A. B.B.
The solution of running the automatic cleanup of number sequences job does not meet the goal of improving performance for generating continuous purchase order numbers during bulk creation. The automatic cleanup of number sequences job is used to remove unused number sequences, which can help improve system performance, but it is not directly related to generating continuous purchase order numbers.
To improve performance for generating continuous purchase order numbers during bulk creation, the system administrator should review the current number sequence setup for purchase orders. It is possible that the number sequence is configured with a high increment value, causing the non-continuous configuration of purchase order numbers. The administrator should adjust the increment value to a lower number to generate purchase order numbers more continuously.
Additionally, the system administrator should check for any customization or third-party add-ons that might be impacting the performance of generating purchase order numbers. If there are any such components, they should be reviewed and updated or removed if necessary to improve performance.
In summary, the solution provided does not address the issue of non-continuous purchase order numbers during bulk creation. The system administrator should review the number sequence setup and any relevant customization or add-ons to improve the performance of generating continuous purchase order numbers during bulk creation.
