About the Invoice Filename Generator

Year-end with a folder called "invoices" full of files named invoice.pdf, invoice (1).pdf, Invoice_final.pdf and scan0043.pdf is a small disaster that happens to almost every small business once. A naming convention prevents it, and the convention only works if it is applied exactly the same way every time.

This builds filenames from a pattern — date, invoice number, client, amount, document type — in an order you choose, with the date written year-first so files sort chronologically on any system. Characters that break on Windows, macOS or cloud storage are removed, long client names are shortened consistently, and the length stays well inside path limits.

Paste a list of invoices and it names them all at once, ready to copy into a rename script or to use as a reference while filing. It also suggests a folder structure that matches, because a good filename in a bad folder layout is only half the fix.
