In this guide, we will cover different settings that can be changed in Pagero Online. Here you will also learn how to manage your company's userbase. Note that in order to make changes to company-level settings, you must have administrator rights. Similarly, normal users won't even be able to see these settings within Pagero Online. Normal users can still manage their own user-level settings such as username and password. This guide is mainly aimed for admin users.

1. Duplicate Control
Duplicate control is a feature in Pagero Online that will prevent duplicate invoices from being sent accidentally. The control will check if a document with the same document identifier has already been sent during the fiscal year and stop it in an error state.
If a duplicate invoice is sent while the duplicate control is on, it will stop in error and can be found from Handle documents with error view in Pagero Online.
If you need to resend documents that have already once been sent, the duplicate control setting needs to be turned off.
How to turn off duplicate control and resend an erroneous document
1. Go to Settings - Settings - Outbound
2. Turn duplicate control off by choosing No control and on by choosing a month indicating the beginning of your fiscal year.
3. Click Save at the bottom of the page
4. Resend any documents that have stopped in duplicate control in Handle documents with error.
Please note that the detection only checks against invoices created after the duplicate control setting was enabled. If the setting is turned off and back on, invoices sent while the setting was Off will not apply for duplication check.
2. Pagero Messages
Pagero Messages are notifications sent to your Pagero account with updates regarding your account. To view these messages in Pagero Online you simply choose Messages from the left-hand menu. You will also get a notification email whenever there is a new message in Pagero Online.
Different types of Pagero Messages you can receive
Sent document in error
If you have documents in error that have not yet been handled, you will receive daily reminders of these unhandled erroneous documents until the document has been deleted or successfully resent.
Received document yet to be fetched
If you have setting Daily email notification set ON. Pagero will send daily reminders if you have inbound documents (invoices, orders, etc.) that you have not yet fetched into your system.
Customer & Supplier directory requests
If you use Pagero Online features Suggest new customer or Suggest new supplier to have your supplier or customer added to Pagero's public directory, you will get a Pagero Message once the request has been handled informing you whether the request was approved or rejected. Additionally, if you have a closed customer or supplier directory, you will also receive messages whenever a customer or supplier requests to add you to their directory in Pagero Online.
Settings for Pagero Messages
You can further manage settings regarding Pagero messages, such as how frequently you receive email notifications about your messages and to which email addresses, you can update your company and user settings.
To choose the notifications for your own user account go to Settings - settings - User settings. There you can choose whether to receive mail notifications or not.

You can also decide a specific email address where these notifications should be sent. You can even place multiple addresses if you separate them with a semicolon.
In the tab Notifications you can manage how your company should receive notifications about documents that are not yet fetched from PO into your system. Here you can choose if you wish to receive these notifications to a specific, separate email address, as well as if you'd wish to receive daily reminders until the documents have been fetched.
3. Uploading/Replacing SAML Certificate

These notification emails will be sent to your company's every admin user.
4. Setting your e-ID for different service providers
