How does the check duplicate invoice work?

Question:

How does the check duplicate invoice work?

Resolution:

The logic for a flagging a new invoice as a duplicate is when the transaction has the same Corp#, Vendor#, Invoice # and invoice date. This is set up in the General Profile Maintenance with a Y or N.

If AP General Profile #45-VPUCHER ENTRY: CHECK DUPLICATE INV# WITH DIFFERENT DATE is set to 'Y' the system looks for the identical Corp#, Vendor# and Inv# REGARDLESS of the invoice date.
