Validation for duplicate AP invoice

We would like to prevent duplicate AP invoices from being posted through FB60.   We created an FI validation in OB28 in which the prerequisite = Tcode FB60, and the check is a user exit to check the values in vendor / company code / reference fields and if those 3 fields have the same values as in an existing document, to generate an error message preventing the duplicate document from being posted.
The above works well for creating new invoices.   However, when we have to make changes to an existing invoice (created through FB60), the system also calls on that validation and generates the error message, even though the only fields we can change on the invoice is payment terms, payment method, payment method supplement and text.
Other than modifying the user exit, does anybody know of a better way to do this validation or to prevent duplicate manual invoice from being created?
thank you.

This has already been answered before so extracted part of the reply
there are two duplicate checks in SAP:
1. the one for FI documents, this is relevant for all F... postings (but nor for MIRO!)
this can be turned off or on (in vendor master record) and 6 fields are checked:
Check Flag for Double Invoices or Credit Memos
Indicator which means that incoming invoices and credit memos are checked for double entries at the time of entry.
Use
Checking Logistics documents
Firstly, the system checks whether the invoice documents have already been entered in the Logistics invoice verification; the system checks invoices that are incorrect, or invoices that were entered for invoice verification in the background.
Checking FI documents
The system then checks whether there are FI or Accounting documents that were created with the original invoice verification or the Logistics verification, and where the relevant criteria are the same.
Checking Logistics documents
In checking for duplicate invoices, the system compares the following characteristics by default:
Vendor
Currency
Company code
Gross amount of the invoice
Reference document number
Invoice document date
If all of these characteristics are the same, the system issues a message that you can customize.
When you enter credit memos or subsequent adjustments, the system does not check for duplicate invoices.
Exception: Country-specific solution for Argentina, where invoices and credit memos are checked for duplicate documents.
No message is issued if you enter a document that has previously been reversed.
Dependencies
The system only checks for duplicate invoices in Materials Management if you enter the reference document number upon entering the invoice.
In Customizing for the Logistics invoice verification, you can specify that the following characteristics should not be checked:
Reference document number
Invoice document date
Company code
This means that you can increase the likelihood that the system will find a duplicate invoice, because you can reduce the number of characteristics checked.
Example
The following document has already been entered and posted:
Reference document number: 333
Invoice date: 04/28/00
Gross invoice amount: 100.00
Currency: EUR
Vendor: Spencer
Company code: Munich
You have made the following settings in Customizing:
The field "Reference document number" and "Company code" are deselected, which means that these characteristics will not be checked.
Now you enter the following document:
Reference document number: 334
Invoice date: 04/28/00
Gross invoice amount: 100.00
Currency: EUR
Vendor: Spencer
Company code: Berlin
Result
Because you entered a reference document when you entered the invoice, the system checks for duplicate invoices.
The reference document number and the company code are different from the invoice entered earlier, but these characteristics are not checked due to the settings you have made in Customizing.
All other characteristics are the same. As a result, the system issues a message that a duplicate entry has been made.
If the "Reference document number" had been selected in Customizing, the system would have checked the document and discovered that it was different from the invoice entered earlier, so it would not have issued a message.
Checking FI documents
Depending on the entry in the field "Reference", one of the following checks is carried out:
1. If a reference number was specified in the sequential invoice/credit memo, the system checks whether an invoice/credit memo has been posted where all the following attributes agree:
Company code
Vendor
Currency
Document date
Reference number
2. If no reference number was specified in the sequential invoice/credit memo, the system checks whether an invoice/credit memo has been posted where all the following attributes agree:
Company code
Vendor
Currency
Document date
Amount in document currency
2. the one for LIV.
this can be customized (as stated above) and is relevant for MIRO (and not for F... postings!).
Company, Reference and Invoice date
Set Check for Duplicate Invoices
In this step, you can configure for each company code if the system is to check for duplicate invoices when you enter invoices.
This check should prevent incoming invoices being accidentally entered and paid more than once.
You can choose whether to activate or deactivate the check criteria of company code, reference document number and invoice date for each company code. The more criteria that you activate, the lower the probability of the system finding a duplicate invoice. The Accounting documents are checked first, followed by documents from Logistics Invoice Verification (only incorrect invoices or those entered for verification in the background).
When checking duplicate invoices, the system compares the following
attributes in the standard system:
Vendor
Currency Company code
Gross invoice amount Reference document number
1. Invoice date If the system finds an invoice that matches all attributes, the system
displays a customizable message.
If you are entering credit memos, subsequent debits, or subsequent
credits, the system does not check for duplicate invoices.
The exception is the Argentina country version, where the system checks
for duplicate invoices and credit memos.
If a previously processed document is later cancelled and then entered
again, no message is displayed.
Requirements
The system only checks for duplicate invoices in Materials Management
if you specify a reference document number when entering the invoice.
In Customizing (IMG) for Invoice Verification, you can specify that the
system check the following attributes

