As further matter on the issue of numbers, I've just been trying to
prise some money out of a multi-national's Accounts Payable dept. They
do everything based on the their PO number and our invoice number alone,
even the date is something to squabble about later.
I asked what would happen if we offered two invoices with the same
number and the lady said the second one could not be entered on their
system, it would be put to one side. I'd have to deal with them directly
to get it paid. Inevitably, this "would lead to some delay in payment",
i.e. the 30 days would start all over again. Worth mentioning I think.
