Dummy post code detected (DE)This data quality rule checks whether the post code comprises dubious patterns that may render the record incorrect. The patterns, selected specifically for Address/country/DE are the following: Regular expression/Mononumerical post code with delimeter
Regular expression/Not available post code
Regular expression/Ordinal sequence of numbers
Regular expression/Single digit post code
Regular expression/Very long digits post code.

Identifier Qualification (European value added tax identifier (Germany), Data source:VIES)This data quality rule checks the congruency of the given identifier against the identifier maintained as reference for the European value added tax identifier (Germany)INFO
Identifier format inaccurate (European value added tax identifier (Germany))This rule checks the syntax, i.e. format of the European value added tax identifier in Germany with respect to the reference format. Any deviation (i.e. white spaces where they are not specified) result in a violation. The European value added tax identifier in Germany consists of exact 9 numerical digits prefixed by "DE". This rule checks possible whitespaces, hyphens or dots that might be comprised in the identifier value. If there are any whitespaces, hyphens or dots then the rule is violated.INFO
Identifier format invalid (Business Registration Number (Germany))The format of the business registration number that this rule checks consists of the following components:
  • It starts with either "HRA" or "HRB," which represents the type of registration in the German Handelsregister.
  • An optional space may follow after the "HRA" or "HRB."
  • Next, there should be a sequence of 4, 5, or 6 numeric digits.
  • After the numeric digits, there may be an optional space followed by a single alphabetic character.
  • Following the Handelsregisternummer, there can be additional words, each composed of alphabetic characters, separated by whitespace. This is to allow components such as "Amtsgericht München"
INFO
Identifier format invalid (European value added tax identifier (Germany))The European value added tax identifier in Germany consists of exact 9 numerical digits prefixed by "DE". This rule checks the existence of exact 9 digits without considering possible whitespaces, hyphens or dots that might be comprised in the identifier value. If there are less/more or non-numeric digits the rule is violated.ERROR
Identifier format invalid (Tax identification number (Germany))The format of the German Steuernummer can vary depending on the tax office and the individual's circumstances. However, a general format for the Steuernummer in Germany is as follows: XX/XXX/XXXXX

Explanation of the format: The Steuernummer consists of three parts separated by slashes. The first part (XX) represents the two-digit identifier for the federal state tax office. The second part (XXX) represents the three-digit identifier for the district tax office. The third part (XXXXX) represents the individual's unique five-digit identification number within the tax office.

The length of the tax number varies between 10 and 11 digits in the standard scheme of the countries. The federal scheme standardizes this to 13 digits. (F)FF represents the last two or three digits of the four-digit federal tax office number (BUFA number). In addition, BBB(B) stands for the district number within the area of the respective tax office. In North Rhine-Westphalia it is 4 digits, otherwise 3 digits. (U)UUU is the personal distinction number. In North Rhine-Westphalia it is 3 digits, otherwise 4 digits. P is a single-digit check digit . If a 13-digit tax number is required for electronic transmission, a 0 must be inserted between the 4th and 5th digits.
