Limit duplicate invoice warning by vendor
When using import invoices, Sierra will warn staff if they are about to process an electronic invoice that shares an invoice number with one already in the system. This can be quite helpful as it's very easy to accidentally download an invoice multiple times if you're not careful.
However, recently one of our libraries has found that two different vendors have been producing invoices for them using the same numerical range and these are leading to false duplicate warnings.
It would be helpful if the duplicate check compared both the invoice number and the vendor code, instead of just the invoice number, in order to properly account for that fact that different vendors may produce invoices with the same numbers.

The invoices from our two biggest vendors now share the same numerical range - this is leading to a lot of false duplicates.
