Business Summary - Discrepancy between Registration Date (PDF) and foundingDate (JSON)

[jennyschan]

Reported via Discourse by Chelesa Hansen

There appears to be a discrepancy between the Registration Date on the PDF and the foundingDate in the JSON for some entities. The date in the JSON is one day later than the date on the PDF.

Issue:

• clarity needed on which dates do where between JSON and PDF

Todo:

• look up one of the firms and check their registration date/time
• Check the JSON for registration datetime (UTC) and match with the PDF label
• If they match, it's not an issue.
• Explain this to the client.

Investigation complete and description updated. Discourse has been notified that we are underway understanding/correcting this.

Founding Date is the date a business is recognized by the registry. In the business summary json

registrationDateTime = effective date in the filing ( Set when the filing is submitted , before the filer process the filing) founding date is set by the filer if the processing of the filing is successful

There will a few seconds between the time a filing is submitted and the time filer processes it.

The date time in the json is in the UTC format. The Registration date time in the pdf is the PST/PDT representation of the founding date.

Business start date is different from the regsitration/founding date. It is the date that the user selects in the registration process. There are some rules around this.

I think the registration date and founding date should return the same value.
