3150961 - Purchase Requisition Numbering is not sequence

Symptom

The Purchase Requisitions created are not in same numbering sequence or you see gaps in the document number assigned when the PR is created.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Cause

  • This is standard system behavior.
  • When the buffer is active, User cannot choose server or workplace manually during process, thus user cannot control if
    the document numbers are continuous or not in case the buffer is active.

Resolution

Requisition number is buffered in order to increase the performance of the server, and to ensure that documents don’t lose their properties. This may cause gaps in the internal number assignment and sometimes the numbers may not be continuously assigned. However this does not cause inconsistencies in the system
