SAP MDG duplicate check is configured in the MDG customizing area and then activated for the change-request step that creates the master data. The usual flow is to define the search application, maintain the match profile and relevant fields, assign the configuration to the entity type, and test the warning popup in NWBC.
Process flow
- Open `MDGIMG`.
- Navigate to `General Settings` → `Data Quality and Search` → `Search and Duplicate Check`.
- Open `Define Search Applications` and choose `DB` or `HA`.
- Maintain the search help or HANA search view allocation.
- Create or select the match profile.
- Maintain relevant fields for the entity.
- Open `Configure Duplicate Check for Entity Types` and assign the profile.
- Maintain low and high thresholds and save the settings.
