| Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept. Description | This category encompasses data quality rules that perform EU VAT validation through VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) with fuzzy matching capabilities for the qualification component. When VIES returns the officially registered company name and address for a VAT number, this validation uses fuzzy string matching algorithms to compare it with the provided business partner data. This allows for acceptable variations in spelling, abbreviations, word order, and formatting that might occur legitimately between different data sources. For example, variations like 'GmbH' vs 'Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung' or 'Street' vs 'St.' can be recognized as matches. Fuzzy qualification reduces false positives where the VAT number is correct but minor data variations would cause exact matching to fail, while still flagging significant discrepancies that indicate real data quality issues. |
