Change the Contract ID number to match existing contracts

I'm trying ot figure out how to change the Salesforce.com contract ID numbers to start from 20635 instead of 100 as we already have a numbering system in place. Any ideas on how to change the default or starting value for this field?

 

Thanks in advance,

Matthew C

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to change the salesforce.com generated contract ID. however, you can very easily create a custom field on the contract, and populate that field with your in-house contract ID. this field will be exposed via the API, so you can do integrations referencing this custom field accordingly.

You can do this by editing field in SF Classic. It's possible only form the field list.
