That way, if the duplicate records are ever again reacquired, they won't have to be re-examined to determine if they're really duplicates. If, after review, one of the two records is simply deleted, the review process will have to be repeated if the deleted form ever shows up again. In the above file, undesirable record 543 has been marked as a duplicate for record 236. If record 543 had been deleted after the first acquisition and review, the review process will have to be done over again if the unwanted version is reintroduced to the file. With the above scheme, any attempt to reacquire an obsolete prospect can immediately be detected and ignored.
