Option to Generate Sequential Numbers in Sequence Counter UI
Sequence counters guarantee the uniqueness of numbers generated and to ensure better performance, numbers may be generated slightly out of order. A new optional feature has been added to change this behavior to support warehouse operations that may depend on having a strict sequence. We have added a new flag “Enable Strict Sequence” in the Sequence Counter UI. Upon enabling this flag, the system will reserve the counter and generate the records in a sequential order. This should be used with caution as noted below.
Enable Strict Sequence Flag
NOTE:
- The flag is disabled by default.
- When enabling the flag, the system will alert you with a warning message “Enabling strict sequence may cause slow performance under heavy volumes”.
- Due to the system reserving the counter for generating sequential records, you may feel a performance impact when this flag is enabled. So, it should only be used for specific counters where you really need this. We still recommend designing warehouse operations to not be dependent on sequential numbers.
Steps to Enable
