FAQs
1. What if I want to add an Account that is using a Card Number that is already used by another AccountID?
For CreateAccount use query parameter:
OKToAddDuplicateCard
For UpdateAccount use query parameter:
OKToUpdateDuplicateCard
2. Can I mix the usage of using the Query Parameters vs not using the Query Parameters?
No
If you do, then the Duplicate Card Check feature might no longer be valid.
So, if you decide to do this (mixing), you might as well NOT use this feature.
