GRN number is discontinuous

[Former Member]

Dear all,

Our auditor noted that the GRN number in our SAP is discontinuous. Should the GRN be continuous? What happens if the GRN is discontinuous in the system? Does the GRN be deleted/blocked/missed? How can I know why those GRN disappeared?

Thanks for your help!

Hi

This issue with the internal number assignment occurs due to buffering in the application server. Buffering increases the performance of the server and documents don't loose their properties. Nevertheless, it may cause gaps in the internal number assignment and sometimes the numbers may not be chronologically assigned. As I stated before, this won't cause inconsistencies in the system and is usually not an inconvenient, unless you require sequential number assignment in your documents due

to legal reasons. In this case, you'll have to disable buffering in the application server.

in order to disable buffering Just access transaction SNRO and enter the Object type MATBELEG http:// Number Range for Material and Phys. Inventory Document In change mode, in the menu bar, please, follow the path:

Edit -> Set-up buffering -> No buffering

Check note 62077 which describes this issue in detail
