   If the Enable Infor AI Model setting is enabled in the widget configuration, you are presented with additional record checks before the supplier is created. In the Duplicate suppliers window, you can verify the list of duplicate records. The first row always shows the fields on the widget that has input. When you click Export, the input data which uses the first row in the output together with the succeeding duplicate records are downloaded on a CSV file.
