• Key Concepts: 
  RAP late 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 can be used for debugging purposes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use RAP late numbering, developers must first enable it in the ABAP system. This can be done by setting the parameter “rap_late_numbering” to “true” in the system configuration. Once enabled, each request sent to the server will be assigned a unique number that can be used for debugging purposes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using RAP late numbering, it is important to remember that the numbers are assigned sequentially and are not necessarily related to the order in which requests are sent. Therefore, it is important to keep track of which requests have been sent and which numbers have been assigned.
