Overview
It is possible to have received a purchase order multiple times.
It is also possible to have inserted a manual purchase receipt instead of receipting the purchase order from the supplier. This causes issues whereby you will have purchase receipts that have been posted but not invoiced and stock receipts more than once.
You should always check the Outstanding/Uninvoiced Purchase Receipts and Stock Credits weekly or monthly.

By naviagting back to the purchase order you will be able to check the number of times the receipt has been posted
If the purchase order has an existing purchase receipt already invoiced, then you know that the uninvoiced receipt is a duplicate.
Work out the scenario
If the purchase order hasnt been invoiced at all. You should do one more check to ensure that a stand alone purcahse receipt wasnt created and invoiced.
Navigate to the products on from the purcahse receipt,. check the product movements for the same date range and supplier and quantityThere are two main reasons for having many uninvoiced purchase receipts:
The receipts were finanlised correctly, but never invoiced
A first receipt was processed and (in most cases) invoiced. Then a second receipt was processed for the goods in error. Either from the purchase order or via a manual receipt.
To identify duplicate receipts, review the list of receipts on the related purchase order or if there is no purchase order on purchase receipts
In both cases the action required is to invoice the receipt:
For genuine receipts, obtain the relevant invoice information then invoice the receipt to the normal supplier
For duplicated receipts:
Particularly if the duplicate receipt is quire recent and if the goods have not been subject to a stocktake since the date the receipt was finalised. Then reverse the receipt with the reverse button if you can. (Note: We can’t normally reverse the receipt as by the time you have found it the goods have normally been sold. )
If a stocktake has happened for any of the goods on the receipt since the date of the receipt or if you can’t reverse the receipt using the step above as the goods have been sold. Then invoice the goods to a MISC supplier, as described in detail below. Then credit the MISC supplier.
Procedure:
Invoicing valid receipts that have not yet been invoiced.
Once you have worked out what does need to be invoiced then invoice it by getting a copy of the purchase invoice from the supplierFor the uninvoiced receipts that look like they are already receipted and invoiced follow steps below
Invoicing duplicated purchase receipt to a MISC supplier.
Once only, before you start invoicing any duplicated receipts that can’t be reversed to the MISC supplier. You have to create a MISC supplier and put them on stop.
