305: Numeric fact must not be reported with a string value
Recorded as a finding also shown as EBA.305
Official text
Numeric fact must not be reported with a string value
How it appears in feedback
[table],[row],[column],305, Numeric fact must not be reported with a string value,
What triggers it
A numeric field holds text or is blank where the DPM expects a number (CSSF example: b_05.01 c0100 left empty for a direct provider).
A numeric column (notice period, total assets, cost) contains text, a currency symbol, a thousands separator or a decimals suffix.
How to fix it
Report plain numbers in units (2540100.23), no currency symbols, thousands separators or 'Not applicable'.
Report plain numbers: 18450000 not 18,450,000 or €18.45m. Monetary amounts are in units, not thousands.
