  Association matching is a feature of SAP Data Services that allows users to match records from different sources based on a set of criteria. This feature is used to identify and link records that are related to each other, such as customers, products, or orders. It can also be used to identify duplicate records and merge them into a single record.

  When using association matching, it is important to ensure that the criteria are set correctly in order to get accurate results. It is also important to review the results of the matching process in order to ensure that all related records have been identified and linked correctly.
