Dynamics 365 Business Central: the power of NumberSequence

Dynamics 365 Business Central

Number series in Dynamics 365 Business Central are designed for continuous numbering on transactional records and can cause locking with high concurrency.
The "Allow Gaps in Nos.." option allows for non-continuous and non-blocking numbering in Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Number series management in Dynamics 365 Business Central has been moved to the new Business Foundation layer for modularization.
Business Central supports number sequences built on SQL Server sequences for generating numeric identifiers.
Number sequences are extremely fast, especially for reserving ranges of numbers.
In Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1 release, two new codeunits in the Business Foundation layer handle number series: "No. Series" and "No. Series
Batch."
The "No Series
Batch" codeunit batches number series requests until SaveState() is called for better performance in batch transactions.
Using the NumberSequence.Range method allows for reserving a range of numbers before transactions for extreme performance with no locking.
