You can easily set the default invoice/order values to combine the year WITH an auto incremented number by using special variables.
I'd give you an example but i don't use this feature.
If i remember correctly, It's all described in the version 2.6 manual under the "Defaults" chapter.
There was a list discussion of this topic a couple months ago. Check the list archives.
