dab:FF Duplicate Payments

Double payments are vendor invoices which get paid twice (or even more often). Actually, the term "double payment" is potentially misleading as every payment is based on a specific invoice. This means that the invoice has been received or booked into the system multiple times and cleared as many times. The vendor´s demand has thus been over-met.

Potential reasons for double payments are manyfold:

• Inadvertent duplicate booking of the same incoming invoice
• Booking of a vendor´s dunning letter with a copy of the original invoice attached
• A manual payment coincides with an automatic payment run
• Not yet cleared, open payments
• Purposeful presentation of duplicate invoice (fraudulent activity)

Why you should check for invoices paid multiple times!

There are some verification routines in SAP^©, but these are rather inflexible. Minimal differences are sufficient for an invoice booked twice to not be recognized as such anymore. Many users are not aware of this.
