOR).
For more explanation about the use of this field, please review
the long text of F1 help.

"..Please note that this change is a modification. The modification is
overwritten as soon as the affected number range object is redelivered -
in other words, you must check the change manually each time you import
a release.
In particular, read Note 678501, bearing in mind that changing the
buffering type - if not explicitly recommended by SAP - constitutes a
modification..."

Therefore activated of buffer in number range is a modification.

Please kindly note that the problem occur as you can set buffering in
your system. In this case, you can improve the performance but have some
disadvantage,too.

1.  You may find that numbers are generated in a non-consecutive
    sequence.

2.  Under certain circumstances, certain numbers are not assigned at
    all, that is, these numbers are skipped.

Both the above-mentioned advantages and disadvantages should be taken
into account when considering whether buffering for a number range is to
be set. If you cannot do without a consecutive and complete sequence of
numbers (for example invoice document numbers/material document) for a
number range, you should not set buffering for this number range.

I hope I could help you solve this issues.

Best regards,

Zsuzsanna
