The article discusses the built-in duplicate report feature in Acubiz, which allows finance teams to identify similar transactions for better post-processing. To enable this feature, users need ADMIN rights and can activate it through Local Settings. The report, accessible under FINANCE, compares transactions based on criteria such as user identity, amount similarity, and submission for approval within 30 days. Generated weekly, the report may include false negatives due to similar expenses and credit card transactions. The duplicate check spans a 30-day period, and transactions can appear multiple times if they meet the criteria.
The built-in duplicate report allows FINANCE to view similar transactions, serving as a foundation for post-processing of exported or posted transactions.

Enabling Duplicate Control:
You need ADMIN rights in Acubiz to enable or disable the duplicate report. Access Your Settings as follows:
Click on LOCAL SETTINGS to access DUBLICATES and set the report active or inactive.
In the "Send report to" field, enter one or more full email addresses. Recipients will receive an email with a link to the report, but the report won't be attached. The link directs to the same report found under FINANCE => RECONCILIATION => DUPLICATE REPORT.
Use the duplicate report for control
The duplicate report is available in Acubiz under FINANCE for the specific company:
The reports are displayed next.
If duplicates exist, you can open the report to verify them.
How the Duplicate Report Works
The report lists transactions compared using these methods:
- Cash expense => Cash expense
- Credit card => Cash expense
Duplicate Check criterias
To appear on the duplicate report, transactions must meet these criteria:
- The same user must have created the transactions (outlay and credit card transactions)
- Amounts are within (+/-) 1% of each other
- Submitted for approval within the last 30 days
|
Please note that the report checks for duplicates in transactions from the current week. If a user submits similar documents during this period, the report will indicate duplicates for each document. This process is done for every transaction within the week.
|
The duplicate report may list the same transaction multiple times since the check spans a longer period. Example:
-
In week 1 Peter has a transaction of DKK 100.00 (a)
- At the end of week 1 (Saturday) the duplicatecheck executes and there are no duplicates in the report
- The check compares back in time (30 days <============== Week 1)
-
In Week 2 Peter has another transaction of DKK 100.00 (b)
- At the end of week 2 (Saturday) the duplicatecheck executes and transaction (a) will now appear in the report, as a duplicate of transaction (b).
- The check compares back in time (30 days <============== Week 2)
-
In week 3 Peter has another transaction of DKK 100.00 (c)
- At the end of week 3 (Saturday) the duplicatecheck executes and transaction (a) + (b) will now appear in the report as a duplicate of transaction (c).
- The check compares back in time (30 days <============== Week 3)
-
In week 4 Peter has another transaction of DKK 100.00 (d)
- At the end of week 4 (Saturday) the duplicatecheck executes and transaction (a) + (b) + (c) will now appear in the report, as a duplicate of transaction (d).
- The check compares back in time (30 days <============== Week 4)
-
In week 5 Peter has another transaction of DKK 100.00 (e)
- At the end of week 5 (Saturday), the duplicatecheck executes and transaction (b) + (c) + (d) will now appear in the report, as a duplicate of transaction (e).
- The control compares back in time (30 days <============== Week 5) and therefore transaction (a) is now out of the control period.
This is a simplified method for checking and reporting.
