A duplicate invoice has been detected

What happened?

ElevateAP identified a potential duplicate invoice.

ElevateAP checks for duplicates multiple times: once when the document is initially ingested, and while an invoice is being processed. For example, if you change a header field value and the document now appears to be a duplicate, you will be alerted with an error message.

What do I do now?

Review the invoice along with the error codes below. If the invoice is a duplicate, you can delete or cancel the invoice according to your business processes. If the invoice is not a duplicate, submit it as normal.

Duplicate found by amount

Invoice Date more than {maxDaysFuture} days in the future not allowed.

What happened?

Your team configured a relative date range for processing invoices, and the invoice you are processing falls outside of that range.

What do I do now?

Consult with your team to determine how to proceed with invoices outside of the configured date range. If the Invoice Date was read incorrectly, override the value with the correct value and submit the invoice.

 

Invoice Date older than {maxDaysPast} days not allowed.

What happened?

Your team configured a relative date range for processing invoices, and the invoice you are processing falls outside of that range. For example, your company may not allow invoices to be processed that are more than 180 days old, and this invoice may be 200 days old.

What do I do now?

Consult with your team to determine how to proceed with invoices outside of the conf

What do I do now?

Verify with your supplier that their payment information is correct before submitting the invoice.
