Question

1C

Question from the past)
Atypical configuration 1c 7.7
There is a list of clients. Clients, among other things, have the attributes "full name" and "date of birth"
. Completed orders and other documents are attached to the client.
Tell me how to combine the duplicate values ​​of the reference book "clients" by the coincidence of the attributes "full name" and "date of birth", so that all documents in which this client appears would also be combined.

Answer 1

For the seven there was a universal processing of the replacement of values. (In my opinion, as part of the typical configurations, there was only a search for links, and this one was separately on the ITS disk) You need to find this or similar processing yourself or write and apply it yourself so that in all objects of your configuration, links to one counterparty are replaced by another counterparty. After this, the unused counterparty is killed.
