# Enabling deduplication for a single-producer/consumer system in Amazon SQS
<a name="single-producer-single-consumer"></a>

If you have a single producer and a single consumer, and messages are unique because they include an application-specific message ID in the body, follow these best practices:
+ Enable content-based deduplication for the queue (each of your messages has a unique body). The producer can omit the message deduplication ID.
+ When content-based deduplication is enabled for an Amazon SQS FIFO queue, and a message is sent with a deduplication ID, the [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/APIReference/API_SendMessage.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/APIReference/API_SendMessage.html) deduplication ID overrides the generated content-based deduplication ID.
+ Although the consumer isn't required to provide a receive request attempt ID for each request, it's a best practice because it allows fail-retry sequences to execute faster.
+ You can retry send or receive requests because they don't interfere with the ordering of messages in FIFO queues.
