How-to
How do you stop paying the same invoice twice?
You stop paying the same invoice twice by detecting duplicates before payment: match new invoices against ones you have already recorded by vendor, invoice number, and amount, and flag exact matches. InvoiceJet does this automatically on every invoice, so a bill that arrives twice (once by email, once on paper) is caught before it is paid.
Why duplicate payments happen
The same invoice reaches you through two channels: a vendor emails it and also mails a paper copy, or a colleague forwards one you already entered. Under time pressure, both get paid. It is one of the most common and most avoidable ways small businesses lose money.
How detection works
Exact-duplicate detection compares the identifying fields of a new invoice, the same vendor, invoice number, and amount, against what you have already recorded. A match is flagged before the invoice moves toward payment.
Because InvoiceJet extracts and verifies those fields with a confidence level on each, the comparison is reliable: it is matching verified data, not a guess.
Common questions
What counts as a duplicate?
An exact match on vendor, invoice number, and amount. That combination is specific enough to catch true duplicates without flagging two legitimate invoices from the same vendor.
