            My experience with many BPCS number assignments (CO, PO, etc) is that a number is assigned at the start of the process of generating the document, and the "last number" is incremented then in the Parameters File.  If the process is then aborted - such as deciding to NOT issue the invoice, the "last number" is not decremented because another invoice number could have been assigned in the meantime. So the number assigned is never used.

Subject: Missing Invoice Numbers

Hi,
    Has this happened to anyone else? Twice in the past two months, invoice numbers have been skipped.  The first time, the last number used on the 16th was 15740 and the next day the first number was 15743.  This time, the first number for the day was 16541 and the next number was 16543, in the same run. The missing numbers aren't in SIH/SIL. Everything looks OK, they just aren't there. Anyone have any ideas why this would happen, or if this is a problem?  Thanks!
