Purchases: Warning for duplicate Purchase Order No.

[Chantal76]

HI There

I am finding that the warning for Duplicate suppler invoices is not showing until I press record on the transaction. Then Ihave to go back into the purchase register, find the duplicate invoice and delete it. I have "Warn for duplicate purchase orders and supplier invoices" selected in my preferences. 

Can you please let me know how to make sure this warning is shown prior to recording the transaction?

Thanks

Chantal

I discovered this today too. My setting is also correct. The warning briefly appears as an exclamation mark but the transaction continues to record with no chance to cancel it. I have voted for this. Seems rather urgent to me.

@Chantal76, we can't be the only ones with this issues - have you found a workaround or a fix?

[Chantal76]

Hi @HeatherDBS

The only workaround I have is to run a list of all supplier invoices for the month and sort by supplier number. That way i dump into excel and can find duplicates to delete. Not ideal, but the only way i have worked out yet.

Thanks for the reply.

Coincidentally, We just upgraded to the 2016.1 version and this has been fixed. Big yellow pop up on screen. I should have checked before adding another comment earlier.

@HeatherDBS ahh... that's on my agenda for tomorrow. Thanks for the info!

Hi Everyone

AccountRight 2016 will now promptly warn the user that a duplicate Purchase Order/Supplier Order Number has been entered. A warning will be displayed to the left of the field to indicate to the user that it has been used.
