Scope questions

Checks to make before comparison

Use the closest accountable source for the question and record its publisher and access date.

When is a field available?

Only after the selected source or data dictionary confirms it.

Why should I record the unit?

Values with different currencies, scales or quantity units should not be compared as if they were the same.
