Check for duplicate invoices and trigger a workflow

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have a requirement to check for duplicate invoices in AP(Accounts payable) and trigger a workflow when duplicate invoices are found. I a not sure how to do any of the above. Please let me know if you have any information on:

1) Checking for duplicate invoices in AP

2) Trigger a workflow

Are there any standard workflows that checks duplicate invoices?

Thanks.

Hi MD,

I doubt if system gives an error on FI side when a duplicate invoice is posted.

I feel you would require a BAdi for it, where you can call your WF using FM SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW.

Hope it helps.

P.S also ask your Func Consultants, if there are any settings in the Customization, where you could capture Inv Dt, Inv Amt, Vendor, Company code.
