Party Values

The Party Values business feature in Open Cloud MDM enables the classification and storage of various values associated with a party. These values can originate from external systems like data warehouses or be defined within the implementation, providing a comprehensive repository of information related to the party. Party values are integral to the party object and can also be included in party-level composite transactions. Each value type can store up to ten value attributes, offering ample storage for additional party-related information. These values are typically categorized and provide insights into the party's attributes, characteristics, or performance.

Key Aspects of Party Values:

• Storage of External and Internal Values: Party values encompass both data received from external systems, such as data warehouses, and values defined within the Open Cloud MDM implementation. This flexibility allows for a wide range of data sources to contribute to the party's profile.
• Multiple Value Attributes: Each value type can accommodate up to ten value attributes, providing the ability to store a variety of information for each category.
• Query and Retrieval: Party values can be retrieved by specifying the party ID, value category, category code, and value, facilitating easy access to specific data elements.
• Comprehensive View of the Party: By collecting and organizing diverse information, party values contribute to a more complete and nuanced understanding of the party's characteristics and attributes.
• Versatile Use Cases: The Party Values feature is highly flexible and can be adapted for a wide range of applications and use cases, making it a versatile tool within the Open Cloud MDM system.
