Documentation
Definition
Customer items contain as payment reference a key which is notified to the customer or in the invoice. The customer should reference this when making payment.
In the case of vendor items, you enter the key which the vendor uses in the invoice sent to you. In automatic payment transactions, the payment reference can be communicated to the payment recipient again.
Use
In outgoing payments, you communicate the payment reference to the bank or other monetary institute, and it then passes the information on to the payee.
In bank statement processing, the payment reference enables you to identify and clear the item affected quickly.
Annotations
Use of payment reference numbers is usual in Finland and Norway. These countries also have rules governing the format of payment references; check digits area used to monitor observance of these rules.
Examples
DME Finland: The number 4477 has check digit 8; you must store it as character string 44778.
DME Norway: The number 12345678 has check digit 2 in the Module 10 process or check digit 5 in the Module 11 process. This means that 123456782 or 123456785 are permitted payment references.
