duplicate invoices not identified if pending

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I work in AP and we have had a problem entering and approving duplicate invoices. Basically our system doesn't notify you that an purchase invoice you are making was already entered but is still pending. It does however notify us if the invoice was already entered and approved, thus putting it into the general ledger of whichever vendor the invoice is for. 

Is there any way to have dynamics notify us if the invoice is already in the system anywhere? Not just once it resides in the general ledger? It seems as though this should be a feature as it can already identify invoices in the ledger. Why not invoices that are still pending?

    Crico,

    I think the issue is that BC will not pop the warning about the duplication of the Invoice Number until the Release process is envoked or you attempt to post. I would say you have tow options:

    1. Ask your Partner to add an extension that upon Pending Approval the Invoice Number is validated then before sending an Approval

    2. Power Automate might be a solution here you can complete yourself. I am not an expert here but you might read-up on it.

    Here is a recording on Power Automate for Approvals: www.youtube.com/watch

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve
