Hello - I'm trying out an audit use case to identify potential duplicate paid invoices. The pattern I'm looking for would be the same vendor name, same gross amount, similar invoice #. Specifically with the invoice number, I sometimes see invoice numbers adjusted with 'A', 'B', or '-1' entered at the end of the invoice. Thus invoice # 1234 would also show as 1234A or 1234-1. My initial thought was to try and verify that for any vendor and gross amounts that match, compare the invoice number with "contains", thus 1234 is contained within 1234A and 1234-1.
I am trying the WildCard Join macro available within the Community, but what I'm finding is that pushing a lot of data through that is quite time consuming for the workflow.
Anyone have a different solution?
Here is some sample data
