Skipping of number in number sequence.

Posted on by D365Technical Learner 5

Hi,

Please anyone know that why the number sequence is not re-use even the "continuous" check box in the number sequence form is selected?

In my case, I have created PO  and then Canceled and Deleted it immediately. Then, when I create another new PO the running number is not re-used.

Ex.

1) I create PO (I get PO no. 001)

2) I delete/Cancel PO no. 001

3) Again I create PO (I get PO no. 002)

So now my PO no. is skip and not continuous.

Thank you.

Canceled in this way.

    Edit: When I saw Andre's link, I thought I had sent the same link, but then I realized that I added the wrong link.

    I am entering a different link so that those who will review this title in the future do not waste time. This is a 365 link, but it will be more helpful than a link that has nothing to do with the topic.

    Hi D365 Technical Learner,

    It might take a while until the skipped / deleted number gets reused.

    You can check that in your number sequence configuration.

    Most of the time an automatic reuse is initiated on a daily basis.

    You can change that timing of course.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi D365Technical Learner.

    Have a look at a very old question with replies. It explains different scenarios and root causes.

    community.dynamics.com/.../ax2012-r2-number-seqeunce-continuous-option

    Probably the PO numbering is not supporting the continuous option. Or the old number is in the status list not released for re-use yet. There is usually no legal requirement to have PO numbers continuous.
