• Key Concepts: 
  Duplicate check is a feature in SAP that helps to identify and prevent the creation of duplicate entries in the system. It is used to ensure that only unique records are created and stored in the system. It is part of the Business Partner component of SAP SRD-MD-BP FDN. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Duplicate check can be enabled by setting up a search criteria for the system to use when searching for potential duplicates. This criteria can be based on certain fields such as name, address, or phone number. Once the criteria is set, the system will automatically check for any potential duplicates when a new record is created. If a duplicate is found, the user will be notified and given the option to either cancel or proceed with creating the record. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the search criteria for duplicate check, it is important to consider which fields are most important for identifying potential duplicates. For example, if two records have different names but the same address, it may be more important to use address as the search criteria rather than name.
