Duplicate invoice payments are slipping through due to slight variations in invoice numbers or submission channels, and teams lack a systematic process to catch them before payment.

Workarounds Described

• Relies on whoever happens to notice a duplicate that day
• Vendor flags the duplicate weeks later
• Manual process is the only method mentioned

Implied Software Gaps

• Automated duplicate invoice detection with fuzzy matching across channels
• Centralized invoice ingestion to compare all submissions regardless of source
• Proactive alerting before payment instead of reactive vendor notification
