The order number can be no longer than 14 characters so if you want to add a prefix you will have to adjust the number of characters that make up the rest of the order number.
* Locate the file 'OrderScript.pl' within your site folder and open it using 'Notepad' or a similar text editor.
* Search for '0000000'. You should find the following line:
$::s_sOrderNumber = $sInitials . $sPostCode . substr($$::g_pSetupBlob{CGI_ID}, -1) . substr("0000000" . $nCounter, -7);
* This is made up of the following:
$sInitials = customers initials
$sPostCode = last 4 characters of the postcode
substr($$::g_pSetupBlob{CGI_ID}, -1) = last digit of the cgi-script ID number
substr("0000000" . $nCounter, -7) = 7 digit sequential number
* In this example we will create a prefix of three letters ('ACT') and then only have 4 characters for the sequential number, rather than 8.
* Change the line to:
$::s_sOrderNumber = "ACT" . $sInitials . $sPostCode . substr($$::g_pSetupBlob{CGI_ID}, -1) . substr("00000" . $nCounter, -4);
Change "ACT" as required.
* Save and close the file and update your site.
If you want to change the length of the postcode characters to accommodate the prefix then change the postcode part to:
substr($sPostCode, -2)
This will show the last two characters of the postcode. You can also remove any of the items except the sequential number part at the end.
