OCR reference control

The OCR reference numbers your company uses, for example printed on invoices and deposit slips, must function in the internet banks. This test corresponds to the control of OCR reference numbers used by internet banks.

What control is in use by your company is controlled in the company's bank agreement. If you are unsure of what control applies, your company's bank will be able to assist.

The full test function will soon be translated into English!

1. Specify actual OCR control

Check digit control with :

soft control level (Checksifferkontroll med mjuk kontrollnivå) The company must produce OCR reference numbers with check digits. The last digit must be a check digit using modulus 10. The invoice or similar must show that an OCR reference number is to be used for payment to the Bankgiro number. All internet banks will be demanding that the payee must register a correct OCR reference number, but accept another reference parameter following a warning, since the agreement contains a soft control level.

hard control level (Checksiffer-kontroll med hård kontrollnivå) The company must generate OCR reference numbers with check digits. The last digit must be a check digit using modulus 10. The invoice or similar must show that only an OCR reference number is to be used for payment to the Bankgiro number. Internet banks will demand that the payee must register a correct OCR reference number and only accept the reference number containing the correct check digit. Payments containing the correct OCR reference number are reported in accordance with the agreement, normally on file.

variable control of length digit in the OCR (Checksifferkontroll och variabel kontroll av längdsiffra i OCR-referensnumret) The company must produce OCR reference numbers with both check digit and length digit. The last digit must be a check digit using modulus 10. The last number but one is the length digit, i.e. one digit that defines the reference number length including the check digit. If the reference number is for example 24, 14 or 4 digits in length, the correct length digit is 4. The invoice or similar must show that only an OCR reference number must be used for payment to the Bankgiro number. Internet banks will demand that the payee must register a correct OCR reference number and only accept the reference number containing the correct length digit. Payments containing the correct OCR reference number are reported in accordance with the agreement, normally on file.

permanent length control in the OCR reference number (Checksifferkontroll och fast längdkontroll i OCR-referensnumret) The company must generate OCR reference numbers, with check digits, made up from the number of digits as regulated by the agreement. The last digit must be a check digit using modulus 10. The number of digits in the OCR reference number (length) must be in accord with one of the lengths chosen in the agreement (maximum 2 different numbers of digits can be chosen). The chosen lengths are noted in the agreement with the company's bank and information regarding the chosen lengths must be distributed to all internet banks from Bankgirot. The invoice or similar must show that only an OCR reference number must be used for payment to the Bankgiro number. Internet banks will demand that the payee must register a correct OCR reference number and only accept the reference number containing the correct check digit and length that agrees with the chosen lengths in the agreement. Payments containing the correct OCR reference number are reported in accordance with the agreement, normally on file.
