• Key Concepts: 
  RAP early numbering is a feature of the BC-ESI-RAP RESTful ABAP Programming Model. It allows developers to assign a unique number to each request that is sent to the server. This number is used to identify the request and track its progress through the system. The number is also used to ensure that requests are processed in the correct order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use RAP early numbering, developers must first enable it in their system. This can be done by setting the parameter “rap_early_numbering” to “true” in the system configuration. Once enabled, each request sent to the server will be assigned a unique number. This number can then be used to track the progress of the request and ensure that it is processed in the correct order. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using RAP early numbering, it is important to ensure that requests are sent in the correct order. If requests are sent out of order, then they may not be processed correctly or may take longer than expected. Additionally, it is important to keep track of the numbers assigned to each request so that they can be tracked and monitored.
