Invoice number gap

[Former Member]

Hi Dears,

In one of our plant, after invoice no 110000296 next invoice no got generated as 110000311.

When we checked the invoice no 110000297, 298, 299....310 the invoice relates to 31.12.2006.

What could be the reason for this invoice gap.

We are maintaining Plant wise number ranges.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

The 2 possible reasons for number gaps can be:

- buffering in the number range object

- update terminations or database update failures while creating the invoices.

Kindly check these.

Hi Sankara,

I think you are using the check(Adapter) in User Exit in sales order.The exit NUMBER RANGE runs prior to saving the sales order or Invoice internally. So even if the check failed Internally the number ranges has generated.

you can also cross check VN01 t-code for your number range.

Please check this thread also.

It could be because of either of the following user exits would have been used

• USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE in program RV60AFZZ
• USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE_INV_DATE in program RV60AFZ

Take the help of technical team and check why there was a gap in billing document generation.  You can also search the forum with the text Billing Document number range bufferring.

Please check attached file. Example is the SNRO object. Buffering is the reason of GAP.
