Magento2: invoice/order/creditmemo adjusting increment id length issue

[basselalaraaj]

When creating a order/invoice/creditmemo, the increment id length is always: prefix + 9 numbers.

The default pattern is now always used, when creating a order/invoice/creditmemo in
vendor/magento/module-sales-sequence/Model/Sequence.php::19
const DEFAULT_PATTERN = "%s%'.09d%s";

When adjusting the 'increment_pad_length' column value in the table 'eav_entity_type' to 6, i expected the increment id's to change to the format: prefix + 6 numbers.

example:
prefix = 7
id = 8

Expected increment id = 7000008
Actually increment id = 7000000008

@basselalaraaj you can create a di.xml for your shop defining the pattern for your customer. For instance:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <type name="Magento\Framework\DB\Sequence\SequenceInterface">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="pattern" xsi:type="string">%s%'.04d%s</argument>
        </arguments>
    </type>
</config>

As it says in the constant name of \Magento\SalesSequence\Model\Sequence::DEFAULT_PATTERN it is only a default value. You can replace it with dependency injection.
