    Hi sandeepc

    You need ensure the entity is enabled for duplicate detection.

    Go Settings > Customizations > Customize the system > entities.

    Click the entity you need, then check ‘Duplicate detection’ under ‘Data Services’ section.

    Test.

    Go Settings > Data Management > Duplicate Detection Rules to create new rule.
