Tip 150. Use the date of service as the invoice number.

What do you do if you generally don’t use an invoice number and need one? How can you make the number relevant to what you sold?

You can use a secret numbering system started by an ancient civilization that visited Earth three thousand years ago. Or you can just use the date of the service as the number.

For example: 070415 means July 4, 2015. The first two numbers are the month, the next two are the date, and the last two the year. By adding a letter to the end of the number, you can further expand its meaning. For example I means in state and O means out of state.

By using this system, you will always have a logical way to tie the invoice to the date of service.

Congratulations! Your number has finally come up.
