Currently, order numbers are made up the customer initials, then the postcode, then a sequential number – totalling 14 characters.
If you want this to be shorter, use the following technique.
In this example we will replace the first part of the order number with three letters ('ACT') and then only have 5 characters for the sequential number, rather than 8.
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($$::g_pSetupBlob{CGI_ID}, -1) . substr("0000000" . $nCounter, -7);
Change the line to:
$::s_sOrderNumber = "ACT" . substr($$::g_pSetupBlob{CGI_ID}, -1) . substr("0000" . $nCounter, -4);
Change "ACT" as required.
