When I enter a duplicate reference number for an invoice in accounts payable, I still get a message that says "A check has not been printed for this invoice." Is there a way to prevent accidental duplicate payments for the same invoice?

FWIW .. the reference number is mainly something that is meaningful to you, the system usually replaces that with a check number when you print checks.

The question becomes why are you creating another invoice? If you don't want to print a check, you should be entering these under Manual Checks. Having an explanation of why you're doing what you're doing would be beneficial.
