MDM SaaS assigns a match and merge status to each source record after you ingress it. The status is updated as the records progress through the match and merge process.
During the ingress process, the status of the records is first set to MATCH DIRTY. After the match keys are generated, the status of the records changes to MATCH INDEXED. All the records in the MATCH INDEXED status can go through the match process. The match process creates record pairs, and the status of the records changes to MATCHED. All the records in the MATCHED status can go through the merge process. After the records are automatically or manually merged, the status of these records changes to CONSOLIDATED.
If you haven't merged the records and reset the MATCHED status of record pairs, the status of these records changes to MATCH_INDEXED.
During the ingress process, you can also exclude a source record from participating in the match process by specifying it as not ready for match. These records don’t participate in the match process and remain as unique master records until they are marked as ready for matching.
When you ingress source records with business IDs of existing records, the records don’t go through the match process. The status of the records changes from MATCH DIRTY to CONSOLIDATION PENDING. The ingress process generates match keys for records with the CONSOLIDATION PENDING status and changes the status to CONSOLIDATION INDEXED. The merge process merges the master records based on the business IDs specified during the ingress process, and the status of the records changes to CONSOLIDATED.
The following image shows the different match and merge statuses of a source record:
The following table describes the different match and merge statuses of source records:
