Documentation
Definition
For customer items the payment reference is given a key that is sent to the customer with the invoice. The customer should take the payment reference into account when paying.
For vendor items the key is contained in the payment reference that the vendor sends with the invoice. In automated payments the payment reference can be resent to the payment recipient.
Use
The payment reference is sent to the financial instituion concerned for outgoing payments and then sent on to the beneficiary.
When processing account statements the items concerned can be determined and cleared using the payment reference.
Annotations
The use of payment reference numbers is usual in Finland, Norway and Sweden. In these countries there are also rules for the structure of a payment reference whose contents are monitored using check numbers.
