Avoiding duplicate partners

Avoiding duplicate partners

Duplicate partners make reporting messy and can lead to paying the same supplier twice. SiFi helps you catch duplicates before they happen.

How SiFi spots duplicates

When you add a new partner, SiFi checks the payment method against your existing list. If the new partner's payment method matches one already on file, you'll see a duplicate warning.

What to do when you see a warning

  • It's the same partner: Cancel and use the existing entry instead — the payment method is already attached to it.
  • It's genuinely different: A payment method can only belong to one partner at a time, so you can't add it to a second. Confirm which partner should hold it, then use a distinct payment method for the other.

💡 Tip: Keep aliases consistent, like "ACME — Riyadh" and "ACME — Jeddah," and ensure different payment methods are to keep similar partners easy to distinguish and clear.

Why it matters

A clean partner list means accurate analytics, simpler reconciliation, and no accidental double payments.
