Data quality rules

Data quality rule	Description	Criticality
Dummy post code detected (SE)	This rule flags Swedish post codes that are placeholders rather than real post codes. The CDQ regular expression library supplies the patterns: a mononumerical post code with a delimiter, a not available post code, one digit multiplied several times, an ordinal sequence of numbers, a single digit post code and an excessively long string of digits.	ERROR
Identifier Qualification (European value added tax identifier (Sweden), Data source:AT.FON)	This rule checks whether the Swedish European value added tax identifier in the record agrees with the identifier held by the Austrian tax authority service AT.FON, and flags any deviation.	INFO
Identifier Qualification (European value added tax identifier (Sweden), Data source:BZST)	This rule checks whether the Swedish European value added tax identifier agrees with the identifier that the German Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt) holds as reference, and flags any difference.	INFO
Identifier Qualification (European value added tax identifier (Sweden), Data source:VIES)	This rule checks whether the Swedish European value added tax identifier in the record agrees with the identifier held in VIES, the VAT Information Exchange System of the European Commission, and flags any deviation.	INFO
Identifier checkdigit invalid (Organization Registration Number (Sweden))	This rule verifies the check digit of the Swedish organization registration number, which is calculated with the Luhn algorithm. A number that fails the check is flagged.	ERROR
Identifier format inaccurate (European value added tax identifier (Sweden))	The Swedish European value added tax identifier consists of exactly twelve numerical digits prefixed by SE. This rule checks whether the value is written exactly in that reference format and flags any whitespace, hyphen or dot it contains.	INFO
Identifier format inaccurate (Organization Registration Number (Sweden))	The Swedish organization registration number consists of ten digits. This rule checks whether the value is written exactly in its reference format and flags any whitespace, dot or hyphen it contains.	INFO
Identifier format invalid (European value added tax identifier (Sweden))	The Swedish European value added tax identifier consists of exactly twelve numerical digits prefixed by SE. This rule checks that exactly twelve digits are present, disregarding any whitespaces, hyphens or dots in the value, and that the last two digits lie between 01 and 94. A value with fewer or more digits, with non-numeric characters or with a final pair outside that range violates the rule.	ERROR
Identifier format invalid (Organization Registration Number (Sweden))	The Swedish organization registration number is a unique number assigned to business entities mostly by the Swedish Companies Registration Office, but also by the Swedish Tax Agency and the Land Survey. It consists of ten digits, the last of which is a checksum digit calculated with the Luhn algorithm. This rule checks that exactly ten characters matching the format are present, disregarding any whitespaces, hyphens or dots in the value, and that the first digit is not 4. A value with fewer or more digits, with unexpected non-digit characters or with a leading 4 violates the rule.	ERROR
Identifier missing (European value added tax identifier (Sweden))	Every legal entity in Sweden is expected to hold a European value added tax identifier. This rule reports records for which it has not been maintained.	INFO
Identifier missing (Organization Registration Number (Sweden))	Every legal entity in Sweden is expected to hold an Organization Registration Number, and this rule flags records where it is absent.	INFO
Identifier unknown (European value added tax identifier (Sweden))	European VAT identifiers issued in Sweden are exchanged through VIES, the VAT Information Exchange System of the European Commission. An identifier that this system does not know is treated as invalid.	ERROR
Invalid checksum of EU VAT ID SE (Sweden)	This rule verifies the checksum of the Swedish European VAT number, whose tenth digit is the check digit. For each digit in an odd position a value S is derived as the integer part of the digit divided by 5, plus twice the digit modulo 10. R is the sum of these values for the positions one, three, five, seven and nine. The check digit is then 10 minus the sum of R and the digits in positions two, four, six and eight, taken modulo 10, and the result taken modulo 10 again.	ERROR
Legal form invalid (Sweden)	A business partner in Sweden may only carry a legal form that exists in Sweden. Records carrying a different value are flagged.	INFO
Length of domestic bank account Id invalid (Sweden)	A Swedish domestic bank account identifier may not exceed the defined maximum length. Over-long values are reported by this rule.	ERROR
Length of national bank Id invalid (Sweden)	This rule verifies that a Swedish domestic bank identifier stays within the maximum length used in the country, and reports it when it does not.	ERROR

Post code Qualification (European value added tax identifier (Sweden), Data source:VIES)	This rule compares the post code of a Swedish business partner with the post code that VIES, the VAT Information Exchange System of the European Commission, holds as reference for its European value added tax identifier.

Post code format invalid (Sweden)	This rule checks the post code format of Sweden. Postal codes, introduced on 12 May 1968, consist of five digits beginning with a number between 1 and 9 and are written as three digits, a space and two digits. The first three digits are the outward sorting code and the last two the inward sorting code. The leading digits usually indicate the borough and the trailing digits areas or streets within it. Larger cities cover a whole range of postal codes and only the first digit is the same throughout the city, in medium-sized towns the first two digits are likely to be the same, and in more rural areas all three leading digits are the same. Large companies and post office boxes may have their own postal codes. Although the first three digits indicate an area, the town name given may differ. There are no Swedish postal codes beginning with 0, 32, 48, 49 or 99.	ERROR
