The same vendor and amount can appear twice without proving there are two bills to pay. They can also describe two legitimate obligations.
Our property-management lesson shows how to investigate the difference before approving a payment batch.
Follow a fictional review through invoice references, work orders, property allocations, settlement evidence, applied credits and approval holds. Learn why duplicate records are different from duplicate cash payments, and why an unknown payment outcome needs reconciliation before a retry.
The goal is a traceable review packet, not an automatic decision based on a matching amount.
All records and amounts are hypothetical. A proposed release is not a payment authorization or a savings claim.
