[ Number Formatting](http://www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/42227-how-to-change-order-number-invoice-number.html) This option is only available in the Commercial Version (Essentials/Business) Otherwise, if you have the ability to connect to the database table via phpMyAdmin or Navicat (I use Navicat), you can set the auto increment value to 8000 in the table **\#\_\_\_hikashop\_order** on fields **order\_number** and **order\_invoice\_number** Depending on your business rules, they do not have to be the same values. The formatting is found under table #___hikashop_config on the field order_number_format. My format is set for SUM-{id size="5"}-{date format="Ymd"} which will result in something like this: **SUM-01019-20160511** Hope that helps, Kelso Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI1LWluc3RhbGwtdXBkYXRlLzg4NDUwMi1ob3ctdG8tY2hhbmdlLXN0YXJ0aW5nLXBvaW50LWZvci1vcmRlci1udW1iZXJzP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[NanoPlanet](/forum/user/34445-nanoplanet "View NanoPlanet's Profile")** - [![NanoPlanet's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/34445-nanoplanet "View NanoPlanet's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/34445-nanoplanet) Less More - Posts: 52 - Thank you received: 1 - - 10 years 5 months ago [\#240082](#240082) by [NanoPlanet](/forum/user/34445-nanoplanet "View NanoPlanet's Profile") Replied by *[NanoPlanet](/forum/user/34445-nanoplanet "View NanoPlanet's Profile")* on topic *[How to change starting point for order numbers?](/forum/25-install-update/884502-how-to-change-starting-point-for-order-numbers#240082 "-- url of the page with the problem -- : ojostore.digitaldemo.net -- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.3 -- Joomla version -- : 3.4.8 Hello there - I have a client who wants their order numbers to START at 8000.

Best, Leslie")* We have the Business edition, but while I see the area to define the order numbering format in the configuration, I can't figure out how to get the order sequence to begin at 8000.
