Business value

You can easily discard incorrect or duplicate e-documents, which eliminates the need to keep unprocessed e-documents and saves space in data storage.

Feature details

Business Central won't create new incoming e-documents if you import a batch that contains duplicates. Duplicates are documents with the same vendor, external document number, and date.

If a duplicate or incorrect e-document already exists in Business Central, administrators can delete them by running the Delete Related Document action. However, you can't delete e-documents that are already processed and are connected with purchase documents.

Cannot delete already processed e-document
