Missing material sequence

[shraiya_nancy07]

Hi Sapiens,

I have been creating codes in number sequence, and I just noticed one code is missing from my newly created codes.

The code that is missing in number sequence is, 3003368. See below error message.

Could you tell me please ow to find out if this material number was created earlier and then it was deleted? Because I cant find this material in master data.

Thanks

It looks like your material numbering is set up for internal number assignment. Therefore you can't enter 3003368 material number in MM01. That's ok, that's how your system is set up.

I wouldn't worry about the "lost" number. Just go ahead and create a new material if you need one.

Best regards
