Block Duplicate Business partner ref. No in sap b1

Business partners (BPs) are the backbone of any business activity. Whether a lead, customer, or vendor, BPs are essential in helping to ensure the success of a business.

The customer or vendor reference number is an important part of sales or purchasing documents (sales order, purchase order, invoice).

It is a number provided by an external source that identifies the BP. This number is key to help business operations run smoothly and accurately.

One of the most important steps for a business is validating whether the BP reference number in the sales or purchasing document is duplicated or not. This is especially important for businesses with complex structures and policies.

To block duplicate Business Partner Reference Numbers in SAP B1, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the SAP B1 Main Menu and navigate to Administration > System Initialization > Document Settings.
  2. Then select the Per Document tab.
  3. Select the document as the A/P Invoice
  4. Under the label “When Duplicated Vendor Reference No. Occurs” select the Warning Only.
  5. Then Click the “Update” button to save the changes.
