Hello all,
I would like to know if we can prevent de-duplication or inserting/saving of incorrect keywords. For instance there might be an item ID = LAPTOP, and any other employee would go ahead and create a same item but with incorrect keyword = LEPTOP. How can we prevent such scenarios in Acumatica?

Hii
Acumatica does not provide a built-in mechanism to automatically validate keywords against existing inventory IDs or detect spelling variations such as LAPTOP vs LEPTOP. Keywords are treated as free-text values, so the system will allow users to enter similar or misspelled entries.
To minimize duplicates and incorrect keywords, consider the following approaches:
If this is a frequent issue, a customization can be implemented to validate keywords during data entry. For example:
This can be implemented in a FieldVerifying or RowPersisting event, depending on whether you want to warn users or block the save entirely.

The most common approach is to control item creation through security roles and data governance processes, limiting who can create. For additional control, a Generic Inquiry can be implemented to identify or warn about potentially duplicate or misspelled items.
