There is a difference in record counts between taking a national Managed Great Britain Set (MGBS) and the national 5km-tile supply. This is because the two supplies use different selection criteria. The difference in record counts is shown in the following table, allowing you to validate your data holdings once you have loaded the latest release of AddressBase Core.

A small difference in record counts is expected due to there being several features supplied in the MGBS which fall outside of the tiled area.
If you receive a Change-Only Update (COU) supply for your AddressBase Core product, you will receive Insert, Update and Delete records within the supplied file. The following table details the numbers of these records which can be expected in the COU supply of the product:
Inserts
5 619
Updates
21 684
Deletes
1 615
COU populated 5km tile count
2 801

Details of data issues for AddressBase Core will be communicated on the AddressBase Core Known Data Issues page. This page will provide details of their impacts and updates on the expected time frame for their resolution.
It's important that COUs are processed with Deletes first, then Inserts and Updates. This is to ensure that updates are applied in the correct order. Further guidance on this can be found in 'Working with COU data' in the AddressBase Getting Started Guide.
