I have an issue with NetSuite duplicate detection. It does not detect duplicates based on the “Represents Subsidiary” field for intercompany vendors.

****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** NetSuite's duplicate detection feature is a powerful tool that can help you maintain clean and accurate data in your account. However, it seems like you're experiencing an issue where the system is not detecting duplicates based on the "Represents Subsidiary" field for intercompany vendors. Unfortunately, NetSuite's duplicate detection feature does not consider the "Represents Subsidiary" field when identifying potential duplicates. The system primarily checks for duplicates based on the name field of the record. This is because the "Represents Subsidiary" field is not a unique identifier and can have the same value for multiple vendors. If you need to prevent duplicates based on the "Represents Subsidiary" field, you might need to consider a custom solution. This could involve creating a custom field that combines the vendor name and the "Represents Subsidiary" field value, and then setting up duplicate detection for that custom field. To access the duplicate detection setup, navigate to Setup > Company > Company Management > Duplicate Detection. You can also go to Lists > Mass Update > Entity Duplicate Resolution to search for all possible duplicate records based on criteria you have set. With the duplicate resolution mass update, you can find and resolve large numbers of duplicate records in your NetSuite account in a single operation. Please note that this is a workaround and may not be suitable for all use cases. Always test any changes in a sandbox environment before implementing them in your live account.
