Deduping and Deleting Names
General
Information
You can also use the match results list box of the Customer and Order Lookup Screen to
perform standard maintenance routines for your customer database,
such as combining duplicate names and deleting unwanted names.
Note: If you have the
optional List Management Module installed with
your M.O.M. System, you can use the List Deduplication option of that module
to dedupe your entire customer list.
Combining Duplicates
-
Position the cursor on the duplicate name(s) and select Customer
from the Main Menu. Select the Mark Duplicate option.
-
Position the cursor on the master name (the name that you want to
save) and select Customer from the Main Menu. Select the Mark
Master option.
-
Select Customer from the Main Menu and select Combine Names to
combine the duplicates.
Note: Club memberships will be
merged as well.
Deleting a Name
Position the cursor on the name to be deleted and select Customer
from the Main Menu. Select Delete to delete the name from the
database.
Note: If a customer name
has orders associated with it, it cannot be deleted. You have to
purge the orders first using the Database Purge Module before deleting
names with orders.
