Confirmation on Magento multistore bug?

[manish_ramsoekh]

Dear Forum,

I wanted to migrate from Magento 1.9 to Magento 2.2.5. Magento 2 was successfully installed, also the installation of the theme went smoothly, installing the necessary extensions worked OK.

Then the pain began, I paid a company to migrate the data for me, all orders and invoices were there (order times migrated in a different timezone so all migrated order times were 6 hours ahead compared to my timezone) and also product and cms-pages were migrated.

I have two storeviews, in Magento 1.9:  one storeview would link to ordernumber: 100000xxx and invoicenumber 100000xxx . The other storeview would link to  ordernumber: 300000xxx and invoicenumber 300000xxx. I had two separate sequences of ordernumbers and invoicenumbers for my two storeviews ( I need this because of VAT and TAX issues.

After the data migration to Magento 2 my storeviews did not have separate order and invoicenumbers sequences. After two weeks of trial and error of the company who did the data migration came back to me stating that it is a Magento 2 bug. Both storeviews cannot have their own separate invoice sequence but both storeviews must use the same sequence, example ordernumber 10000xxx1 would get invoice 10000xxx1, ordernumber (other storeview) 30000xxx1 would get invoice 1000xxx2. The company advised me to contact Magento for the bug.

Can anyone confirm to me that the company is right and that it is a bug? Also my invoicenumbers have grown one digit more, the company stated that Magento 2 has to add one digit more, nothing to do about it, different architecture. Is this true?

Thanks a lot for your help and advise in advance!

Best regards,

Manish

Hi @manish_ramsoekh

I understand the problem you are facing !

Directly coming to your question - Firstly yes magento 2 have order sequence number like this - 000000030 - so i think its same as magento 1 or you have one digit less in magento 1 ? - because as known as i know both have same invoice range/digits.

Regarding your second and main question of invoice number series - i have double check that if we have a single website and multiple store/storeview then invoice series number will be same - meaning no series number difference is there 

but if we have multi website setup like second website and second store - then yes it have different invoice series number 

so on a conclusion on store level invoice number series will be the same !

But here i would suggest - check in your magento 1 setup over there you might have installed any third-party extension to achieve that functionality

Hope it helps !

Let me know if you required more help on the same point.
