  • 1.  Matching between entities

    Hi,

    Can we do matching between 2 entity types in Reltio ? For e.g.:  I've two organization entity types (Org1 & Org2) with similar data and need to match entities between these 2 entity types. 

    Regards,

    Sree

    Hi,

    Thank you for the question. 

    Currently, we do not support matching between two different entity types. However, there are ways you can achieve matches between different entity types with some customization.
     
    One option is to perform an external match against Org2 entity type data on Org1 data. To accomplish this, you would need to extract Org1 data from Reltio and then use an external matching application to match this Org1 data with Org2 data

    Hi @Suchen Chodankar,

    Is this still the case that Reltio doesn't allow matching across two entity types?

    We have a use case of matching a supplier with a customer entity and wanted to see if we had any option other than external matching after exporting the data.

    Have you considered using the D&B D-U-N-S Number for this?

    Hi Jay,

    Good thought !! but we cannot consider this option as we are getting lot's of irrelevant data from one of the source and we do not need to master them (third party matching is also costly). however  as Suchen mentioned we were planning to do external matching and then load only the matched records into another entity for stewardship which is not possible as matching between two different entity types are not supported.
