3595479 - Delivery Number is not Incremental - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

When creating deliveries (Inbound, Outbound, Posting Change, ...) right after or close to each other, there is a big difference in the delivery number or the delivery number is not incremental.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Create 2 deliveries right after or very close to each other.
2. See there is a big difference in delivery number / the number is not incremental.

Numbers for the delivery documents are drawn from a Number Range object. In order to improve runtimes a buffering mechanism is available which buffers a set of numbers to be consumed per application server. Depending on which application server is used when the delivery is created the number might be drawn from a different set of numbers buffered.

Refer to SAP Note 1843002 to gain a deeper understanding of how SAP's number range buffering functions. This note explains the technical details and rationale behind the buffering mechanism.
