Duplicate Entries

This review identifies possible duplicate transactions using smart matching logic and lets you delete, review, or resolve them directly.

Overview

The Duplicate Entries review helps you identify Entries that may have been recorded more than once. Xenett uses multiple matching parameters—not just amount or date—to flag potential duplicates, helping you prevent overstated expenses or incorrect balances.


Enable the Review Point

If the review point is not already added:

  1. Click New

  2. Click Task/Review Point and select Duplicate Entries from the library

  3. Click Add

If the review point is already added, simply click on it to open the review.


How to Interpret the Review Results

When you open this review:

  • You’ll see Entries that Xenett has identified as potential duplicates

  • Duplicates are detected using a combination of parameters, such as:

    • Same vendor

    • Same or similar amount

    • Close transaction dates (not necessarily the same date)

    • Cleared vs uncleared status for bank or credit card Entries

If multiple parameters match, Xenett flags the Entries as possible duplicates for review.


Recommended Actions

Based on the review results, you can:

  • Delete Entries that are confirmed duplicates

  • Review attached documents before taking action

  • Mark as Reviewed if the Entries are valid and not duplicates

  • Resolve cases where an expense was recorded instead of a bill payment


How the Review Works

Step 1: Open the Review Point

Click on the Duplicate Entries review point to view all potential duplicate Entries.


Step 2: Review Duplicate Details

  • Review vendor name, amount, date proximity, and cleared status

  • Right-click or use Edit Transaction to:

    • View attached documents

    • Open the transaction in edit mode

This helps confirm whether the Entries are truly duplicates.


Step 3: Take Action

Depending on your review:

  • Click Delete to remove the duplicate transaction

  • Click Mark as Reviewed if the Entries are valid and should remain

Once marked as reviewed, the transaction no longer appears in the review.


Step 4: Handle Bill vs Expense Duplicates

Xenett can also detect duplicates across different transaction types, such as:

  • A bill and an expense recorded for the same vendor and amount

In these cases:

  • Open the transaction using the three-dot menu

  • Click View in Accounting Software

  • Apply the expense to the bill directly in your accounting system
