Cross-object duplicate
A cross-object duplicate is one real payment recorded twice in QuickBooks as two different record types — most often a hand-entered bill and the same payment re-added from the bank feed as an expense.
Because the two records are different object types, QuickBooks never compares them, so the duplicate sits unnoticed while the P&L overstates the expense. It's the duplicate that slips past every per-record review, because nothing looks across a bill and an expense at the same time. Invoice Auditor reads across object types and surfaces the suspected pair side by side, with the vendor, amount and date, for you to confirm.
