Recommendations for numbering of Invoices

The recommendation to allocate the Invoice Series/Number is the following:

  • Recommended set of characters: 0123456789ABCDEFEGHJKLMNPQRSTUVXYZ. We do not recommend you use lower-case letters.
  • Blank space: if you use this only one character will be used, and never any more.
  • Special characters: Dash '-', underscore '_', forward slash '/' and full stop '.'.
  • If the invoice identification includes the Series, we recommend that this comes first, followed by the invoice number with a space in between.
  • The invoice number must not start with blanks (therefore text adjusted to the left).
