Duplicate invoice prevention

Ready for publish

Duplicate payments are silent losses. The same invoice arrives by email and through a portal, and both get paid because nothing connects them.

Flo reads each incoming invoice against history, matches on vendor, amount, and invoice number, and flags likely duplicates before they enter the payment run.

Flo flags duplicates. AP confirms. The double payment is caught at entry, not clawed back in an audit.
