Preventing duplicate supplier reference

Forum,
On SAP B1 2007A B1 SP15 - is there a setting which would prevent/warn users from being able to duplicate the 'supplier reference' field on AP Invoice?
I know there's a setting under 'Document Settings' in 8.8 and above. I can't locate this on 2007A.
Regards,
Juan

Rahul,
Upon checking further, there are 2 companies in total. One of the companies warns users when the supplier reference is duplicated. The other does not. Neither have the option mentioned in previous threads under document settings for AP Invoices?
I have compared the SP Transaction Notification for both companies and both are standard and are identical??

Juan

How to prevent duplicate vendor reference no on SAP B1 v8.8?

Helo experts,
I have SAP B1 v.8.8 and they system is allowing me to enter the same Vendor Reference for different POs but same BP.
Is there a way to prevent duplicaton?
I read in other post that there was an option in Admin'-System Initialisation-Document settings......to block duplication, but that does not show on my screen.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you

Hello Gordon,
Thanks for the link but I had already read those posts.
I understand there is a way to prevent duplicate to enter vendor reference numbers.
However, my question would be if the version that I am using would have the option to block release when When duplicated Vendor Reference No occurs as I cannot find it.
Please advise,
Thanks

Duplicate BP Reference Numbers for same document type -need check on orders

Version: (2007A)
Description of requirements:
The user is allowed to create two sales orders for the same customer that have exactly the same BP Reference. When the user invoices one of them and then tries to invoice another, they are warned that there is already a document of the same type with this reference number. The problem is, they ship the goods out physically before they actually create the invoice document, so that by the time they are entering the invoice in the system, the goods have already been shipped twice, when they should only have been shipped once, If they were warned when they were adding or updating the order, then this could be prevented from happening. Same thing for vendors. Our customers would like to have the check for duplicate BP references on the purchase order as well as on the AP Invoices.
Business needs: Our Clientsu2019 customers are receiving duplicate shipments and this has a negative impact on their business relationship as it creates costly extra work and inconvenience for all.
Examples: Would like the same check that is currently on AR and AP Invoices for the same BP reference number existing already on the same document type implemented on the sales order and purchase order. When the user is adding an invoice for a BP and there is already an invoice for the BP with the same BP reference number, the user is warned and asked if they want to continue.
Current Workaround: None. As our customers often physically ship the goods before creating an invoice from the order, there are duplicate shipments and this is most inconvenient and costly to our customers as well as their customers.
Proposed solution: see above. This is a high priority item for our customers.

hi,
Use SP_TransactionNotification to block sales order & purchase order from adding having duplicate bp reference number.
SAP Note 1258097 - Can the Suppliers Reference number be
made unique? activated approval procedure also for ar invoice.
It may solve problem.

Easiest way to identify/delete/prevent duplicate documents

I don't suppose that the text column (e.g. CLOB) is something that I can use the usual trick to delete duplicates with, is it? I would think rather than compare the actual text column, I'd need to calculate a checksum or something for each document and then delete rows with duplicate checksums. Or is there a better way? I'm trying to prevent, for example, a news article getting inserted 10 times because it's a UPI story that was carried by 10 different sites.
Thanks.

Your idea of a checksum is a good one. But I'd compute the checksum, and make it a unique constraint, which would PREVENT duplicates from being inserted. It's usually better to prevent them than to clean them up later.

How to Prevent duplicates on Combination of Lookup columns in sharepoint 2010 using infopath 2010 form.

Hi All,
I have list with some Lookup columns like City, Pin, and Text Column Name. All these are required columns.
Now I want to prevent duplicates while submitting InfoPath form if a Combination of City,Pin & Name. (like a Composite primary in Database is used.)
Can some one help me on how to achieve this using InfoPath 2010 Rules, writing rule in Xpath.
Thanks in Advance.

1. Add a secondary data connection to the list where the form will be submitted.
2. Prior to submit via rules, set the query fields in the above connection: City, Pin & Name with values entered in the form. Query the data source and check if the result has values.
3. Show error messages accordingly if exists else continue with Submit.

