    Hi AFOS1 

     

    Welcome to the Community Forum!

     

    Can you try switching the preference to "Warn for duplicate purchase orders and Supplier invoices on recorded purchases" and let me know if the same issue exists? Also, is it happening for certain purchases, for example, the ones created from intray or all the purchases in the system?

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply. Yes this fixed the issue. So in reality, the 'warn for duplicate supplier invoice numbers on recorded purchases' does not do anything!? 

    Thanks,

    Chanelle.

      Hi AFOS1 


      At times, it does not appear to work as intended and we have raised it with the appropriate teams.  In the meanwhile, selecting the above option should warn about the duplicates.

        Hi,

         

        Following on from my previous enquiry above that I thought was resolved as it did fix the issue last time, I thought it was important for me to flag that today MYOB has again failed to warn of a duplicate supplier invoice number even though this box (warn for duplicate purchase order AND supplier invoice numbers on recorded purchases) is still ticked.

         

        This is definately a concerning flaw of MYOB as it poses the potentail to over pay suppliers.
