Avoid duplicate contacts

Question

Hello,
I have a problem in my community odoo 13 version, I want to avoid typing duplicate contacts.
If a contact already exists, that if we want to create the same contact, it blocks.
Does anyone know how I can do this?
King regards

You can create an automated action to prevent duplicates. The point is to know when a record is a duplicate (same reference, same name?)
Here is a good example  https://odootricks.tips/automated-action-to-prevent-duplicates/ [1]

you can create an automated action (using studio for instance)* there you setup the filters which suits your needs* anf finally you add the following code within the python window* exists = env['res.partner'].search([('name' , 'ilike' , object.name),('supplier','=',True),('id','!=',object.id)])
if exists:
raise Warning('ce fournisseur "' + object.name + '" a déjà un enregistrement!')

Hi,
I want to avoid the duplication using the Identification Type Number and the Identification Number. But when I create a "child" contact of a contactad that I already have, Odoo tell me that I am duplicating because this new contact receive the same tax id.
