Thank you.
This may be the issue.

AFAIK Order entry should not update single row global parameter setting
table. Order id and numbers, order detail row ids and row order numbers  are
read from PostgreSql sequence tables using nextval. Hopefully this cannot
cause the issue.
Specific for this site there every order entry invokes lot of tiny updates
for single row foreign key fields on large rid table which are shown below.
Not sure that they cause delay.

Issue is reported by users later, I cannot access to server at the time when
issue occurs. Users can report exact time when issue occured.
How to set additional logging for find reason for this after issue is
reported?

I optimized postgresql.conf to mized server using Tuning Wizard and  added

log_lock_waits = on
log_temp_files = 2000
log_min_duration_statement = 10000
log_line_prefix='%t %u %d '
log_min_error_statement = warning

to end of postgresql.conf

How to tune logging so that reason is logged if this happens again ??
