Oficial document numbers are not consecutive

Question

Localization for Argentina
We bill a sales order and it determines the Argentina Oficial document number automatically .(ej:  00000021 )., and then passes that info to the accounting interfase with the same document number.(ej:  00000021 ).
If a problem arises, and the logistics billing document does not pass over to accounting, the generated official document number still remains as used.
Then, next sales order billing will use following number 00000022 for both, logistic and accounting documents.
As per Logistics view, you have a correct sequence 00000020, 0021, 0022, etc.
As per accounting view you have only documents 00000020 and 00000022.
And that is not allowed by Argentinian laws.
Did anyone have faced the same problem?
How can I do to avoid an official number usage by a logistics document not transferred to accounting?
Many thanks

Answer 1

I have not faced issue in the particular area but in some customised development where we need the numbers to be in sequence....The solution surely depends on the usage of the logistics usage of the particular number ..I would suggest to assign a temporary number during the logistics process while the final number is assigned on passing the document to accounting. It could be further simplified by using different starting numbers...example in logicstics you can use the number 90000021 while in accounting the corresponding number is 00000021. Surely you can replace the 9 with 0 on passing the document to accounts (if required)
OR
Another way is to have a Ztable to store the corresponding numbers in logicstics and accounts...so you can surely maintain the sequence.
