Need help to merge duplicates

[jacquesl]

Hi,
I have a big problem. We imported several thousand entries of a csv into our account database and got many duplicates. Now we would like to merge them. Two entries should be merged if the name and the adress is the same.

Is there any way to do this automized? The "Merge Duplicates" button where entries have to be specified manually would take weeks for us to do.

I would appreciate any help

Hi Andreas

The best way is to create a php script to merge the duplicated records automatically.
Do you have php and sugarcrm development skills?

Let me know if you need additional help.

Hi,
I used the forum account from one of my partners by accident.

Unluckily I don't know about SugarCRM development. Can you help me write that code, or write it for me or point me to someone who can do it?

All I need is a merge functionality that merges two entries if the account name and adress is the same.

Thanks in advance.

Was this ever taken care of?

I am having a similar issue. I am using sugar 6.0.

I went into the studio to edit the email settings Studio>Targets>Fields>email1

I set Duplicate Merge "In Filter".

How do I search for all the duplicate emails?

I started a new thread with a couple of more questions
