DUPLICATE INVOICE DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT

Last updated:

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for detecting and managing duplicate invoices is provided. The method includes accessing, in a digital storage device, invoices associated with a buyer computer. Candidate invoices having similar attributes are identified from the invoices and nodes representing the candidate invoices are created and stored in computer memory. At least two of the candidate invoices are determined likely to be duplicate invoices and an edge is generated between nodes representing the at least two candidate invoices, indicating that the at least two candidate invoices are likely to be duplicate invoices. A set of filters is programmatically applied using the at least two candidate invoices as inputs. The at least two candidate invoices are determined to be duplicate invoices based on an output of the set of filters and a notification is sent to the buyer computer indicating that the at least two candidate invoices are duplicate invoices.
