Guess first, no penalty. An invoice written day first says 08/09/2025. What date is that?
Here are 5 rows from a stack of scanned invoices (bills from suppliers), as they appear on the originals. The source documents use DD/MM/YYYY: day, then month, then year.
| Row | Invoice | Date | Supplier | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | INV-1042 | 03/04/2025 | Northwind Traders | $1,240.00 |
| 2 | INV-1043 | 11/04/2025 | Contoso Ltd | $3,180.00 |
| 3 | INV-1044 | 08/09/2025 | Fabrikam Inc | $1,740.00 |
| 4 | INV-1045 | 22/09/2025 | Blue Yonder | $960.00 |
| 5 | INV-1046 | 01/10/2025 | Tailspin Toys | $2,750.00 |
Row 4 is your guide to the date format: 22/09 must be 22 September, so the file uses day first. Below are the same rows as an AI typed them.
