| Description Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept. | Customer and vendor data quality decreases, even if the data is not touched, e.g. due to address changed, M&A, or insolvencies. Keeping the data up-to-date manually is complex and high effort on a global scale. Commercial registers and other reference data sources have to be monitored continuously. And for countries without reliable reference data, data has to be researched business partner by business partner. The CDQ Business Partner Update Monitoring takes over the effort of manual update screening. Business Partner Updates are automatically collected and made available in an easy to analyze and integratable way.
CDQ manages a number of update monitoring data sources in addition to its Data Sharing Pool. In order to continuously collect updates for your records synched with the CDQ data mirror, linkage strategies are defined that uniquely link your record (in the data mirror) with the reference record in an update data source (see list of linkage strategies below). In rare cases where there is no unique linkage possible, fuzzy linkage might be applied. The update data sources can be individually activated and are then continuously collected. Users can then fetch and filter updates on demand, e.g. daily, weekly, or monthly.  |

Classification of Updates
- If an update is classified by a few different rules then we take the higher level classification: CRITICAL > REJECTED > MAJOR > MINOR > TRIVIAL > UNMODIFIED
- rules of type GENERAL are used for classification only if there are not any rules that can be applied
