It's an incredible functionality:
1. it finds a duplicate with bill paid a year ago
2. it does not offer to disable this warning for some entities.

Please either allow to disable in full or make it smarter!

This is a frustration I have as we have quite a few reoccurring bills that are always flagged as duplicates, the system should be able to determine if a bill is truly a duplicate of simply reoccurring or have a feature where reoccurring bills can have an additional reference field to distinguish duplicates from reoccurring bills

Currently repeating bills use the same reference number and flag as duplicates, it would be very helpful for repeating bills that require the same reference number e.g payment plans, vehicle finance, insurances ect. had a distinction when repeated to avoid having duplicates.
This could be as simple as being able to have a custom placeholder for the reference field.

All of the duplicate bills highlighted have been recurring invoices. Adding the ability to turn this off for those suppliers could make it a more useful function as it may actually highlight an issue at some point in the future.

The Leave Feedback button doesn't link to anything on the "Thankyou" page.

Yeah this feature has never once picked up an actual duplicate. It just displays recurring subscription invoices.

Very annoying. Would love to be able to disable it.

yes please let us turn this off - this is the worst example of a new feature added to Xero in my 12 years.
There are so many apps that send thru a daily or regular bill to Xero as part of the sync - Lightspeed, REX just to name two.
If this feature was to be useful we need to be able to ignore those suppliers

We noticed you have a set of duplicate bills. Would you like to review it?Review.
No thankyou, and certainly not every time I look at bills screen.

Totally agree. Having my repeating monthly invoices voided because they are flagged as a "duplicate" is incredibly annoying.

Please allow us to disable the duplicate bills function. This is beginning to take me more and more time every day. I have lots of invoices/receipts for the same amount -i.e. parking, regular weekly supplier invoices (who don't always include invoice numbers).
I honestly can't see what this function helps anyone with - we already have the duplicate function if all the invoice details are the same when entering - so this seems like overkill.

Please either get rid of it completely - or at least let us select all to ignore.

I would just ignore them completely but was advised by a xero support person that i should clear them out to ensure that they don't affect xero performance.

Can I turn this feature off. I have a client whose bills are broken down over several bikes, and therefore I can have one Invoice with several lines fed in from another software called MTA. I understand this is a great feature, but in this case I need the warning turned off. Is it possible to switch off?

Agree with David - the feature to review is excellent. However once you have reviews and in my case often void the duplicate the only option is keep all which is the exact opposite to the feature itself???
Then each time you go in the same ones you have already checked and actioned are asking for attention again?

Please, please let me turn this off, all it is doing is for us is causing a distraction and wasting time.

Please give us the option to turn this off, there was already a "check" in place if when entering the bill.

Xero - you are ruining your software by add things people do not want or need.

Agree. And even if it flags a genuine duplicate, there is no option to do anything about it, only a "Keep all" option which basically means this feature is useless! Please tell me I am misunderstanding.

The duplicate bill review is very annoying. For instance, we have a supplier that sends us in a bill for £18.00 each month, without an invoice number, so every month it is flagged up as a duplicate bill for review, even though it's clearly not a duplicate as it has a different date. Please make it so that the date is also considered when identifying duplicates. It even lists all the bills that I have already reviewed and passed as okay! It's an annoying waste of time.

It would be useful if it excluded duplicates where one of the two is ALREADY voided or deleted. I have already fixed the problem, so don't need the system to warn me about it.

Also, please fix it so the "Place Feedback" button actually works so I can place feedback.

Agree - I keep getting duplicate bill alerts when it's in the system as a repeating bill! Of course there's more than one, aaaargh!! Then when I click the feedback button to complain that doesn't even work, not a good look

I agree with everyone (for what it's worth).

Dumbest feature ever when it alerts me to a duplicate bill with a different submit date and different pay date but the same value.

Xero's suggestion to make a "repeating bill template" isn't helpful either as these bills might not have the same date each month.

Simply make it ignore duplicates if the dates are different.

Agreed! In its current state it's basically useless to me.
I keep being prompted that recurring bills that we pay each month may be duplicates. Yet a genuine duplicate bill dated the same date, same amount, just that one bill had leading zeros whilst the other only had the actual numbers, went through without detection.
The fact you can't click to view the bills the way you can in the Bills to Pay screen is infuriating.

Enjoying this new feature, but wish that I could click on the bill itself to view it and review details, makes it easier to confirm that it is a duplicate bill - not just the attachment (if there is one).
