Duplicate Supplier Checks Functionality

Functionality -

When we create a new supplier, if the name matches to that of an existing supplier, the match percentage along with the existing records are displayed. Even after completing the required setups, we are not able to see the matches.

Supplier match feature leverages Fusion Enterprise Data Quality (EDQ) which provides data quality services for Fusion Cloud applications. The duplicate supplier match feature is available to Fusion Cloud customers only, and is not supported for customers deploying Fusion Supplier Model on premise. We are a Fusion Cloud customer.

I reviewed Fusion documentation on how to configure the supplier match feature and I think there might be one of the many cases where the documentation is missing key information. Do you think that there is a process that needs to run after completing step 2? Note that I executed step 3 in a different browser.

Step 1: Configure party relationships for supplier match. See screenshot 1 in attachment.

Step 2: Manage data quality server configurations. I enabled the EDQ Realtime and Batch Basic Match fields. See screenshot 2.

Step 3: Manage enterprise data quality matching configurations. I performed a test of the configuration and exercise the EDQ matching engine. No results were returned. See screenshots 3, 4, 5 and 6.

For example, there is already a supplier created for 'Midtown Computer Supplies'. I performed a test of the configuration by entering 'Midtown' in the PartyName field and exercised the EDQ matching engine. No results were returned. I then tried 'Midtown Computer' and 'Midtown Computer Supplies' and still no results were found.

Then I tried another route. I navigated to the Register Supplier page and called the new supplier 'Midtown' and then 'Midtown Computer' but did not receive a supplier match warning message. Only when I enter 'Midtown Computer Supplies' is when an error message displays indicating a duplicate supplier exists. That said, I think the error message is separate from the supplier match feature. It is the same type of error message you receive when you enter a duplicate tax id.


If you will not find the task name then use Manage servers Task Name and do rebuild Index.
