A practical checklist
- Read both entries’ dates, quantity units, notes, and load or job references.
- Confirm with the people involved whether they recorded the same event.
- Preserve useful details in the correct record before removing a confirmed duplicate through available controls.
Two entries both reference scale slip 702 and 9.2 t from South Hill. The crew confirms one load was entered twice. A third 9.2 t entry with slip 703 is a different load and should stay.
What to avoid
Do not remove a legitimate pass just because its quantity matches another. Repeated values can be real, particularly for measured or standardized work.
