Duplicate payment finder

Paste your supplier payments and see which ones may have been paid twice. The check runs in this page, so your figures never leave your computer.

Copy the rows from your accounts system or spreadsheet, with the heading row. It needs four things for each payment, the supplier, the invoice number, the date and the amount.
Nothing leaves your computer. The check runs in this page. The rows are not sent anywhere and are gone when you close the tab.
Small standing charges repeat by design.

What it looks for

Four patterns, in order of how sure they are. The same invoice number paid more than once to the same supplier. The same invoice with its number written differently, such as INV-00412 and INV412. The same invoice number and amount under two supplier names. And the same amount to the same supplier twice within a few days.

The first two are marked as strong. The last two are marked as worth a look, because staged payments and regular charges can look the same.

What it does not do

It does not see credit notes, price lists, delivery notes or discounts, so it cannot find an invoice paid above the agreed price or a quantity that was never received. Those need the documents side by side, which is a bigger job.

A match is a question to ask the supplier, not proof of a mistake. Check each one against the invoice before you ask for money back.

Your figures stay with you

The rows you paste are read by this page inside your browser. They are not uploaded, stored or sent to me. The page records only that the tool was used, with no figures and no names. Close the tab and the rows are gone.

If you want the whole year checked

I can run the full check for you, including credit notes, price lists and quantities, and write the claims to suppliers. I am paid a share of what comes back, agreed in writing before I start. Use the contact link below and say roughly how many supplier invoices you pay in a month.

Common questions

How do I find duplicate payments to suppliers?

Export a list of payments with the supplier, invoice number, date and amount. Look for the same invoice number twice, the same number written differently, and the same amount to the same supplier within a few days. This tool does that in your browser in a few seconds.

Is it safe to paste payment data into this tool?

The check runs inside your browser. The rows are not uploaded, stored or sent anywhere, and they are gone when you close the tab. You can also turn off your internet connection after the page has loaded and it will still work.

What file do I need?

Any list with a heading row and four columns for supplier, invoice number, date and amount. Copy the rows from a spreadsheet and paste them in, or choose a file saved as CSV. Extra columns are fine.

Does a match mean we paid twice?

No. It means the two payments look alike and are worth checking. Staged payments, deposits and regular charges can look the same. Compare each pair with the invoices before you contact the supplier.

Why are small payments ignored?

Small regular charges repeat by design and would bury the real findings. The tool ignores payments under 50 by default. Change the figure if you want everything included.
