    Hi Tin,

    Enable Duplicate Detection

    [View:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/crm-customer-center/turn-duplicate-detection-rules-on-or-off-for-the-whole-organization.aspx:750:50]

    Now you need to create duplicate detection rules

    Go to settings>>Data management>>Duplicate Detection Rules>>new

    [View:http://www.powerobjects.com/2013/08/06/duplicate-detection-with-security-roles-dynamics-crm/:750:50]

    Now go to settings>>Data management>>Duplicate Detection Jobs>>new

    Select the entity on which you want this to run and apply any criteria/filter if you want

    Checkmark 'Run this job every' and type 1 manually (by default its 7 days but you can change it manually) and finally submit

    Follow the screenshot below:

    In the duplicate detection job, You can even type the days to one instead of 7. It will work

    Thanks Prashant,

    I am getting below error,any idea how can move forward?

    "Bulk Detect Duplicate Limit Exceeded. The Bulk Duplicate Detection job cannot detect more than 5000 duplicates. Please review your duplicate rules or resolve existing duplicates and rerun the job"

    You have to narrow down your list by applying filters during bulk detect duplicate

    For example contacts created on is this year

    Then run the job

    If you are really getting 5000+ duplicates its a matter of concern coz your data needs too much cleansing

    If lets say you started using this crm system in 2014 then create 3 different jobs

    One for contacts created this year

    One for contacts created last year

    And one for contacts created in 2014

    Hi Tin

    I can see that u ask questions regularly but don't verify them.

    If your questions in the previous posts and current post have been answered, please mark them as verified as it helps other members to easily identify a solution

    Thanks good logic :)

    I have data from 4.0 to 2015 so it means data is huge here.......:)

    I don't feel this logic will work for me.

    Hi Tin,

    5000 records at a time is a limitation.

    If the method I suggested is not suitable, you will have to create a custom plugin with de-duplication rules. community.dynamics.com/.../127054
