Legal forms in the CDQ data model
Legal forms define the official organisational type of a business partner and are modelled as a dedicated reference domain in the CDQ data model. They link each entity to a country, standardise local names and abbreviations, and group forms into categories for consistent semantics across jurisdictions. This structure supports validation logic, matching, compliance checks and prepares partner data for analytics and AI.
