Have I used the word "naming convention" correctly in the sentence below.
Given that you have chosen the second method for filing, I suggest you to create a folder for each supplier, name each invoice with a naming convention YYYYMMD being the date of payment.

Hi, Tony,
"Naming convention" does not sound right to me in this case. I'd use "date format" as well as change the order within the absolute construction (it does not make sense as written: a convention or format cannot BE the date; it is the date that follows or adopts a certain convention or format). I'd also make a few more changes:

Thanks so much Gustavo, what about using the naming convention in the below context:
As you have multiple bank accounts and suppliers, I thought it might be best for you to create a folder for each bank account and identify each invoice using the naming convention supplier name followed by YYYYMMDD date format.

If by naming convention supplier name followed by YYYYMMDD date format you mean "supplier name-YYYYMMDD date format" naming convention, that is, the naming convention includes the supplier name followed by the YYYYMMDD date format, I guess that would be right. My proposal is a bit clearer but includes a hyphen which I don't know if you want to form part of the folder name.
