How to avoid duplicate records

Avoid entering the same sale, expense, payment or transfer twice.

Duplicate records can make your sales, expenses, profit and balances wrong.

How duplicates happen

  • A sale is entered twice by mistake.
  • An expense is entered again from a receipt.
  • An invoice payment is also entered as a normal sale.
  • A bill payment is also entered as a normal expense.
  • A transfer is entered twice.

How to avoid them

  • Search before entering older records.
  • Check recent activity.
  • Use notes for corrections.
  • Record invoice payments from invoices.
  • Record bill payments from bills.
