Unfortunately, one of my Accounts Payable people is disorganized enough that she occcasionally enters in the same bill twice. Is there any utility that will scan some user defined time period, looking for possible double payments of either bills or checks?
I have no problem with paying for this. Catching just one such payment is going to save $1000.
To avoid entering the same bill twice in future go to Edit >
Preferences > Purchases & Vendors > Company Preferences. In there check on 'Warn about duplicate bill numbers from same vendor'. If in future a bill having same number and received from vendor is entered twice then QuickBooks will warn you about it. As to check the bills which are already entered go to Reports > Unpaid Bills detail > an in the 'Sort By' field select 'Num'. Since the bills will be sorted by bill numbers any bill entered twice will appear side by side any will be easier to notice.
