# Apply data quality rules on entering or updating a record

When you manually create or update a record, data quality policy rules can be applicable.

These data quality policy rules can be applied:

| Rule type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Validation rules | Check if the data is in line with the defined standards. Validation rules are applied automatically when you manually enter or update a record. If data quality policy execution logging is enabled, validation rule execution results are logged. You can review and process the logged validation rule execution results. |
| Duplicate check rules - Basic matching | Check if the data doesn't already exist in the table, based on a combination of table fields. Duplicate check rules of type **Basic matching** are applied automatically when you manually enter or update a record. If merging duplicates is enabled for basic matching, and duplicates are found, you can compare the duplicates and merge field values. |
| Duplicate check rules - Fuzzy matching | Check if the data doesn't already exist in the table, applying fuzzy logic. To apply duplicate check rules of type **Fuzzy matching**, you must manually start the check. If duplicates are found, you can compare the duplicates and merge field values. |
| Enrichment rules | Set field values in a target field in D365 F&SCM. Enrichment rules are applied automatically when you manually enter or update a record. |

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The data quality policy rules are applied on entering or updating a record only:
> 
> - If the '**Form**' execution trigger is enabled for the data quality policy.
> - For active data quality policy versions.
> - To the applicable data.
