You can set a separate counter per each website. To do this please switch between websites you need and set the right counter for each site.

To make your business documents numbers unique you can use different variables. Please check this list to find the required ones:

• {counter} for counter;
• {store} for store name;
• {yyyy} for full year display;
• {yy} for shortened year display;
• {m} for short month display;
• {mm} for full month display;
• {d} for short day display;
• {dd} for full day display;
• {country_code} for a country code display.

If you type ORD-{yy}-{mm}-{dd}-{counter} in the field, you will have order numbers of the kind: ORD-13-08-15-000077. When you use a {country_code} variable, a country from the shipping address will be used for generating the country code.
