We generate the Mercury invoice number in JavaScript based on the uid property of the order. That uid is generated by Order.generate_unique_id() which generates a 12 digit number. A decimal 12 digit number can contain a maximum value of 10^12 - 1 which requires 40 bits to store. The issue is that Integer fields by default are backed by a PostgreSQL integer type which is only 4 bytes. This means you can end up with an invoice number you won't be able to store in the database. In order to resolve this we will update the field to be a Float field instead which will result in a PostgreSQL double precision type which allows values up to 10^308. opw-671362
