Receiving the same invoice multiple times is a common situation in Accounts Payable. Of course, you do not want to pay for the same invoice multiple times and you do not even want to waste your human resources for capturing data from the duplicate documents.

How does Rossum detect duplicates

Rossum can currently detect duplicate documents of the exact same documents. In other words, if you upload a completely identical document, Rossum would recognize those.

How to identify duplicates in Rossum

Duplicate documents in Rossum are highlighted with a yellow icon . Hovering over the icon shows all identical documents that were already uploaded. You can see the status of each of the documents which could help you in deciding whether to capture data from the document or not. 

Clicking on the duplicate document opens the document in a new tab. That way you can easily view all the identical documents next to each other.

Moreover, you can delete the duplicate documents right away by clicking on the bin icon. 

Are duplicate documents billed
