Lenght for the order number

[stonda]

Actually the order number given by actinic to each of my order is 14 digits. Wa have linked the database with an invoice software on which order number cannot be longer than 10. Is it a way to get a shorter order number ? If not, if i take the 10 digit on the right of this number, can I be sure that I will never get duplicate number ?
Thanks

That should be safe. The numeric bit of the order number is generated in sequence.
