Standard Naming Scheme Procedure
- The file name should always begin with the date of the document using the 6 digit date backwards format. ( 6th of February, 2019 would be 190206)

- The parts of the file name should each be separated by an underscore (“_”), no special characters and no spaces. Only underscores "_" separating the sections of the file name.
- The Next part of the file name should be an abbreviation of the first 3 letters of each word in the company name it relates to, with NO SPACES in between and CAPITALIZATION of the First Letter of each word. (e.e. "Melbourne Regional Landfill" would be "MelRegLan")

- After the company name indicate what the file is using a CAPITALIZED abbreviation (i.e. Invoice = INV, Statement = STA, Delivery Docket = DEL etc)

- The final part is the identifying number provided on the document (i.e. Invoice number, delivery docket number etc). If there is none this can be omitted
