INFA MDM - Source Submit

Submits source system data to B360 for matching and consolidation. The MDM engine decides whether to create a new master record, merge with an existing one, or hold the record for approval.

Informatica docs: Business entity record APIs — Create Master Record

ℹ

Why "Source Submit" instead of "Create Master Record"? The Informatica API calls this "Create Master Record," but the operation always requires a source system. You are submitting source data; the MDM engine decides whether to create, merge, or hold for approval. The name "Submit" sets the right expectation: the caller sends data, the system makes the decision. See Design Concept for the full naming rationale.
