Generate OCR or KID references

OCR and KID are payment reference numbers used in Sweden and Norway to match incoming payments to the correct customer. In the FA Platform, these reference numbers are used to automatically match incoming deposits (from bank statements) to the corresponding portfolios in FA.

FA system can generate the following reference numbers:

  • OCR reference number – Used in Sweden to identify the customer in the payment information.

  • KID reference number – Used in Norway to identify the customer in the payment information.

The reference number is generated based on the portfolio's tax country and saved as an external ID in the Portfolio window, IDs tab.

To configure this feature, enable the fa_portfolio_payments_reference_generation.xlsx decision table. This Decision Table defines the rules for generating OCR and KID numbers based on the portfolio's tax country.
