I run a video production company and hire independent contractors to fulfill various crew roles.
Often, these independent contractors are newly graduated students who start their invoice numbering system with 100. As you can imagine, the duplicate check is rather annoying as it seems to only check the reference number. There is no reason why multiple suppliers having an invoice number of 100 should be an issue. The issue arises when the SAME supplier has multiple invoice with the same reference number.
Is there any word on this check being adjusted?
I moved your question to the public forum. There was no reason for it to be a private message.