PSE10 Crashes when searching for duplicate photos

Hello,
I recently upgraded to PSE10 and imported my catalog from a different machine (which had been running XP). Unfortunately, I ended up with a bunch of duplicate entries in the catalog, one with the path c:\users\... the other with c:\my documents\... These paths both point to the same image on the hard drive.
When I try to Search for Duplicate Photos (from Find>By Visual Searches), PSE invariably crashes. I am running PSE10 under Windows 7 (full system info at the end of this message).
Any idea why this might be happening, and is there a different way I can remove the duplicate entries in the catalog?
Thanks,
Chris

If I understand well, what you are calling 'duplicates' are duplicate entries in the catalog, the same media being called either by its original path+filename or shortcut path+filename.
The organizer will try open two different files to compare them, but when trying to open the second 'shortcut', the file will be already blocked (in use). That could explain the failure of the comparison for similarity.
Try creating a new catalog with similar images, for instance jpegs and png copies. Does the visual search work ?
About backup and restore : If my supposition is right, that should work if you try to restore to a new custom location with keeping the file structure : the backup should create real file duplicates on different paths. If it works, finding visual duplicate should work, although this process may take a very long time.

How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto libraries?

How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 library. Installed on iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Mavericks 10.9.5.

These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

Comparing layers for equality

Is it possible to compare two different layers to see if they are in fact the same image?
I'm actually working on a game at the moment. The game map was created by using game sprites created by other people. For example, I found 5 different pictures of trees, and copy pasted them into photoshop multiple times to create a forest. I have 100 trees in my photoshop document, but in reality, they are all made up of only 5 images. I want to save out each of these trees into a format usable by my game engine. I want to save each layer as an image, but avoid saving duplicates. Thus the need to compare layers for equality.
Is it possible to do this within a photoshop script? Thanks for any help you can provide.

but wouldn't this only work in the instance of them being on top of each other?
That bit of code presumes:
The layers are in the same document
The layers are the only two layers visible
The content of the layers is aligned.
The layers have simple content (no layer masks, vector masks, layer styles)
There may be other assumptions that I'm making, but this is all that I can think of.
For the trees/forest problem, I would iterate though the tree-layers.
Create a new document that is as large as the largest tree-layer in the forest.
Hide the background layer.
Copy the first layer to the new document.
Copy the second layer to the new doc
Do the layer comparison code from above my previous post
If the layers are the same, delete the new one.
Go to the next layer in the forest document.
Copy and compare the new layer against each layer in the new document.
Delete it if it's a dupe.
When you're done, the new document should have only the unique trees.

Help required on OutBound IDoc for FI Invoices

Hi All,
I had a requirement to create a custom idoc for FI invoices via a user exit and these idocs will be routed (via RFC) to a JAVA server/processor. Pls suggest how can i acheive this.
Is there any user exit for acheiveing this or can we proceed further without user exit also.
If so how to acheive this.
Thanks & Regards,
Anil.

One option that immediately pops up is
Using Output Types: like for example transaction V/40
Application: V3 Billing
You can define a unique output type : ZINV
Transmission Medium : 6
Processing Routine
Program: RSNASTED
Form Routine: EDI_PROCESSING
You can then use WE20, and define a unique customer / and map message control (ZINV) information in outbound parameters.

Outbound IDOC for Credit Management

HI All,
We need to send the Credit management data from SAP to other system. For that we require Standard IDOC, could you please suggest the standard IDOC available for the same and how to configure it. Please let me know if we have any standard program which generates the IDOC for my requirement.
Regards,
Phanindra

Thanks for the Input, could you please let me know how we trigger this IDOC. Is it through configuration or any standard program which will generate idocs.

Is it possible to generate outbound idocs for FI invoices? How?

Is it possible to generate Outbound idocs for FI invoices? How? or else i have to write program to get data in file and pass it to translator. Please help.

Dear Gabriel
Before letting you know the possibility, can you please let me know why you want such a requirement, since standard has not provided such copy control, to my knowledge.
As you would know order type KB is for consignment fillup where you are just transferring the goods from FG unrestricted to your own warehouse and that is why in standard you can see the copy control KB --> F8 which means you can raise proforma against delivery and not against fillup order.
So think of whether really you wanted to raise proforma against fillup order which is NOT recommended by SAP. However, still if you feel that the requirement is so to have, you can make the settings in VTFA.
thanks

How to look for duplicate process instances?

In Oracle BPM 11g, is there a good way to look for duplicate process instances based on process data attributes? For example, I have entered an instance of a process for 'John Smith' with a date of '4/1/2010' and I want to see if there is another instance in the same process with these same data values to evaluate as a potential duplicate. I believe we can write a java service to invoke the API to do this, but I am wondering if there is a better way within the process design to do this (XPath extension functions or soemthing?). It seems like this would be a common need.

