As MoazzaM said, Its mainly happened due to the number range buffer.
Let me tell you how the number range works, It certainly check two conditions - 1) it checks if there is an area for required number range interval in the buffer and 2) if the area is not yet full in buffer. If it meets these two, then the current number in the buffered is increased by specified interval and assigned to the caller. Now if there is another call from different callers for the same interval, the number will be increased and assigned to it. Most important is, if there is any rollback, the numbers are lost meaning you will find the gap.
As SAP suggested, if you have any legal requirements of having continuous number in documents, avoid using number range buffers.
Hope it helps in understanding better way.

Jaydip

Hi Sudheer,
Intervals are not maintained against customer number range it only shows the intervals "from" and "to".
Please check with your ABAP team.

Hi
Is it happening only in PRD? What about in QAS and DEV? Is it working fine with same configuration? Did you check in SNRO for object DEBITOR. If possible paste the screen here.
Thank$

Hi
In quality you are not facing this issue because you might have created only two or three customers may be. Numbe range buffering doesn't work on every new number. It works with some gaps and if you continuosly create customers in QAS you will see the same in there as well.
Go through following link and see the post by Balaji. This is how it works. If you don't want number range buffering you can try by removing No. of number in buffer. I don't think so this is a good idea and you need to tell your client that this is standard SAP and you can read more explanation from following link why SAP has number range buffering. This is not only for customer number. It works the same way for other objects as well like vendor number, material number and for all others.
