Salesforce Administrator — Question 380

The sales operations team at Universal Containers purchased a list of shipping companies they would like to be imported into the Salesforce org using the Data
Import Wizard. Some companies on the list may already be customers.
Which fields should the administrator use to prevent duplicates when importing these Account records?

Answer options

• A. Owner Name and Account Name.
• B. Account Name and Account Site.
• C. Account Name and Created Date.
• D. Account Name and Billing Address.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Using Owner Name and Account Name is effective in preventing duplicates because it combines both the ownership and identity of the account, ensuring that existing records are accurately matched. The other options may not provide sufficient uniqueness to prevent duplicate entries, as they either lack ownership identification or do not address potential variations in the account names.
