The system usually assigns Purchase Order numbers in a sequential manner. If a user deletes any Purchase Orders, those numbers will no longer be available in the system, and the sequential numbering cannot be maintained. Currently, there is a control for no gaps in the numbering of Supplier Invoices, but not for Purchase Orders. The system does not guarantee sequential or no gap numbering for Purchase Orders, but it does ensure that there will be no duplicate numbering. Since Purchase Orders in preparation can always be deleted, the requirement for no gaps cannot be fulfilled. Therefore, the lost numbers may be allocated randomly at any point in the future.

It is a standard system behavior.
