How do I configure SAP MDG duplicate check for Business Partner or Customer creation in SAP MDG?

Configure MDG duplicate check in MDGIMG under General Settings > Data Quality and Search > Search and Duplicate Check, then define the search application, maintain the match profile and relevant fields, assign it to BP_HEADER or the relevant entity type, and enable duplicate check on the CR step. In the guide, DB search is used for BP/customer testing with MCBP_GENERAL, match profile MATCH_BP_CUS, and thresholds such as 60/80.
