To restrict double capturing of same invoice in transaction FB01.

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We want to restrict double capturing of invoice in transaction FB01. This invoice number is entered in reference. We have used the message F5 / 117 in transaction OBA5. The message type is set to E. But still it is not throwing the error message in FB01 if the same invoice is entered again.

Pl. suggest a suitable solution.

Hello

Please note that the following fields must be identical for error msg

F5117 to occur:

Company code (BUKRS)

Vendor number (LIFNR)

Currency (WAERS)

Reference number (XBLNR)

Amount in document currency (WRBTR)

Document date (BLDAT)

Duplicate Invoice Check in FI is explained in the documentation of

field LFB1-REPRF, and executed via FM 'FI_DUPLICATE_INVOICE_CHECK'.

Here you have the opportunity to accept SAP standard as described

above, or to use BTE (process) 1110 where you can change the conditions

for Duplicate Invoice Check according to your own requirements .

Hi Ray,

I´d like to use BTE (process) 1110 here. How does that work?

best regards

Alternatively, you can define a validation rule with a small User Exit which will check the presence of Ref. No. entered in the transaction with Ref. No. field in BKPF table and populate an error message if it matches.