Duplicate Supplier Bank Account Details

Hi Friends,
I am an Oracle Finance Functional Consultant. I got into an issue i regards to Duplicate supplier bank account details. While making payment to on of the suppliers through payment workbench in Oracle Payables, under remit-to account number field, i can see 2 account numbers xxxxx1234 and xxxxx1234 out of which, i understood that one is a duplicate account number. So, can someone please help me deleting that duplicate account.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Raju,
Thanks for your valuable time and reply. I checked the document on cash management. But, unfortunately didn't find any information required. Actually, there are 2 supplier bank accounts created through "Bank Details" option in Oracle Payables.
Example:
for Dallas (supplier site) : xxxxx1234 (A/c number)
for Chicago (supplier site): xxxxx3456 (A/c number)
so, in payment workbench, if i select the supplier site as Dallas, then i can see xxxxx1234 twice in the LOV under Remit-to account number field.
And if i select the supplier site as Chicago, then i can see xxxxx3456 twice in the LOV under Remit-to account number field.
I am not able to understand why the account number is getting doubled. Can you please help me understanding the reason behind this doubling of account numbers.
Regards,
Venkatesh

Need advice on preventing duplicate entries in People table

Hi,
In my database, I have a "People" table where I store basic information about people e.g. PersonId, FirstName, LastName, Gender, etc.
There will be lots of entries made into this table and I want to prevent duplicate entries as much as humanly possible. I'd appreciate some pointers on what I should do to minimize duplicates.
My primary concerns are:
Duplicate entries for the same person using the person's full name vs. given name e.g. Mike Smith and Michael Smith
Making sure that two separate individuals with identical names do get entered into the table and get their unique PersonId's.
Not even sure how I can even possibly know if two individuals with identical names are two different people without having additional information but I wanted to ask the question anyway.
Thanks, Sam

Thank you all very much for your responses.
There are three separate issues/points here.
It is clear that it is impossible to prevent duplicates using only a person's first, middle and last names. Once I rely on an additional piece of information, then things get "easier" though nothing is bullet proof. I felt that this was self evident but
wanted to ask the question anyway.
Second issue is "potential" duplicates where there are some variations in the name e.g. Mike vs Michael. I'd like a bit more advice on this. I assume I need to create a table to define variations of a name to catch potential duplicates.
The third point is what Celko brought up -- rather nicely too :-) I understand both his and Erland's points on this as typical relational DB designs usually create people/user tables based upon their context e.g. Employees, Customers, etc.
I fundamentally disagree with this approach -- though it is currently the norm in most commercial DB designs. The reason for that is that it actually creates duplicates and my point is to prevent them. I'm going for more of an object based approach in the DB
design where a person is a person regardless of the different roles he/she may play and I see no reason in repeating some of the information about the person e.g. repeating first, last name, gender, etc in both customer and employee tables.
I strongly believe that all the information that are directly related to a person should be kept in the People table and referenced in different business contexts as necessary.
For example, I assign every person a PersonId in the People table. I then use the PersonId as part of the primary key in the Customers or Employees table as well. Obviously, PersonId is also a foreign key in Customers and Employees tables. This prevents the
need for a separate CustomerId and allows me to centralize all the personal data in the People table.
In my opinion this has three advantages:
Prevent duplication of data
Allow global edits e.g. if the last name of a female employee changes, it is automatically updated for her within the context of "Customer" role she may play in the application.
Last but not least, data enrichment where a person may enter additional data about himself/herself in different contexts. For example, in the employee context, we may have the person's spouse information through "Emergency Contacts" which may come handy
within the context of customer for this person.
Having everyone in the People table gives me these three advantages.
Thanks, Sam

Preventing duplicates in Aperture?

I'm using the Import function (not dragging from the Finder) JPG photos and I have the box checked "do not import duplicates" - yet when I import files into the same project I'm getting duplicates and they are the exact same file name. Is there some other setting I need to have checked or this a bug - does anyone know? It is definitely creating a lot of manual work to try and get rid of the duplicates once I've completed the import. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

If you import from the same card into the same project, then it shouldn't duplicate. That said, this functionality is imperfect.
The best way to prevent duplicates is to not continually import the same files. When you import, you have the ability to choose what files you import; you should only select new files.

