Ensure that the
Check for missing children
option is enabled.
The option is enabled by default. When enabled, matching occurs between the parent base object records and their associated child base object records. Matching occurs even if the parent base object records do not have child records in the child base object for which the option is enabled.
Match key generation depends on the configuration of the
Check for missing children
option. If the
Check for missing children
option is disabled, and if the parent record has no child records, match keys are not generated for the parent record.
