Early duplication notification

On a regular basis I receive duplicates of invoices from our workshop. It is not, however, until I finish entering the whole invoice, that I get a notification that it's duplicate. Is there a way to change it so that notification comes through once the invoice number is entered?

    If you and your workshop staff are logged in to the same data file at the same time, then when the first person starts to create a new invoice, are you saying that the second person also gets the same invoice number on their screen?

    Recommendation:

    Open the new invoice screen.

    Enter the invoice number to what you need and save the invoice BEFORE you enter the rest of the item lines in any great detail.

    If you are warned that the invoice number already exists, you can change it at this point and put the next correct number sequence.

    Sorry, I have worded that incorrectly. I work from home and enter supplier invoices (bills) at the end of each working day. I often receive multiples of a supplier invoice from the boys in the workshop and it would be handy if the system could throw up a notification that the number had already been entered as soon as it was typed in, instead of when the invoice is finished.

    Hi @Jodie Vermeer

    The same applies for Enter Bill - Click on Save after you enter the number, so it can check at that point ๐Ÿ˜Š
