Match Rule Configuration Scenario

Your organization has customer information stored in the Party base object and other related base objects. The Party base object contains duplicate records for many customers. You want to configure match rules that can identify and queue up duplicate records for merge.

The Party base object contains duplicate customer records that might have the first name and the last name missing, or with incorrect or inconsistent entries. The Display Name column has values for each record. The records are categorized as a Person or an Organization party type. The addresses of the customers are stored in the related Address base object. The Party Address Rel relationship base object defines the relationship between the records in the Party and the Address base objects.

You want to create match rules to match duplicate customer records that have the Person party type in the Party base object. Records with the Person party type belong to individuals. You can perform the match based on names and addresses stored in the Party and Address base objects.

To match duplicate records, you need to create an automerge match rule for records that are sufficiently similar and can be queued for automerge. Also, you need to create a manual merge match rule for records that are possible duplicates, but need to be reviewed by a data steward before the merge process.
