Symptom
The system allows to post duplicated invoices without an exception.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.
- Go to the Invoices and Credit Memos view.
- Navigate to the Advanced Filter.
- Enter the External Document ID PQR (PQR refers to the external document number).
- Notice that there is more than 1 invoice which appear for the same External Document ID.
Cause
Under the Business Configuration fine tune activity Supplier Invoice Exceptions, the value entered for the date range is 100.000.000, but the maximum successful value that can be tried on run time is 100.000.
Hence the system will not display an error message here.
Resolution
- Go to the Business Configuration work center.
- Go to the Overview view.
- Open the fine tune activity Supplier Invoice Exceptions.
- In the exception type Possible Duplicate, for the checkbox Invoice Date, the setting is 100.000.000 days difference.
- The value should be changed to less than or equal to 100.000 days.
