SAP MDG duplicate check is configured in MDGIMG or SPRO under General Settings -> Data Quality and Search -> Search and Duplicate Check. The standard flow is: define the search application, assign the search help or search view, create or select a match profile, maintain relevant fields, and configure duplicate check for the entity type. In the trainer guide, the Business Partner example uses DB Search in the PDF and HA Search in the supporting guide, with thresholds and result behavior set per project.
