I have a feeling there is already a thread on this but I've searched and not found it.
We recently upgraded a client from 2013 to 2017. they have always imported transactions into A/P invoice data entry. Since the upgrade the users have accidentally imported invoices a second time (after the first run was updated) and Sage posted the second run as an adjustment. Essentially the A/P invoices were now doubled. They tell me in the prior version, that if they ran the import for the same invoices, those records would fail during the VI import and that would be their alert that they were importing the same file again. I can write perform logic to rename their file after the import and that should alleviate their issue, but is there something that can be done to trigger the records to fail during import if someone would re-import an existing A/P invoice?
The only thing I've found on Sage's website does not seem very helpful. (below)
**Duplicate Accounts Payable invoice numbers are allowed during by Visual Integrator importing

Resolution
Manual entry does generate a duplicate invoice warning ""Invoice number already on file"".
Visual Integrator does not contain perform logic to check for duplicate invoice numbers in history.
This would require custom Perform logic to be created by a 3rd party Master Developer.
