Duplicate entries getting posted using FB01

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am facing a very strange problem which I have never heard of before.

There is a report program which picks up an input file from the application server and posts the entries. This input file will contain all the details about header record, vendor line items and G/L line items.

The report checks for duplicate entries comparing the reference number and the vendor. It discards the duplicate entries. It does not post duplicate entries.

Now, the input file contains the reference number only once. It also has multiple line items for that refernce. But has posted two identical documents having same reference, company code, etc. The only thing that is different is the document number and the time of entry. There is just a few seconds gap between the posting of the two entries.

Ideally FB01 should also not allow to post such identical entries.

Please suggest possible reasons for such postings.

Thanks & Regards,

Namrata

Can you try manually with FB01 - may be it is allowing due to config changes now?

Hi,

Manually everything is working fine. Also through this report everything works fine always except for this case which happened.

The input file had a lot of references for posting. But just one got duplicated. So, I was just wondering what could have gone wrong.

Could it be because of some database commit or due to some memory buffer refresh which did not happen by mistake.

I'm just trying to figure out some possible causes for such a thing.

Your inputs and thoughts are welcome.

Thanks & Regards,
