Improved matching with transliteration support in Business Partner Lookup
Overview
We have enhanced the Business Partner Lookup service by introducing support for transliteration-based matching. This new feature improves accuracy when matching business partner names, cities, or streets written in different alphabets — such as Latin and Cyrillic — by applying a transliteration step before similarity scoring is calculated.
Details
When the feature toggle ENABLE_TRANSLITERATION_MATCHING is enabled, the lookup service will:
- Automatically detect if the input and reference data use different alphabets.
- Apply transliteration to normalize both values into a common character set.
- Calculate the matching score based on the transliterated (normalized) form.
Example Use Case
- Input name: STRIMON SPA AD (Latin alphabet)
- Reference name: СТРИМОН СПА - АД (Cyrillic alphabet)
→ Now correctly matched with a high score thanks to transliteration.
Availability
This feature is available behind a feature toggle (ENABLE_TRANSLITERATION_MATCHING) and can be activated upon request.
