Main Record Selection Setting

Controls the method used to identify which record in a duplicate set becomes the main during a link. The underlying profile option is ORA_ZCH_LINK_SETMAIN_TYPE.

The options are:

• Main account is based on duplicate identification result: Internal logic of the duplication identification process determines the master.
• Select highest Customer Profile Quality Score as main: The record with the highest customer profile quality score is selected as the main record.
• Select the main record for link type using groovy scripts: Logic groovy script configured with Application Composer Data Quality Rules determines the main.
• Select the newest sales account as main: The record with the most recent creation date is the main.
• Select the oldest sales account as main: The record with the oldest creation date is the main.

Consider these points:

• The Select the older record as master and Select the latest record as master options use optimized internal processes and may offer the best performance.
• The Duplicate Identification batch process identifies a preliminary master record, but the final determination of master record occurs within duplicate resolution processing per the Master Record Selection Setting. Select the Select master based on duplicate identification results option if you want to retain the master record selection from the duplicate identification results.

Note: If the creation date value is exactly same for the records, then the party with the lowest party ID is chosen as the master record.
