What's the usual way to reconcile duplicates in Party(s)? Like if we have multiple Party(s) for
the same person.
Perhaps have an administrator click a button that pools together suspected duplicate Party(s)? The
administrator can then transfer all related records from one duplicate to another, possibly with
audit trails intact too. Sounds like heavy coding work, though.
I'll need to handle the above, since there is no way I can prevent a user from creating duplicate
Party(s).
Or more strictly prevent duplicates in the first place? Maybe I can have like a "3-point
comparison" function that decides whether the user is entering duplicate data. I suppose I can
dictate that there can be no duplicates in "name and postal code and mobile phone number (plus any
other super-personal details)".

Still not infallible if two users use the same machine.

An IP of each order is recorded.
you may be able to have a service the links orders by iP address.
this is not infallible but can help.

Can anyone tell me what the Link Party function under Party Manager
does?
An implementation we are doing includes a significant number of customer
records that are duplicates. In these cases the same party may have
placed Orders under different partyId's. The client claims that
identification of duplicates can only be done by humans( I doubt this
!!, but that is another story). What they have requested is that we
develop a service that will assign all records related to one party to
another partyId. I am wondering if Link Party can be leveraged here.
Thanks for any input
