Duplicated transactions

Please vote for enhancement 160494!

It is currently possible to enter two identical vendor bills (or other transactions) in Netsuite that have identical "Reference Numbers" and receive no warnings -- even with the "Duplicate Number Warnings" feature enabled. That's because Netsuite doesn't truncate trailing whitespace before comparing reference numbers. (Should be an amazingly trivial Javascript fix.) Netsuite DOES truncate the trailing whitespace when you save the record, so the result is two transactions in your database with identical reference numbers, and no warning is ever given to the user.

The consequences are pretty bad for almost any business -- double-entered vendor bills means double-paid vendors and money out of your pocket.

Howdy, Stranger!
