Duplicate Invoice Number by Vendor not by Session
I would like for the system to alert me to a duplicate invoice number for a specific vendor only. It should not matter if there are duplicate invoice numbers within the same session if they are for different vendors. The current setup allows for appending of invoices to a completely different vendor if you are not careful.
For example, if I am entering a batch of invoices for a group of people that all went to the same conference and wanted to use an invoice number of "PerDiem12-2019" for example, it should allow that for everyone as long it is not for the same vendor. Currently I have to differentiate them all with an alphabet or initials ~ PerDiem12-2019A, PerDiem12-2019B, or PerDiem12-2019JR, PerDiem12-2019BC.
This also is an issue when entering credit card activity and wanting to utilize the date as part of the invoice number. If several items post on the same day you have to create the same type of setup as above. AMEX6001-120719 would need an alpha character or something

Cathy AndersenI will also need this changed for A/R. I have 30 invoices in a session that the invoice is "Transportation - Craw County", 30 invoices for "Transportation - Labette County", 26 invoices in a session for "Transportation - Mont County", and 17 invoices in the same session for "Transportation - Cher County". NEED duplicate invoices by vendor only.

Jane ChaneyI would also love this. We have many vendors who seem to use a similar system to create their invoices and at times we have two different vendors that submit an invoice. We have to always remember to pull two separate imports for any invoice numbers that are the same even though they truly are not duplicates as the vendor is different.
