De-duplication rules are configured to identify duplicate files or records in the files received for processing. Data de-duplication is a process that eliminates excessive copies of data. Post syntactical validation, file transformation and record extraction in Electronic Data Exchange, de-dupe rule is run to eliminate duplicates.

Bank user can configure de-dupe rules for a file as well as for record level.

If a duplicate file is identified, the file is rejected. If a duplicate record is identified, only that record gets rejected and rest of the records are pushed for further processing.
