FBDI Payables Payment Request – Homonyms and Requester Fields Uniqueness

Hello,

In the FBDI template for Payables Payment Request, we noticed that there are only two fields available to indicate the requester at the header level:

• Invoice Requester Name
• Invoice Requester First Name

We plan to use these fields as workflow approval attributes to route notifications to the requester.

However, we have a situation where there are homonyms in our organization (e.g., two employees named “John Doe”). How does the system handle this during the upload process?

Is there any way to ensure uniqueness when loading the data, for example by using the requester’s email address or another unique identifier?
