can i merge duplicate customers using csv import

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Yes, you can merge duplicate customers in NetSuite, but it's not directly possible through CSV import. NetSuite provides a feature called "Duplicate Detection and Merging" which allows you to merge duplicate records. However, this process is manual and you need to review and merge the duplicates. If you have a large number of duplicates, you might want to consider using the

EntityDeduplicationTask

with scripting. This allows you to automate the process of merging duplicate customers. However, it's important to note that this method requires a good understanding of SuiteScript and the NetSuite API. For importing orders and creating new customers, it's a two-stage process. First, you would import and create the customer records, then use the same file to create the orders. This process can be automated using a script or a third-party tool like Celigo's integrator.io. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
