Custom Code for Auto incrementing

Question

Hello, 
 I am trying to build a module in Sugar Sell. I have been trying to import records with ID's 601-1188. Once imported I need the records to auto increment as there entered. Sugar Support has told me that I would need to use a custom code level modification. I am new to Sugar and was hoping someone could help.

did you add an autoincrement field like this? 
 
 and then simply set the next number new records should start from

Hi Laura, 
 If you need to retain the original reference numbers, you'll probably need to 
 ask Sugar support to switch off the autoincrement at database level for that field. Then import your records Then set the next increment number for that field in Studio Then ask support to enable autoincrement on that field again. Hope that helps.
