Avoid Duplicate Invoice Entry

[former_member221220]

Hi,

We are maintaining the Vendor Invoice No. in the Reference Column.

Our Client requirement is, the system should throw an error message when the same Vendor Invoice number is entered in the Reference column.

How can i control this.

Regards,

Sravan.

Hi venkata,

You may refer to SAP note 305201 on Duplicate Invoice check.

The standard SAP issues a warning message but if you want it to be an error, then you can try by chnaging the message control "F5-117" to Error from Warning.

Hi Venkata,

As per the SAP standard if  vendor master is flaaged with douplicate invoice check then system will through an error if you enter same vendor, currency, company code, invoice document date and same reference number which you posted earlier.

Use BTE 1110 if you want to validate duplicate invoice check according to particular field.

Hi Kalim,

Thank you for you reply

System only gives the warning message which i can ignore. But my requirement is that it has to stop me going further.

Can you pls explain about BTE 1110.

Have a nice weekend.

Hi Venkata,

You need to activate Double invoice check in master data . This will solve your purpose.Tt will check  Reference document number too as one of the criteria .
