Internal Number range:Issue

Hi,

I am using the internal number range for the employee number creation.

Scenario:

Suppose I have created 13 employee in the organization so far.By mistake I created the wrong employee record(Employee number 00000013).

Now when I delete any existing employee (say "John" with the employee number as 00000013) using the Tcode PU00, I face the following issue:

I am able to delete the record (all the associated infotypes) successfully.

Now when I try to re-create the employee using tcode PA40, it always creates the employee wtih the next number (00000014) and not with 00000013.

I want the new correct employee to have the employee number as 00000013.

Can you please advise?

Regards

Manish
