During a migration activity, why should duplicate person records be merged?

Merging duplicate person records during a migration activity is crucial because person records are global in Oracle Fusion. This means that each individual is represented by a unique person record across the entire system, which helps maintain consistency and accuracy of data across various modules and functionalities in the HCM Cloud. When duplicate records exist, it can lead to confusion and discrepancies in reporting, talent management, and workforce analytics, affecting how organizations manage their human resources.

The global nature of person records ensures that every individual is recognized uniquely, allowing for efficient data management and compliance with worldwide regulations and organization policies. When duplicates are eliminated, it streamlines workflows, promotes clearer communication, and enhances the overall integrity of the data within the system.
