Weighted Calculator SourceSystem Strategy

This strategy indicates the best source system for a field, and is used when the quality of the field in question depends on its origin. For example, to indicate that the data from SystemA for a specific field is of a higher quality than SystemB, define a SourceSystem quality for “SystemA” and one for “SystemB”. Then assign SystemA a higher utility value (85.0, for example) and SystemB a lower utility value (30.0, for example). This indicates that SystemA is a more reliable source for the field. If both SystemA and SystemB contain the specified field, the value from SystemA is populated into the SBR. If the field is empty in SystemA but the field in SystemB contains a value, then the value from SystemB is used.
