Ask three people to save the same invoice.
You’ll get:
“Invoice_Acme_Oct”
“ACME 10-15 inv”
“scan0047.pdf”
Nobody did anything wrong. They each did it their own way.
But six months from now, someone searches for that invoice. Which name do they guess?
This is why consistent naming matters more than most people think. When documents are captured and named automatically, it doesn’t matter who’s at the keyboard. The file ends up named the same way every time, in the same place, ready to find.
What’s the strangest file name you’ve ever found on a shared drive? 😄👇
