The Business Partner Duplicate Check supports the DUNS number and Tax Numbers as Additional Identifiers.

On the Taxes side, we do NOT have a check that prevents the creation of another business partner with the same tax number. The system will allow the creation of 2 business partners with the same tax number.

Please note that Extension fields cannot be used for the duplicate check.
