Chapter 5: Postal address validation 77 Batch cleansing with Quarterly Adjustment Reports Data Quality for SAP accomplishes batch cleansing of postal addresses through Quarterly Adjustments. You first run Quarterly Adjustments with Data Quality for SAP's custom report as part of the installation and configuration steps. After installation, you may want to run Quarterly Adjustments on a regular, predetermined schedule. Also, you should run Quarterly Adjustments after installing new address directories from SAP Business Objects to validate data that may have changed due to the renaming of streets, the development of new areas, and so on. After you run Quarterly Adjustments, you should run the initial setup program. For information on initial setup, see "Run the initial setup" on page 47. You may also want to further customize the display of the report by making each address listed in the report a hyperlink to the editable address entry. For information on this process, see "Map address types for Quarterly Adjustment" on page 65. 78 SAP BusinessObjects Data Quality Management, version for SAP Solutions User's Guide Chapter 6: Duplicate check and error tolerant search This chapter describes the duplicate check and error tolerant search capabilities of SAP BusinessObjects Data Quality Management, version for SAP Solutions. These capabilities allow users to prevent the creation of duplicate customer records in the SAP database and also to search for customer records using information that may contain misspellings, omitted or transposed characters, and so on. Chapter 6: Duplicate check and error tolerant search 79 Understanding duplicate check and error tolerant search To help you understand the concepts of this chapter, this section briefly defines some of the terminology. Each of these concepts are explored in greater detail later in this chapter. Duplicate check Duplicate check is the process that assures that duplicate addresses are not entered into the SAP system when users create a new address record or update an existing one. During the check, if there are duplicates, the user is presented with the list of possible duplicates and allowed to select an existing customer and open that record, or to continue the process of adding the new customer, or to cancel the operation. Error tolerant search allows users to find customer records using partial information. Based on the partial information provided by the user, Data Quality for SAP presents a list of possible matches to the user. The user then can choose to select a record from the search hit list of matches for further processing or can cancel out of the search hit list. A break key is the search index for each record that this product uses for discovering similar, possibly matching, candidate records. A break key is made up of search terms that are arranged in a specific order. The search terms can be customized so that this product can determine that certain existing records have no realistic probability of being duplicates and should be ignored. In some previous versions of this product the term "match code" was used instead of break key. The decision to change this term to "break key" was made because "break key" is consistent with the terminology used for Data Services. Error tolerant search Break Keys 80 SAP BusinessObjects Data Quality Management, version for SAP Solutions User's Guide Understanding break keys and data fields When given input data during duplicate check and error tolerant search, this product limits the number of records used in the search by determining a break key for the data. It then considers only stored records with the same break key value as the input data when searching for duplicates. This process is altered when Data Quality for SAP is configured to include records with empty break key values. [. . . ] If you have previously activated index pool KNA1 ADRNR in a SAP CRM system, you should deactivate it.
