Hi All, 

What does this option do?  Reject duplicate when invoice a PO + run a duplicate during the fiscal year?  What kind of duplicate is it for the fiscal year?   Thanks

    Duplicate invoice number, like it says in the name of the parameter. If you try to post a duplicate invoice number, you will get an error.

    So you might choose to reset your invoice numbering for each fiscal year.

    Thanks, Nikolaos, for your feedback.  I understand that it would reject the duplicate invoices.  So are you saying, by choosing this option, I tell the system to reset the invoice numbers for each fiscal year?  Does this mean, if I have posted an invoice #826 in year 2018.  Then next year, 2019, the system will reset; and if I enter an invoice #826, the system won't recognize that I have used this invoice number before?  Am I understand you correctly? Thanks

    You have to reset the number sequence by yourself. This parameter controls only the duplicate check functionality during invoice posting.

    It's just what some companies want. Same applies to voucher numbers, you can set up similar rule for those and start voucher numbering from 1 (or actually 000001 or something like that) every year.

    You don't understand how to set it up? Or you don't understand why someone would want to use this feature?

    For the first question I hope I gave enough information. The second question I can't answer, I'm more of a technical expert than a financial one. But this feature exists in most financial applications. If you don't see any value in this feature, you don't have to use it.
