    Default Customize Order Number Field

    Hi,

    Is there a way in which we can change the Order Number field so that it's not an "int" field, but is instead a "varchar" field. That is, can this be done through the system as it is, or would we need to make massive customizations to the database and code behind? What's happening is that when we integrate with our ERP system, we've had a few instances where the Order Numbers generated by StoreFront had been used by some of our other customers, so we'd like to add some characters to the order number to ensure that they're unique. Has anyone done this before?

    Thanks!

    Changing the DataType of the OrderNumber field requires a lot of modifications in the source and in the DB as well. There's nothing built-in that could do this, no.
