Data quality rule	Description	Criticality
Dummy post code detected (ZA)	Regular expression/Not available post code Regular expression/One digit multiplied several times post code Regular expression/Ordinal sequence of numbers Regular expression/Single digit post code Regular expression/Very long digits post code. This data quality rule checks whether the post code comprises dubious patterns that may render the record incorrect.

Identifier checkdigit invalid (Tax identification number (South Africa))	This rule describes the algorithm for checksum digit (the last digit) for Tax identification number (South Africa). Logic for 10-digits identifier: 1) The odd positioned digits of the tax reference number (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9) are multiplied by 2. If the answer is greater than 9 the digits are added together to get the calculated value. 2) Add these calculated values and the even positioned digits of the Tax reference number (2, 4, 6 and 8) together. 3) Subtract the last character of this calculation from 10 to get the check digit. If this is not equal to the last digit of the Tax reference number as entered, then this does not pass the modulus 10 test. The last character is a check digit, calculated by applying the following algorithm: When the result of the line item calculation exceeds 9, add the individual digits together to obtain a single digit result (e.g. 18=1+8=9) Digit 10: Check digit if the last digit of Total >0 Then The Checksum digit should be equal to the result of 0 (Total mod 10) if the last digit of Total = 0 Then the Checksum digit shuld be equal to zero	ERROR
