As part of our ongoing effort to deliver indispensable content across modern channels, Dun & Bradstreet updates the Comprehensive Customized Data Product (CCDP):
1. Portugal – increase of financial statement granularity, Nov 20th, 2026
2. Spain – increase of financial statement granularity, Nov 20th, 2026
3. UK – Principals and Management rollout via Companies House API, Dec 11th, 2026
What you need to know:
Customers do not need to pay for any software upgrades to receive this functionality. These changes will automatically be incorporated into the EU B2B Gateway. Technical and other relevant contacts should be notified immediately of these changes though in case application updates are required. Specific details of these changes are as follows:
1. Portugal – increase of financial statement granularity, Nov 20th, 2026
Currently, the detailed financials for Portugal are partly using simplified financial D&B codes that do not allow optimal differentiation of financial items. These D&B codes require an update to provide optimal service.
Going forward, a new financial statement template will be used which may lead to changes in values e.g. the following fields:
CCDP/RecordPayload/Financials/FinancialInformationEntry/FinancialStatementHeader/StatementTemplate
CCDP/RecordPayload/Financials/FinancialInformationEntry/ProfitLossAccounts/DetailedLocalFormat/CostSales CCDP/RecordPayload/Financials/FinancialInformationEntry/ProfitLossAccounts/DetailedLocalFormat/GrossProfitLoss
These are just examples – more fields from the “FinancialInformationEntry” are affected – please reach out for additional information. Five years of history will be updated. The changes will not result in any monitoring notifications being sent. Only new requests will contain the changes.
2. Spain – increase of financial statement granularity, Nov 20th, 2026
Currently, the detailed financials for Spain are partly using simplified financial D&B codes that do not allow optimal differentiation of financial items. These D&B codes require an update to provide optimal service.
Going forward, a new financial statement template will be used which may lead to changes in values e.g. the following fields:
CCDP/RecordPayload/Financials/FinancialInformationEntry/ProfitLossAccounts/DetailedLocalFormat/CostGoodsSold
CCDP/RecordPayload/Financials/FinancialInformationEntry/ProfitLossAccounts/DetailedLocalFormat/GrossProfitLoss
These are just examples – more fields from the “FinancialInformationEntry” are affected – please reach out for additional information. Five years of history will be updated. The changes will not result in any monitoring notifications being sent. Only new requests will contain the changes.
3. UK – Principals and Management rollout via Companies House API, Dec 11th, 2026
The UK Companies House is changing their data provision mechanism from batch files to an API. This change affects how Principals and Management information is delivered to D&B for UK corporate companies. Among the changes are:
a) Some text fields change the capitalization of the content
b) The sorting of the principals is changing
c) Start and end dates of e.g. associations and positions might change
d) Some information fields like e.g. the Registered Operating Status Code or regarding Occupation, Title or Suffix of Principals will no longer be maintained and will therefore be delivered empty
Customers monitoring businesses in UK should expect an increased number of monitoring notifications.
Actions you should take:
1. If you are not a technical contact or are unsure about the potential impact on your systems, please forward this message to your internal IT specialists or your implementation partner.
2. Please register on the Dun & Bradstreet Operational Status Dashboard (https://status.dnb.com/) for the EU B2B Gateway solution if you have not already done so. This ensures that the right contacts on your side are properly informed at all times about changes like this one.
