• Key Concepts: 
  Duplicate check schema is a feature of the FI-CA-INV Convergent Invoicing component of SAP. It is used to detect and prevent duplicate invoices from being created. The schema works by comparing the data of an invoice to existing invoices in the system, and if a match is found, the invoice is flagged as a duplicate. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the duplicate check schema, you must first set up the schema in the system. This involves defining the criteria for what constitutes a duplicate invoice, such as matching customer name, address, and invoice number. Once the criteria are set up, the system will automatically compare incoming invoices to existing ones and flag any duplicates. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the duplicate check schema, it is important to make sure that all relevant criteria are included in order to ensure that all potential duplicates are detected. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update the criteria as needed in order to keep up with changes in customer data or other factors that could lead to false positives.
