Background documentation The Merge Records Dialog  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

The Merge Records dialog contains a grid with: (1) a column for the merged result record; (2) a column for each selected record; and (3) a row for each of the fields, qualifiers and attributes of the selected records, as shown in the figure below.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Note

In the grid, the column for the merged result record is named [Merged Record], while the column for each selected record is named with the value of the display field of the record (or [NULL] if the display field is empty).

The set of attributes includes the combined set of attributes for all the categories represented by the selected records. When you set the category value in the merged result record, MDM highlights the names of the attributes that are not linked to that category in blue. Then, when you close the Merge Recordsdialog, MDM automatically links to that category any attributes in blue for which you set values in the merged record.

You can double-click on a source column grid cell to quickly set the field value of the merged record for the selected field (overwriting the previously set value, if any).
