@kingrat @scott the confusion truly is real.

I used to use auto-numbering IDs, and then I used UUIDs. But now, I require that all IDs *mean something*.

So, and invoice number may be
[ClientCode]-[Year]-[Month]-[InvoiceNumber]

If I see:

SF-2023-09-004 Then I know it's the forth invoice I sent to Sales Force from September of 2023

Even little things:

OrderStatus used to be all numeric. Now, all codes in the tables.

I can open up almost any table in the database and visually tell you a LOT more about the record than I could before.
