Setting Up Person Identifier Types
When you set up a person, you may define the various types of identification associated with the person, e.g., their driver's license number, their tax identity, etc. Every piece of identification associated with a person has an identification type.
How are person identifiers used? The reason why identifiers are defined on a person is so that users can look for a customer using one of their person identifiers (see Control Central - Search Facilities for more information). In addition, person identifiers help prevent duplicate persons from being added to the database. The base product provides an algorithm type C1-PERSONVAL that can issue a warning or error to a user before they add a new person or update an existing person when another person exists with the same identifier. This is a BO validation algorithm on the person MO’s identifying BO.
Person identifier types are optional. An installation option controls whether at least one identifier type is required on every person.
