Identifier deprecated

Property	Value
A technical identifier, unique in a certain context. Technical key	IDENTIFIER_DEPRECATED
The human-friendly name shown for this concept in the user interface, used instead of the technical name to improve readability and understanding. Display name	Identifier deprecated
Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept. Description	This category encompasses data quality rules that detect when an identifier uses a type or format that is no longer valid or has been superseded. Identifier systems evolve over time, with old formats being replaced by new ones or certain identifier types being discontinued entirely. For example, when a country reforms its business registration system, old registration numbers might be deprecated in favor of a new format. Using deprecated identifiers can cause integration failures, regulatory compliance issues, and problems with external data sources that no longer recognize the old formats. These rules help maintain the Accuracy dimension by identifying identifiers that need to be updated or replaced. Timely detection of deprecated identifiers ensures business partner data remains current and compatible with modern systems and requirements.

Deprecated identifier found (GST number (India)) ACCURACY	IN (India)	This rule detects Indian GST numbers that still carry a state code which is no longer valid. The first two digits of a GST number are the state code, and every state has its own code. When Daman and Diu were merged with Dadra and Nagar Haveli, the state code 25 became invalid and only 26 may be used, SAP adjusted the content of table T005S accordingly in its S4 table content release. For Andhra Pradesh the former state code 28 was likewise replaced by 37. The rule is triggered whenever a GST number begins with the obsolete state code 25 or 28.	INFO	RELEASED(2024-04-16)
Deprecated identifier found (Personal Identification Number (Croatia)) ACCURACY	HR (Croatia)	Until 2009 Croatian citizens were identified by the JMBG, the thirteen-digit unique master citizen number (Jedinstveni matični broj građana) that encodes the date of birth, the region of registration, a serial number and a check digit. It has been replaced by the eleven-digit OIB, which is now the obligatory identifier in Croatian public administration and on invoices. This rule flags a value maintained as OIB that has the structure of a JMBG, thirteen digits starting with a valid day and month of birth, so that the record can be updated with the OIB of the business partner.

For an individual taxpayer who is not an Indonesian resident, for a corporate taxpayer and for a government agency taxpayer, the NPWP has likewise consisted of sixteen numerals only since 14 July 2022. This sixteen-digit NPWP is a unique set of numbers issued by the Directorate General of Taxes, and for those registered before 14 July 2022 it is a zero followed by the previous fifteen-digit NPWP.
