# Duplicate Product Records: Review Before You Merge or Delete

Authored ToolFlowKit practice material. These records are teaching examples, not customer data, current vendor offers, or measured software results.

## Which rows belong in the same duplicate group?

Row IDs distinguish source positions; they do not establish whether business content is duplicated. The last row is a separate test mutation, not a fourth original order line. Keep the original file and the decision log. Delete a repeated line only after deciding the actual business key and whether repetition has meaning in the source system.

| Row | Business content | Classification | Action |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| P01 | TRAY-01 / OAK / USD 18.00 | Reference for group G1 | Keep source row |
| P02 | TRAY-01 / OAK / USD 18.00 | Same business fields as P01 | Ask whether repeated source row may be removed |
| P03 | TRAY-01 / WALNUT / USD 21.00 | Different variant | Keep separate |
| P02 changed-price test | TRAY-01 / OAK / USD 19.00 | Conflict rather than exact repetition | Check authoritative quote and date |