I am really looking for an approach to looking for duplicate instances within my process flow, not from EM. So, if the user starts a new instance of a process, I can check for another instance that appears to be a duplicate and direct the flow to a human activity to review the potential duplicate and make a decision as to whether to continue processing the new instance or reject it. My guess is that we need to us a service task to invoke java code which uses the API to investigate other instances with the same values. But, I was hoping for a simpler solution....I have to think that this is not too uncommon.

Function Module to Generate Outbound IDOC for Sales Documents

Hello Experts,
Can someone please help me, I need to know which function module to use in order to generate the outbound IDOC for sales documents. Some of the fm's I have come across are the following:

Check for duplicate record in SQL database before doing INSERT

Hey guys,
This is part powershell app doing a SQL insert. BUt my question really relates to the SQL insert. I need to do a check of the database PRIOR to doing the insert to check for duplicate records and if it exists then that record needs
to be overwritten. I'm not sure how to accomplish this task. My back end is a SQL 2000 Server. I'm piping the data into my insert statement from a powershell FileSystemWatcher app. In my scenario here if the file dumped into a directory starts with I it gets
written to a SQL database otherwise it gets written to an Access Table. I know silly, but thats the environment im in. haha.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Hi
Since SQL Server 2000 has been out of support, I recommend you to upgrade the SQL Server 2000 to a higher version, such as SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008.
According to your description, you can try the following methods to check duplicate record in SQL Server.
1. You can use
RAISERROR to check the duplicate record, if exists then RAISERROR unless insert accordingly, code block is given below:
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM TableName AS t
WHERE t.Column1 = @ Column1
AND t.Column2 = @ Column2)
BEGIN
RAISERROR(‘Duplicate records’,18,1)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TableName (Column1, Column2, Column3)
SELECT @ Column1, @ Column2, @ Column3
END
2. Also you can create UNIQUE INDEX or UNIQUE CONSTRAINT on the column of a table, when you try to INSERT a value that conflicts with the INDEX/CONSTRAINT, an exception will be thrown.
Add the unique index:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX Unique_Index_name ON TableName(ColumnName)
Add the unique constraint:
ALTER TABLE TableName
ADD CONSTRAINT Unique_Contraint_Name
UNIQUE (ColumnName)
Thanks

Manual creation of idoc for a Accounting document FIDCC1

Hi,
Some of the config for the change pointer was not moved to production and some accounting documents have been created which have not triggered the IDOC.
Is there a way to create the idoc for the accounting documents already created.
Regards,
Puneet.

Once you have all your change pointers setup correctly (view bd52) then you should be good to go BUT to answer your question about the existing documents .. you would need to somehow "touch" those documents to trigger the creation of the IDOCs. You can modify something on then that also is attached to the change pointer say a date? 1/11/11 change to 1/12/11 but don't save that value .. change back to 1/11/11 then save.
Just my thoughts .. let me know how it goes.

Sales/Stock data via IDOC for replenishment

How to capture customer sales and stock data through IDOC for customer replishnment.
We want to see stock update in Tcode WVM4 (w10t --> Logistics --> Retailing --> Sales -->
Replenishment --> Overview > Stock / Sales> WVM4).I am not sure the correct way to resolve this issue.
We have the flat file, which need to be uploadin our sap database table, so we can use it in customer specific replinshment.
I have followed below step to achieve this target.
Process followed:- Idoc Inbound
Step1) Created segemt WE31 based on our file data
step2) Creation of Idoc type we30
step3) Created Msg type we81
step4)Assign Message type to idoc type WE80
what other/new step is required to complete this requirement? We don't need any ALE connection, since we have flat file in out local system

Nishant,
This is NOT the way IDOCS are to be used. When you want to communicate between two SAP systems, you recieve a info from a middleware you use IDOCS.
Here if you want you can read the data and call the concerened BAPI, to create the Sales order.

IDocs for Invioce and Delivery

Hi all,
I have to send the customer the Invoice and Delivery confirmation for that order placed by him through an IDoc in background job.
We are going for a standard IDoc for invoice and Delivery also but how to fill the data into that standard IDoc.
1.Do we have standard report like (BD12, BD14, BD10 etc.)
2.Should we develop a report to fill the data into that Idoc.
Please help me to find standard report or please help me to write code for that standard IDoc.
Thank you all in advance,
Regards,
Shalem.

Hi Shalem,
You need to do the following activities.
- Setup condition record (t/code NACE) for shipping (V2) and billing (V3).
- Setup output type (t/code NACT) for shipping (V2) and billing (V3) with transmission medium A (ALE).
- Setup procedures (t/code NACZ) for shipping (V2) and billing (V3) if required.
- Once the above setup are done, for any creation of billing and shipping will create entries into table NAST (Message Status).
- Then you can create IDoc using this standard program RSNAST00. Please ensure your ALE and IDoc configuration have been done such as BD64, WE20, WE21 and etc.
Hope this will help.

How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.
The Help menu includes a link to a page where you can download the Numbers Users Manual. It also has a link to the Formulas and Functions guide. Both are useful to new users.
