How do I configure SAP MDG duplicate check for Business Partner using DB Search or HANA Search?
Configure duplicate check in MDGIMG under General Settings > Data Quality and Search > Search and Duplicate Check, then maintain the search application, assign the search help or HANA search view, define the match profile and relevant fields, and finally assign the duplicate-check settings to the entity type and test in NWBC.

SAP MDG duplicate check is configured centrally in the IMG. For BP, the standard flow is: define the search application, assign the technical search object (DB search help or HANA search view), maintain the match profile and relevant fields, then configure duplicate check for the entity type with the required thresholds and warning behavior. In the project-specific example, the HANA-based setup uses `BP`, `BP_HEADER`, `HA`, low threshold `60`, high threshold `80`, and match profile `MATCH_BP_CUS`, with staging records included and warning as the result behavior.
Process flow

- Navigate to `General Settings -> Data Quality and Search -> Search and Duplicate Check`.

- Assign DB search help or HANA search view.
- Create or select the match profile.
