I've created a custom matching rule and duplicate rule to stop Duplicate Accounts being created.

My criteria is as follows

(Name and Address Line 1) OR

(Name and postcode) OR

(Name and Town/City) OR

(Address Line 1 and Postcode) OR

(Address Line 1 and Country)

I have excluded certain current user profiles on the duplicate rules. Both are active.

I can't understand why it isn't firing. I have logged in as another user (system admin are exempt), created an account with same name and same address line 1 for example and I was not blocked from creating it.

It only seems to block me when all fields in the rule are exactly the same.

Can anyone help? enter image description here

    In the screenshot I can see the Active flag unchecked. Anything to do with it?

  • I had deactivated it to edit it when I took the screenshot so please ignore that. It was definitely active!

  • What is the profile for the user that you logged in as?

The criteria is not in the correct format, I have updated it to: ((Address Line 1 OR postcode OR Town/City) AND (Account Name)) OR ((Address Line 1 and Country))

((1 OR 2 OR 3) AND (4)) OR ((5 AND 6))

It is now working as expected!
