These articles capture BC-specific mechanics agents still invert: partial-record JIT on writes, Reset clearing SetLoadFields, HttpClient inside write transactions, and batched number series, plus negative guidance that stops over-eager Query and IsEmpty "fixes".

# Batch number-series calls instead of GetNextNo per insert

## Description
|
|
|
|
`Codeunit "No. Series".GetNextNo` updates and locks the number-series line on every call. A tight `Insert` loop that asks for a number per row serializes every concurrent writer on that series — the classic SaaS posting bottleneck. Training data still copies the per-row C/AL `NoSeriesManagement` shape. Codeunit `"No. Series - Batch"` issues numbers in memory and writes the series line once via `SaveState`. `NumberSequence` is the alternative when gaps are acceptable.
|
|
|
|
## Best Practice
|
|
|
|
Inside a multi-row insert, call `"No. Series - Batch".GetNextNo` per row and `SaveState` once after the loop when the series must remain gapless. Use `NumberSequence.Next` when holes are allowed. Do not replace a single `OnInsert` `GetNextNo` for one master record; that path is not the hotspot.
|

|

|
|
|
|
## Anti Pattern
|
|
|
|
`NoSeries.GetNextNo(...)` inside `repeat ... Insert ... until Next() = 0`. Each iteration takes the series lock. The signal is `"No. Series"` (not `"No. Series - Batch"`) in a loop that inserts more than one row.
