Whenever I tried to export my solution I saw following settings and got confused which settings I need to pick and which settings I don’t need. After doing some Google I got some useful details about these settings. Some settings are clear but some needs clarification I have explained these settings in detail below.
If you want to import or export solution please check following link

If you check any of the above settings in your Dev environment it will take these settings to your UAT environment and so on. If you are taking your solution from UAT to Production please be careful otherwise it will overwrite the existing settings with the new one. Below is the list which tells us what settings we keep and what settings to leave.
Auto-Numbering
If you select Auto-Numbering check box all the prefix settings will go with the solution. If you have a product than I think you don’t need to take these settings to the client machine because client might have different settings for auto-numbering. Below is the list of auto-numbering settings.
1. Camping Prefix
2. Case Prefix
3. Contract prefix
4. Invoice prefix
5. Article prefix
6. Order prefix
7. Unique String Length
