Autogeneration skipping numbers on Custom table

[Subhajit1]

I have setup auto generation of Record Numbers using the getNextObjNumberPadded() function.

But i have observed that the system is skipping a number while creating a new one. Suppose the last one was PQR0016 then the next one is coming as PQR0018.

Also, when approvals are generated for PQR0014, then in the Approval form for the Approval For field, PQR0017 is being shown. When clicked on the PQR0017, the system is redirecting me to PQR0018. Why is that and how can this be resolved?

Thanks,

Subhajit

Hi Subhajit,

Is there a way we can remove the dependency and avoid skipping numbers?

Thanks,
