Automatic detection of duplicate documents

New feature that makes it easier to use Next® as an enterprise archive for ERP documents.

When you store ERP documents like Sales Invoices, Shipping Lists, and Order Confirmations in Next® you do so with a Next® Document Capture that captures all the documents created from the business system.

Some of these documents - for example the Order Confirmation - may come to Next® in multiple revisions before its final version. Until now, each of these revisions are stored in Next® as individual documents. With Detect duplicate, you can now chose to have only one document in Next® but with multiple revisions.



Chose to create new document, a revision, or reject the document. Warning is for later

If you have one or more processes where the document is involved, the process will continue with the updated document. 

For documents like Sales Invoices, you will typically not accept duplicate documents.



The business log

When a duplicate document is detected the action taken is logged in the business log.


Duplicate document detected, new revision created.


Future enhancements

In a coming release of Next®, you will be able to detect duplicate documents in the interactive archiving of documents - for example emails from Outlook, or PDFs from the desktop.
