Merging Duplicate Contacts

Posted on by 2

I have a list with many duplicates of contacts, some can have up to 10 different contact cards for the same company. How do I go about merging these or resolving these duplicates?

    Hello

     You can use the following solution  that is in the link below.  it's for customers, but you can change it to contacts with some little work.

    There is no way to merge it using NAV default process. My personal view is you should not spend time on developing a module to merge these contacts. Simply you can export these to a excel file and then do all the modification in the excel itself and then import it back to NAV. It will be easy for you since most of the users are really good in excel functionalities.  (My personal view point)

    To export data you can use dataport since you are in the 2009 version.

    Edward,

    Unfortunately i don't aware of any standard process to delete duplicates, you have to write a process report/CU to merge it.
