A. B.

B.

The proposed solution to create a new number sequence using the number sequence wizard does not directly address the reported issue of non-continuous purchase order number generation during bulk creation.

A number sequence is a series of unique identifiers that are assigned to transactions or records in Dynamics 365 Finance. These sequences can be used to generate purchase order numbers, invoice numbers, and other types of transactional numbers.

Creating a new number sequence may provide a new set of unique identifiers to use for purchase orders, but it is not guaranteed to improve the performance of generating purchase order numbers in a continuous configuration during bulk creation.

To improve performance, it is necessary to identify the root cause of the issue. Some potential causes could be related to the system configuration, settings, or performance issues. A system administrator should investigate the issue further by analyzing the system logs, monitoring system resources, and reviewing the purchase order creation process.

Once the root cause is identified, the system administrator can take corrective actions, such as adjusting system settings or optimizing system performance, to improve purchase order creation performance.

Therefore, the proposed solution does not meet the goal of improving the performance of purchase order number generation in a continuous configuration during bulk creation. The correct answer is B. No.
