    Hi Emily_B

    Thank you for the reply and the link.

    We had an issue where a supplier invoice was paid twice. The first entry of the invoice was posted with the invoice number and the second entry of the same invoice was posted without the invoice number and the system allowed the entry to procceed. Hence, paid twice and only noticed when AP reconcilliation was done.

    My query was about making the invoice field mandatory so it will force the entry to stop with a message to prompt the user to enter the invoice number.

    At the moment, it flags the duplicate invoice number entry , but still allows the user to continue if the invoice number field is left blank for the same supplier.

    Thanks for any help.
