I'm migrating Quote record of one salesforce instance to another Salesforce instance. The Quote number in source org is in Q-{MM}{YY}-{0000} format.
I have changed the quote format in my target environment.
Can I move the quotes record with same Quote number to the target environment, given that Quote Number is standard field and I can't change it to text first?
If not what other options I have to maintain the Quote Number from the Target?
Your objective is not possible
Because QuoteNumber is autonumber standard field, any insert into Quote will get the next available number
The best you can do is to:
LegacyQuoteNumber__c or something like this (make it an external id) and
This is possible. Firstly in the target org change the quote number format to text and do your import. The source org quote numbers will be preserved. Now convert it back to autonumber and provide a a new start number, one after the maximum of your source org. That it. Job done. This works because behind the scenes the quote number is just a text field.
Quote Number) is an autonumber and, as far as I know, not customizable to fit your format - just always{00000000}.Quote Nameis a text field and you could set whatever in it.
