Country specific validation

This section describes the validation of the Bankkonto/giro, Plusgiro, Org.nr and OCR-kod fields.

The countries for which we have implemented control for which fields are as follows:

Country	CID code	Bank account	Postal giro	Organisation no.	IBAN
All countries supporting IBAN					X
Norway	X	X	X	X	X
Denmark	X	X	X	X	X
Sweden					X
Finland	X				X
Great Britain					X
USA
Germany					X
Poland					X
Lithuania					X
Russia
Estonia					X
Latvia					X

These controls can be turned off for each country defined in the Landbehandl. field in the Land table.

Bankkonto/giro and Plusgiro

Control based on modulus 10 with the multiplier 2,1,2,1
Control based on IBAN rules.

The calculation skip spaces, dots, commas, dashes in an account number.

The field can take 35 characters so if an IBAN account inclusive formatting (spaces) is longer that 35 characters you have to remove some of the spaces. The longest legal IBAN account no is 34 digits. If you paste a longer IBAN because of spaces the program removes the spaces automatically.

Org.nr

The organisation no is only verified by applying one validation method and leading country codes. Formatting spaces and trailing VAT codes are not included in the validation.

For the verification, we are using the Modulus 10 method, with the multipliers: 2,1,2,1.

OCR-kod

The CID code have four different validation methods and if the CID code in a country can be calculated with a different modulus that the ones, you have to except the CID code from being checked for this country.

Validation based on modulus 10 with the multiplier 2,1,2,1
Validation based on modulus 11 with the multiplier 2,3,4,5,6,7
Validation based on modulus 10 (Finland) with the multiplier 7,3,1
Validation based on Structured Creditor Reference standard (ISO 11649) when CID starts with 'RF'

Anm: Structured Creditor Reference validation is always performed first if CID code starts with 'RF', when CID validation is enabled in Landbehandl..
