  Key Concepts: 
  Possible Duplicate is a feature in SAP Supplier Invoicing that helps to identify and prevent duplicate invoices from being processed. It works by comparing the invoice data with existing invoices in the system and flagging any potential duplicates. This helps to reduce the risk of duplicate payments and improve the accuracy of the invoicing process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Possible Duplicate feature, you must first enable it in the system settings. Once enabled, the system will automatically compare incoming invoices with existing invoices and flag any potential duplicates. The user can then review the flagged invoices and decide whether or not to process them. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to review flagged invoices carefully before processing them, as some may be legitimate duplicates while others may be false positives. Additionally, it is important to keep your invoice data up-to-date in order for the Possible Duplicate feature to work properly.
