Duplicate Claim Diagnosis
This function enables you to identify duplicate claims and helps you to avoid duplicate payments.
You have made the settings in Customizing for Claims Management
, under .
You have activated the business function Claims and Funds Management (CRM_CF_1
).
You can use the following features to identify duplicate claims:
Claim deduplication profiles
You assign claim deduplication profiles to claim and claim submission transaction types. To identify duplicate claims, the system uses these deduplication profiles.
Only claims and claim submissions with the same deduplication profiles are checked against each other.
Checking criteria
To identify duplicate claims, the system uses checking criteria, for example, Claiming Account
, External Reference Number
, and Claimed Amount
. You can
also define your own checking criteria from a predefined list of options.
Deduplication checks
You can start the deduplication check automatically in the following ways:
Initial
When you create or make changes to a claim but before you add a trade promotion, the system starts the initial claim deduplication check.
Complete
When you save a claim that has one or more trade promotions assigned, the system starts the complete claim duplication check.
You can also start the deduplication check manually at any time by clicking the refresh button.
The system displays an error, warning, or information message when a duplicate claim is found.
Ignore duplicate reasons
When a duplicate claim is found by the system and there is a valid reason for the duplicate claim, you can choose the reason for continuing to process the claim.
Note
If a claim has the status Canceled
or Corrected
, the claim is excluded from the duplicate checks.