Frequency display window needs to be able to reference IEC and user supplied reference curves

Hi Guys,
the frequency display window displays white noise as a horisontal line.
Theoretically it is fine, but in the context of audio production it is "less
fine".
It needs to be able to reference pink noise as well as user supplied
reference curves, be it plotted or in table form, table would be fine for
me, but plotted splines would fit the intuitive gui.
That saves the incredibly wasteful step of first adding a biasing frequency
compensation to audio prior to anylyzing it so as to get a display of the
audio that is actually useful in the context of audio production and
restoration rather than acoustics.
Kind regards
Peter Larsen

popUp2 is a javascript function included in one of the .js files referenced on every Apex page.
It is defined as popUp2(URL,width_of_popup_page,height_of_popup_page). Referencing this function instead of calling window.open() should solve the problem you were having with the calling page's text being set to [object].
If you want only to have to only administer the URL that is popped up in one place you could, as you suggest, use the navbar or, alternatively, you may want to look at using a shortcut to store the URL value (Application > Shared Components > User Interface > Shortcuts).

Duplicate vendor reference no - GRPO

This is issue with client, when they try to add grpo with vendor reference no
it shows error message "duplicate vendor reference number" eventhough

How to solve this problem ?
Thanks,

Hello,
I tried to use same vendor reference no. to different vendor and it works well in SAP B1 2005A SP 01 PL 34. What version do you use ? in my SAP B1, I can't see the check box
blocked when duplicate vendor reference number. try to use this query :
select t0.cardcode, t0.numatcard from OPOR t0 inner join OPDN t1 on t1.docentry = t0.docentry
If problem still persists, you could look for sap notes and/or escalate it to SAP support

Duplicate lookup reference was found

Hello,
Using CRM 2013 Online. When importing users contacts into CRM I am getting Duplicate lookup reference was found error.
I am getting this error when there are two accounts with the same name in CRM. One owned by another user and one owned by the user whom I am trying to import the contacts for. When importing I specify who the owner of the contact is so shouldn't CRM
know to associate it with the correct account and not flag the error?

Hi,
You will need to use a different field to resolve the contact against - such as a Contact ID or account name.
See https://exploringxrm.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/resolving-duplicate-lookup-references-in-import-process/
Hope this helps,

Preventing duplicate post

Does anyone have a suggestion regarding how to prevent duplicate posts with JSF?
As an example, I have one form that allows users to carry out CRUD operations on the data that is being displayed. All successfully processed requests result in a post back to this same page.
I really want to avoid the problems that could occur if a delete or new request gets reposted by an impatient user.
Any suggestions are welcome. I should also note that for scalability reasons, I prefer to avoid solutions which require storing token, etc. in the session. I will settle for such a strategy in the absence of a better solution.

Thanks to all who responded. Just a couple follow-up questions and comments.
1. Can not use Shale. I'm in a heavily restricted corporate environment that limits me to IBM's (poor) implementation of JSF 1.0.
2. Would rather not address the problem soley through the use of JavaScript because users can always disable JavaScript.
3. Redirecting back to the page instead of forwarding back is not practical for three reasons. One, it will require my backing bean to make calls down into my application to retrieve data that would already have been readily available if I were forwarding, and I'm not comfortable with that performance decrease. Two, redirecting back to the form makes displaying of validation errors difficult. Three, redirecting to the page would successfully handle the circumstance where a user hits refresh, but doesn't handle the case of an impatient user who clicks the submit button twice while waiting for a response.
If anyone can propose a solution that works within these constraints, let me know.
Thanks again for those who are contributing.

How to prevent duplicates in your contacts

When syncing two iphones via icloud with your computer how do I prevent duplicate contacts between both phones, icloud and yahoo?

I have 11 people designated under faces.
Do you see the 11 People when using the "Faces" view from the source list in the Library Inspector or from the "Faces" button in the toolbar?
If you are using the Faces button from the toolbar, you may have been excluding faces stacks you already created. Then, when you enter search strings, Aperture will suggest names from your contacts and you may create the same stack again.
Also, if the search field is not empty, you may already have more "Faces" stacks than you are actually seeing.
As you certainly know, you can always unite "Faces" stacks by dragging a stack onto the other to merge them. The merged stack will use the name of the stack you dragged to.

How to prevent duplicate submit

I am looking for a solution to prevent duplicate submit on the click of submit button or browser refresh. In Struts its quite easy to implement using toekn feature.
Is there some feature in JSF which I can use to prevent duplicate submit?
Please share your thought.
