Sometimes there might be complaints from the client / consultants that some document numbersare getting skipped.
Scenario
:For example, customer numbers generated are 4676, 4677, 4681, 4682, 4683 and so on. Thenumbers between 4677 and 4681 are missing. What could be the reason?
Reason
:This is due to buffering. The Number range object for customer master is DEBITOR. See thefollowing screenshot from the transaction SNRO:From the above screenshot, you can observe that the "No. of numbers in buffer" is set to 5. Sothe first time a number from this number range object is requested, first set of 5 numbers arestored in buffer. Next time, when a number is requested it is fetched from the buffer instead ofhitting the database table NRIV. Whenever the buffer is empty, it is refilled with the next set of 5numbers.Now consider that the customer numbers from 4676 to 4680 are stored in the buffer. 4676 and4677 are utilized for creating customer numbers. Now assume that the buffers have been reset(Transaction SM56). Next time when you request for the customer number, the number 4681 isretrieved and the number 4681 to 4685 are passed to the buffer.So when we use number range objects using buffering ON, there are chances for some gaps inthe document numbers. So make sure that you do not use buffering for the legal documents.Procedure to reset the buffers manually:
