    Another issue Date and invoice number has to be in top right corner of invoice as standard. If copies in ring binder can be seen easily when searching for an invoice ....in any event date and invoice number will usually be coincidental. Even if invoice copies are filed by custome name

    sorry did not complete my comment..
    .... date has to be in stadard format and invoice in simple numerical sequence.....A customer getting invoice with 20231123-01..is meaningless ...next month same customer might get 20231216-06
    XERO provides numerical invoice sequence you can file by invoice number or date .... if say terms are 28 days easy for customer to work out

    Year/month/day is qute impractical ..never seen before in 50 yrs.
    You cannot file in date order (if not alphabetical)
    Has to be day/month/year

    USA version month/day/year not ideal either
