Warning for customer PO number duplication when generating an invoice

Hi there. I know there is a section for warning users if there has been a purchase order number duplication, and also invoice number duplication. I guess this is because they are "Reckon Generated Numbers". As there are several people in our organisation who generate invoices from one email account, is there a function to provide a warning when a customer's PO Number has already been used (PO No box on invoices), to prevent duplication of invoices for the same customer purchase order? This is a manual input number so it might not be possible, but gosh, it would save a LOT of trouble for those occasional double-up invoices. 
Thanks

    Would also find this feature invaluable.

    Hi Kylie

     

    Do you use the Sales Order feature?  (This is the customer’s PO)

    As the numbers can be overwritten, I use the customer’s PO number as their applicable SO number which serves a few purposes:

     

    • The various customer PO formats makes it easier to identify the customer from the number alone

    • You can invoice directly from it (either one invoice or multiple/progress invoicing) which allows the program to automatically track for you how much has been invoiced/how much remains

    • You can run reports on the above also
