Magento 1.9.4.1 Setting up order IDs for different store views under the same store

Question

When checking the order increments for some stores i found the following:

+------------+--------------+------------+----------+------------------+-------------------+------------------+
| group_name | website_name | store_name | store_id | increment_prefix | increment_last_id | entity_type_code |
+------------+--------------+------------+----------+------------------+-------------------+------------------+
| 1          | Website 1    | English    |        1 | 1                | 100008323         | order            |
| 1          | Website 1    | English    |        1 | 1                | 100006497         | invoice          |
| 1          | Website 1    | English    |        1 | 1                | 100004841         | shipment         |
| 2          | Website 1    | English    |        1 | 1                | 100000018         | creditmemo       |
| 2          | Website 2    | Dutch      |        2 | 2                | 200000332         | invoice          |
| 2          | Website 2    | Dutch      |        2 | 2                | 200000012         | creditmemo       |
| 2          | Website 2    | Dutch      |        2 | 2                | 200000392         | order            |
| 2          | Website 2    | Dutch      |        2 | 2                | 200000246         | shipment         |
| 3          | Website 3    | English    |        6 | 6                | 600000001         | order            |
| 1          | Website 1    | Dutch      |        7 | 7                | 700001292         | order            |
| 1          | Website 1    | German     |        8 | 8                | 800000002         | order            |
+------------+--------------+------------+----------+------------------+-------------------+------------------+

Is it possible to change the order incremental id's of the stores with ID's 7 and 8, as 100001292 and 100000002 respectively -instead of 700001292 and 800000002?

The store with ID 1 (which belongs to the same website that contains the stores with IDs 7 and 8) has orders starting already with 10000XXXX. Would that pose any issues or is it something that would work out of the box in Magento 1?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. Change the column increment_prefix in the eav_entity_store table to the desired values.

Basically, this will helps to identify the ordered store.
