  To use the cutoff date feature, users must first set the cutoff date in the system. This can be done by navigating to the “Settings” tab in the LOD-MDM Master Data Management Services interface and selecting “Cutoff Date”. From there, users can enter the desired date and save their changes. Once the cutoff date is set, any data entered after that date will be considered valid and will be used in reports and other processes.
