    • If the Invoice Number contains a single space or multiple, consecutive spaces, substitute with an underscore character "_" as shown in the following examples:
      • Example 1 Invoice Number:  123  -  May 2020 (There is a "space" before and after the dash [ - ] and a "space" after "May".)
        • Type: "123_-_May_2020"
      • Example 2 Invoice Number:  0000567       04 (There is an indiscernible number of spaces following the number "7".)
