Production Order Numbers Jumping Up/Not Sequential

We only use Released Production Orders (do not use simulated, planned, firm planned functionality), and are finding that our Production Order No. Series is skipping numbers.
We suspect this has something to do with the planning that BC is doing in the background.

I created and deleted three Released Production Orders in a row and got sequential numbers as expected - 194, 195, and 196. I then opened the Order Planning page and ran the "Calculate Plan". The next Released Production Order I created was 237.

Why is Order Planning "consuming" Production Order numbers? Is there a way to prevent this?

Note that in our Manufacturing Setup page, we've set Planned Order Nos., Firm Planned Order Nos., and Released Order Nos. to all use the same No. Series. We don't need a No. Series for Planned and Firm Planned since we don't use them, but Order Planning requires those to have a No. Series assigned.

Hi, This is standard behavior, so different No. Series are usually set. If you want to modify this behavior, I think you can only customize it.

Hopefully other experts can give you better advice.

Thanks
