Duplicates

Reconify groups transactions in the same source that share a non-empty reference.

Only the first occurrence participates in matching. The duplicate group is emitted in output for review.

Why duplicates matter

Duplicate references can mean:

• repeated export rows
• reused payment references
• partial settlement records
• refunds or reversals sharing an ID
• source-system data quality problems

Investigation flow

1. Check summary.duplicate_count.
2. Open the duplicates section.
3. Confirm whether repeated references are expected.
4. Fix the source export or adjust upstream reference selection if the reference field is not unique enough.

Empty references are not grouped as duplicates.
