Introducing Accounts Payable Duplicates: Smarter Detection for Finance teams, for free.
The Invisible Problem Costing Finance Teams Thousands
Duplicate invoices might sound like a fringe error, but in reality, they happen more often than most finance teams realise — especially in multi-entity environments. When teams manage multiple entities across Xero and QBO, siloed processes, and overlapping responsibilities, it’s all too easy for the same invoice to be entered twice, paid twice, or recognised in two places.
While tools like Xero help flag simple duplicate invoice numbers within a single entity, they’re not designed to detect the more complex scenarios that arise across entities — and that’s where the real risk lies.
The best part? It’s free to use.
Why Duplicate Invoices Hurt More Than You Think
It’s not just a data issue. Duplicate invoices erode your business’s financial health and operational trust:
- Suppliers get overpaid
- Expenses are inflated
- Your team spends hours chasing down errors
- Audit confidence takes a hit
These issues aren’t about carelessness — they’re the natural consequence of systems that don’t talk to each other and teams without shared visibility.
A New Way Forward with Translucent
We’ve just launched our Accounts Payable Duplicates (aka. AP Duplicates) feature — purpose-built for finance teams managing multiple entities, where visibility is limited and mistakes are costly.
With Translucent, you get:
- Group-wide detection — Identify duplicates across all your Xero & QBO orgs
- Smart filtering logic — Match based on real-world parameters.
- Full transaction context — View invoice details, attachments and payment status in one place
No more stitching together spreadsheets. No more second-guessing.
How It Works
We scan through all your invoices, across all your entities. Our AP Dupe algorithm automatically detects duplicates using intelligent, real-world parameters:
- Supplier: Exact matching
- Invoice Date: Match exactly
- Invoice number: Match exactly
- Amount: Exact match
With AP Duplicates, we let you detect duplicates in all your entities and between entities. You can view the potential issues across your group and have all the supporting documentation to make a confident decision — no switching between Xero’s required.
It’s completely free to try — so why not save yourself hours and your business thousands?
