Documentation
Definition
The payment reference contains a key for customer line items which is passed on to the customer in the invoice. The customer should refer to the payment reference when making the payment.
For vendor line items, the key that the vendor passes on in the invoice is entered in the payment reference. In automatic payment transactions, the payment reference can be passed on again to the payee.
Use
When an outgoing payment is made, the payment reference you specify is passed on to the relevant financial institute and from there to the payee.
When you are processing your account statement, you can use the payment reference to determine which items you have paid and then clear them.
Annotations
Payment reference numbers are often used in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. These countries also have rules for the structure of the payment reference. Check digit procedures are used to check that these rules are followed.
Examples
DME Finland: The number '4477' has a check digit of '8' and should be defined as the character string '44778'.
DME Norway: The number '12345678' has the check digit '2' when using the Modulo-10 method, and check digit '5' when using the Modulo-11 method. Therefore, 123456782 or 123456785 are permitted as payment references.
DME Sweden: The number '1234567890' has the check digit '3' and should be defined as the character string '12345678903'. The Modulo procedure used is a form of Modulo-10 with the key '1212121'.
