Documentation

Definition

The reference number is an internal number which is used to manage the created data media. The print program assigns a unique reference number to every data medium created. This establishes a connection between the data medium and the payment documents.

Use

In Germany, the reference number is written into the A record of the data medium file. The house bank involved in the transaction returns the reference numbers of the executed files to the user so that he/she can make any necessary supplementary account assignments.
