turning off duplicate detection for contact results in an error

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that turning off duplicate detection for contacts in NetSuite may result in duplicate records, which can cause confusion and data inconsistency. NetSuite's duplicate detection feature is designed to prevent the creation of duplicate records. When this feature is turned off, the system will not alert you when you are creating a new contact that already exists, which can lead to duplicate contacts. If you are dealing with duplicate contacts, you can inactivate the duplicates. To do this, you need to ensure that the

setting is enabled in your preferences under Analytics. However, it's important to note that NetSuite's standard duplicate detection does not work across different record types. For example, if you have an individual customer record and a contact record with the same email, NetSuite will not consider them as duplicates because they are different types of records. If you need to detect duplicates across different record types, you may need to create your own duplicate detection mechanism using a workflow or script. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
