Question:

Why is the Supported Document with Supporting Document Report returning duplicate Supporting Documents in Vault?

Answer:

• This occurs when document relationship type Carry Forward Source Relationship is enabled.
  • In this scenario, when a supporting document is added, a relationship record is created.
  • When the Supported Document's version is updated. A new relationship record is created.
    • This record is identical to the original record, except the version of the Supported Document is set to the current version.
  • Document relationship reports are driven by relationship records, so if there are multiple relationship records between the same two documents, there will be "duplicate" rows in the report results.
